About The Attack At Kap's Cafe
Nine shots were fired at a window of the newly opened Kap's cafe in Surrey, British Columbia.
While no one was injured, Khalistani terrorist Harjit Singh Laddi took responsibility for the attack. The incident took place just days after the cafe was opened to customers.
The attack was orchestrated by Laddi, who is one of India's most wanted terrorists and is also linked to Babbar Khalsa International (BKI). The shooting was reportedly ordered over certain remarks made at The Kapil Sharma Show, which he found offensive.
Responding to the incident, the cafe authorities shared a long note on their Instagram Stories. The team admitted that they were still "processing this shock".
The message read, "We opened Kap's Cafe with hopes of bringing warmth, community, and joy through delicious coffee and friendly conversation. To have violence intersect with that dream is heartbreaking. We are processing this shock, but we are not giving up."
It added, "Thank you for your support. Your kind words, prayers, and memories shared via DM mean more than you know. This cafe exists because of your belief in what we're building together. Let's stand firm against violence and ensure Kap's Cafe remains a place of warmth and community."
Kap's Cafe opened its doors on July 4. Khalistani terrorist Harjit Singh Laddi took responsibility for the shooting, in which no one was injured.

Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans But Not Everything Is So Great About That Ad
The date was July 23, 2025. American Eagle, the flagship retail brand of the Rs 16,700-crore company American Eagle Outfitters, decided it was time to make the brand great again. So, they did what any fashion brand with a chunky budget might do: they launched a flashy new ad campaign. The campaign featured Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney sporting seven different looks. There was denim on denim (with nothing underneath), the timeless jeans-and-white-tee combo, and everything in between. The brand went all in on the marketing blitz. 14 separate Instagram posts featuring Sweeney, and even a profile-picture change on Facebook. But the problems started with just the second post from the campaign. In it, Sweeney is lying down in her denim-on-denim look, doing her usual sultry thing, but it was the background text that sent the internet into a spiral. The copy struck a nerve. What followed was a series of posts that only added fuel to the fire. There she was - a blonde, blue-eyed white woman - front and centre of a campaign that repeatedly played on the pun between "genes" and "jeans". In one now-viral reel, Sweeney is seen buttoning up her jeans while breathing heavily. "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality and even eye colour," she says, before the camera pans up to her piercing blue eyes. "My jeans are blue." Another post read, "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans." The campaign tried to be cheeky, a nod to how people often say actors have "great genes". Only this time, Sydney leaned into it... while literally buttoning her jeans. And just when viewers thought they might be overthinking it all, the brand posted a clip where Sweeney very deliberately swaps the word genes for jeans. View this post on Instagram A post shared by American Eagle (@americaneagle) Sigh. What started as a mildly cringey pun began to feel like something much darker. Critics on the Internet quickly pointed out that the messaging echoed themes of 'eugenics', 'white supremacy' and similar other themes. And while that may or may not have been the intent, the resemblance was hard to ignore. A user also commented that the campaign is giving "subtle 1930s Germany," directly comparing the campaign to Nazi Germany and Hitler's obsession with promoting a singular "master race" or Aryan race ideology. Great genes. That's what Hitler's whole argument of Nazism stood on. Backlash from the left followed. There was praise from the right (Sweeney's family is openly conservative). And then came the calls for boycott. Pop star and singer Doja Cat also roasted Sweeney's campaign by mimicking the lines from the viral post, with bleached blonde hair. Doja Cat mocks Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle commercial in new TikTok. — Pop Base (@PopBase) July 29, 2025 But despite the uproar, the campaign did what it was probably designed to do - go viral. It trended, made headlines, and a week later, people were still talking about it. Even more telling? Stocks of the parent company jumped by 4 percent. So, yes, the campaign worked. But at what cost? The Male Gaze Another criticism levelled at the campaign is its apparent catering to the male gaze, ironic, given that the brand's primary target were women for this campaign. "Pandering to the male gaze? Check. Laziness? Check. Objectifying women in 2025? Check. This is why American Eagle is no longer relevant. Embarrassing," one user commented, capturing a sentiment that echoed across social media. The issue, as many saw it, wasn't just the creative execution. It was the broader context. Sweeney, often celebrated (and critiqued) for her unabashed embrace of her voluptuous body and her sizeable male fanbase, was presented in ways that seemed designed less for female empowerment and more for male consumption. The campaign, critics, umm random people on X and Instagram argued, relied on objectification as a sales tactic, using Sweeney's image to appeal to women while simultaneously commodifying her for men. The Bathwater Soap Controversy This isn't the first time Sweeney has found herself at the centre of a controversy that straddles the fine line between marketing genius and exploitative gimmick. Just weeks earlier, she partnered with Dr Squatch to launch a limited-edition soap dubbed Sydney's Bathwater Bliss, a product that included, quite literally, droplets of her actual bathwater. Priced at USD 8 and capped at 5,000 bars, the soap sold out almost immediately, despite widespread criticism, particularly from women. Still, the campaign's viral nature appeared to work in the brand's favour. Within weeks, Dr Squatch was acquired by consumer goods giant Unilever for a staggering USD 1.5 billion. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dr. Squatch (@drsquatch) So, was American Eagle's campaign a poorly executed dad joke gone rogue? Or was it a calculated move designed to stir just enough controversy to spark conversation and sales? That's for you to decide. Meanwhile, on Sunday, the brand quietly shifted gears. Their latest post featured a different model (a Black woman) donning a denim-on-denim ensemble. The caption read simply: "denim on denim on denim... on denim. AE has great jeans." Many viewed it as a move towards damage control, an attempt to recalibrate the campaign's optics after the backlash. Is it enough to change the narrative? American Eagle might say yes. Others might say no. All the while, the brand's stocks are laughing all the way to the bank.
