A woman interrupted Sikh lawmaker Jagmeet Singh's campaign event on Wednesday. A video of the exchange went viral on social media.

A Sikh lawmaker's measured response to being heckled by a belligerent woman in Canada has impressed many. Jagmeet Singh was subjected to an aggressive and racist rant by a woman at a campaign event in Brampton, Ontario on Wednesday and responded by saying: "We welcome you. We love you. We support you." A video of the exchange is viral.

Canada's latest political phenomenon is just 38. He's a dapper lawyer who wears bespoke three-piece suits, rides his bike to work and has been featured in GQ. He also sports a long beard and wears pastel-colored turbans and a kirpan, a ceremonial dagger, both integral elements of the Sikh religion.

A former Canadian cabinet minister and one-time provincial premier warned that Sikh extremism -- blamed for the 1985 Air India bombing - is rising in this country.
