4482 & 4498 Gordon Drive - revisted

Among the most preposterous projects rubber stamped by Team Dyas for his connected friends was Gordon Drive. Council voted 5-3 in June 2026 to rezone two properties at 4482 and 4498 Gordon Drive from large-lot housing (RU1) to townhouse housing (MF2) to allow a 65-unit row townhouse development.

Dozens spoke out against the development rezoning for Gordon Drive during the fixed public hearing. They were ignored.

Developer Bradley (Brad) Cronquist was gifted a change in zoning to allow 65 row townhouses. From RU1 (Large Lot Housing); designated S-RES (Suburban Residential) in the OCP to MF2 (Townhouse Housing); redesignated to S-MU (Suburban Multiple Unit). These are wood frame 3 story topped with rooftop patios. Most prominant concern is high density with a single access road feeding the already congested Gordon Drive.

The proposed driveway exits onto a sidewalk used daily by children walking to and from Dorothea Walker Elementary, Bellevue Elementary, Okanagan Mission Secondary, and the YMCA daycare. An independent time-stamped count on Friday, May 1, 2026 documented 400 vehicles in the 8:45 AM peak interval. To obscure that, the project's traffic analysis concluded 'minimal impact.' That was based on counts taken March 23–24, 2026 when students were on spring break. Schools were closed and buses weren't running. The study spewed PM peak only. Morning gridlock on Gordon Drive at the development site, looking toward the DeHart Avenue lights. Gordon Drive is an arterial road, already heavily congested at school drop-off and pick-up points. The project adds congestion and takes no measures to mitigate it.

All the Cronquists are lobbyists, and probably have a direct line to their good old buddy Tom Dyas. Both men are directly connected to and through the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce.

"For many years, Pushor Mitchell and the @kelownachamber of Commerce have been closely connected..." Tom Dyas with Patrick Bobyn, Pushor Mitchell lawyer and newly elected president. (bobyn@pushormitchell.com) Here.

Most galling of the meeting was the insulting horseshit from senior Maxine DeHart. The Khalistani employee bent over backward to piss on the petition of 891 Kelowna citizens. That sums up her, Tom Dyas, and much of  Kelowna council.

 

Kelowna Mayor Tom Dyas (centre, holding ball)

Latest in the Tom Dyas 'just can't stand it' department is not posing with a ball and speaking of $25m. This observer is getting tired of Dyas in the same off colour jacket every time. Surely diamond Dyas can afford more than one tattered old jacket. If he wants to appear the old iffin bum at every public appearance, its working. Pffft.

Team Tom Dyas revisited

Khalistani Team Tom Dyas, 64, are old. Average age of the sous chef's toxic trifecta is almost 70. When politicos are this close to the old folks home they are not effected by any of the decisions they make.

Mohini Singh (Ubhi), 66. 4 term counsellor, deputy mayor. She works for Bir Singh Sandher.

Maxime DeHart, 75. 4 term counsellor. Employed by Khalistani boss Gurjit Singh Jhajj.

Rick Webber, 68. 1 term counsellor. He has voted in lockstep with Tom Dyas on every issue. He is rewarded with doggie treats from Dyas. Dyas' core buttock boys Loyal Wooldridge (2 terms) and Luke Stack (5 terms) are gone.

330 McCurdy Road title - Mohini Singh, Paramjit 'Philip' Patara, Manher Singh - update

We're on the hunt for evidence of Manher Singh, the 3rd wheel slum lord partner with Mohini Singh and Paramjit Singh Patara.

Manher Singh may be an anonymous proxy holder.

A search returns SRB Law Corporation at 2-515 Harvey Ave. We suspect 'Manher Singh' is associated in some way. Mohini Singh's 'Gav Bassi' (Guri Bassi) of IMARKET.com, was spewing in May.

Guri Bassi was outed as a conman.

Samosa Place appears often in Khalistani propaganda. Mohini Singh has touted the business many times. Reputed owner Kainth S Vikas was touted by Maxine DeHart on FaceBook 4 days ago.

Lawyer Satinder (Deep) Singh Boparai joined SRB Law Corporation after running his own firm. He was called to the Bar in B.C. in 2023 after being a lawyer in Punjab. If one were to pick a Khalistani operative laundering money, it would be new arrival 'Deep' Boparai. Erick Diño, assistant, Sellek Bunn, principal, Satinder (Deep) Singh Boparai, associate.

-----------------------------------------

Mohini Singh's partners at 330 McCurdy Road are Paramjit Singh Patara (ppatara@shaw.ca) and Manher Singh. These are our slum lord trifecta. Deputy mayor Mohini Singh and Paramjit Singh Patara are close. Here.

3010 Lakha is the home of Royal Star Enterprises, owned by 'Philip' Patara. A one point Royal Star allegedly provided high margin airport shuttle and limo services. Most recently Paramjit 'Philip' is also into the UBER high margin landscaping maintenance and parking services business, operating under the name Patara Orchards. Nothing on that appears. Philip is a big TFW (temporary foreign worker) recruiter, with a dozen positions this year. (12) Paramjit Singh Patara is a long serving executive of the Okanagan Sikh Temple in Kelowna. Sukhdev Singh Goraya is temple leader now. In 2020 Philip was part of a business group ... "Special thanks to Royal Star Enterprise Inc, Chutney Restaurant, R&B Construction, Asha & Hari Singh, the Pit Stop C Store & Gas Bar Ltd, G. Parmar Professional Corporation, Farming Karma Fruit Company, City Towing, Andy Sandhu, Shangara Singh Kandola, CANCO Petroleum, Andy Virk and Ravinder Baidwan for raising $10,000 towards the matching gift campaign." Here.

