It’s definitely important to see leaders like Melissa Lantsman speaking out against violence and extremism, regardless of the origin or the groups involved. The Khalistani issue has been controversial for decades, and it's essential for Canadian officials to take a firm stance.

Canadian government must not confuse Hindu swastika with Nazi Hakenkreuz, they are not the same. By doing this, it will promote hate against Hinduism, the very thing this bill C-9 is trying to combat, ban hate. Mark Carney Anita Anand Pierre Poilievre

Violence is NOT “culture.” Extremist floats must be banned. MPs—from every party—must stop giving cover to groups that glorify attacks. Canada cannot be a safe haven for any terrorist-linked organization. Mark Carney Pierre Poilievre India in Canada HCCanIN

OFIC strongly encourages our politicians to advance CEPA with India. India and China alone accounts for 26% of global GDP and 80% of Asia Pacific. Asia Pacific strategy becomes meaningful only when these 2 large global consumer power houses consider Canada as a reliable partner.

The CBC interviewer appeared poorly informed and overly argumentative. The discussion should have centered on CEPA and its role in job creation and economic growth. Taxpayer-funded programming ought to serve the interests of Canadians, and this was a missed opportunity to do so.
