TIL Desk/World/New Delhi/ Canadian PM Justin Trudeau loses popularity, is viewed as worst prime minister in 50 years, Conservative party gains edge: Details
Justin Trudeau is a man with many woes. And they are not limited to India alone. At home, he is facing a barrage of criticism over his handling of the housing crisis, the rising cost of living and his ‘woke politics’. This has culminated in his ratings falling, with some calling him the ‘worst PM’
At the recent G20 Summit in Delhi, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi questioned Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about escalating “anti-India activities” in Canada linked to extremist groups. This encounter marked the end of a low-key chapter in Trudeau’s India tour, which had already been kept low-key due to Covid-19 regulations.
It’s hardly surprising that a so-called Khalistan referendum was held on the same day Trudeau met PM Modi in Surrey, British Columbia.
Trudeau’s Liberals currently hold power with the New Democratic Party (NDP), led by Indian-origin politician Jagmeet Singh, a known Khalistani sympathizer. The NDP has vowed to support the government until the next general election in autumn 2025.
While Trudeau’s comments about India’s involvement in Najjar’s death upset India, they appear to have struck a chord among Canadian Sikhs living in Surrey, British Columbia, which is recognized as a center of Khalistani activity. The Sikh community, Canada’s largest non-Indian community, has lauded Trudeau as a “hero” and said he is “vocalizing” their concerns.
