I’m an Indian, and let me state the reality clearly. India has repeatedly warned Canada that many individuals seeking asylum there include criminals facing serious charges or jail time in India. Some exploit the Khalistan narrative to falsely claim political persecution, allowing them to gain asylum and citizenship. These networks have contributed to gang wars, drug trafficking, and rising violence in Canada. Khalistani extremists have a proven history of terrorism, including the Air India bombing Canada’s deadliest terror attack. If Canada genuinely wants to curb shootings, drug cartels, and organized crime, it must treat Khalistani extremist groups as terrorist organizations and stop offering safe haven to criminals. This is not about Sikhs,peaceful people. The problem arises when criminals and extremists are protected under the guise of activism. Canada’s continued refusal to extradite such individuals reflects a failure of policy, largely under the Trudeau government.
Detailed critique of Canadian immigration and asylum policy, citing specific security concerns and policy failures under the Trudeau government.

There is no justification or need whatsoever for keeping parliament porogued, PM Trudeau. And no justification for Trudeau to not have put more effort into drug and border controls over the last nine years.

Immigration wasn’t designed to help Canadians. It was designed to protect profits. The rich gained. Corporations gained. Government gained statistics. Society paid the cost.

Great start. 64% decrease in foreign students is a huge cut and definitely needed. Middle class tax cut is a step in the right direction and the $10 NSF fee is actually a huge underrated change. I’ll admit I’ve been in the situation where I forgot which day my bill is coming out and didn’t have my bank account prepared accordingly. Getting slapped with $50+ NSF fees just made it even worse. Nice to see a cap on that now as I felt like companies were abusing it.
Commenter approves of specific policy changes (foreign student cuts, tax cuts, NSF fee caps) and supports them with personal experience.