Nothing appears for any Manher Singh in Kelowna on a first pass. What does appear is a development package offering 272 Asher Road in Rutland as a condo development project. It offers 'enhanced density and height allowances of up to 12 storeys. Zoning allows for rental or condo construction.' 250, 260, 270 & 272 Asher Road is offered at a highly reasonable $5.7m for 0.75 acres. Live ones may buy it at a 'reduced' price today. Here.

Phil's bio says ... "Paramjit then started his business here with the help of a long time resident of Kelowna – Joginder Singh Basran." Joginder Basran helped open the $600k Kelowna temple in 1982. Joginder Basran's grandson is Colin Basran.

In 2012 Phil was fighting for one of his drivers to remain a taxi driver because he was a criminal. Phil's ship had come in by August 20, 2017. A plaza, located at 5538 Airport Way, was the first of what was touted to be a larger commercial expansion at YLW. Taxi driver Phil Patara was the developer behind the new plaza. Mayor Colin Basran suggested this was the first of many more commercial investments at the airport. Here.

Businesses have come and gone at 5538 Airport Way. The gas station is now a Canco. Canco Petroleum is owned by Parmjeet Singh Sehgal, Ravinder Singh Nijjar, and Jatinder Singh Nijjar.

Sami El-Helou, top money launderer for the Sinaloa Cartel.

The Nijjars are brothers to slain Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. He was executed 18 June 2023 in Surrey by thugs tasked by Lawrence Bishnoi. Canco Petroleum launched in 2016 with a single location. By 2023 there were 100 Canco branded sites in Canada. In the span of 7 years, Canco’s growth pushed it into Ontario. Canco Petroleum now claims to own and operate some 160 gas station, convenience store, liquor, and quick service restaurant locations. Their exponential expansion was fueled by laundering vast sums of drug money from the Sinaloa Cartel.

Habibs seek expansion of Liquid Zoo - revisit

The Habibs have big plans. They want to increase the number of drunks they can serve from 500 to 600. The next council meeting is September 22. The last attempts by the Habibs in 2023 were shot down unanimosuly.

All are opposed to the Habibs. In the last five years, cops have responded to 245 “general occurrences” in and around their Liquid Zoo on Lawrence Avenue. 63 cases of assault have been reported, and the trend has been upward this year, with 26 files associated with the Liquid Zoo, compared to 28 in all of 2025.

The Habibs say all is uber good and that "Increasing capacity would actually contribute to better safety and security,"

Surrey slumlord Amit Chopra reached out to Kelowna mayoral candidate David Habib to help remove tenants from a drug house in 2022. Habib's solution was simple, board the property up with the druggies inside. “I’ve always been as I like to say, ‘in your corner,’” said Habib. In September 2013 a truck exploded in the driveway of a home in Kelowna as the result of a bomb. The truck didn't just catch fire, it exploded in the middle of the residential neighbourhood in the middle of the night. The resulting fireball destroyed the vehicle and was labelled 'suspicious' by fire crews and the RCMP.

Dale Habib

Cops dealt with 3 bomb cases that year, including when one blew up a truck owned by David Joseph Habib. His brother Dale was president of the Kingpin Crew, a disbanded puppet club of the Hells Angels. It folded amid much bad blood in 2013 on orders of the HAMC.

Kevin Van Kalkeren bought 16 years for trafficking.

The Kingpin Crew sold dope from Habib's 'Liquid Zoo' nightclub for many, many years, including mountains of cocaine from major operator Kevin Van Kalkeren. At some point Dale Habib and the Kingpin crew lost the support of the Hells Angels. David Habib tried to sell the club and building to a numbered company. A Liquor Control Branch investigation found that one of the new owners was Hells Angel President Damiano Dipopolo. The Branch refused to transfer the liquor license and the sale was unwound. The nightclub's license was returned in late 2011 and Habib reopened on January 9, 2012 with a special anti-gang condition. 3 days later, cops did a walk through of the club and saw a known gangster/drug dealer wearing a cap with the gang’s insignia on it. Habib said that while he had heard of the Kingpin Crew and knew they were a motorcycle group, he didn't think they were a criminal gang.

The executed Donny Lyons was a member of the Kingpin Crew and was very close to VP Lester Jones. Damiano Dipopolo and Lester Jones were kicked out in bad from the HAMC for stealing club funds. They stole from the collection trying to save 3 HA clubhouses in B.C. from forfeiture. Upwards of $3m was raised and a good slice of that was stolen by the 2 garbage low bikers. Damiano Dipopolo, ex-HAMC Kelowna president, avoided all justice for 20 years as top crime boss in the city.

The Kelowna clubhouse at 837 Ellis Street was purchased by the city and was leveled on March 18, 2025. Donny Lyons was executed June 15, 2024 by Prabtaj Singh Sandher and Gurtaj Singh Sandher on orders of the Sinaloa Cartel.
