Good News! Indian High Commissioner Dinesh Patnaik told @CTVNews that most of CEPA is worked out & could be concluded before @narendramodi's December visit. That would turn the visit from another negotiation into delivery, opening opportunities for Canadian agriculture, energy, uranium, potash & businesses seeking access to India.
But @MarkJCarney must now explain the agreement clearly, especially any mobility provisions. If Ottawa leaves a vacuum, immigration anxiety & groups opposed to closer India ties will define CEPA before Canadians understand its value.
A strong agreement needs an equally strong Canadian case behind it. @HCI_Ottawa

‘Clear language matters. Asked by NDTV about Khalistan slogans, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand invoked a ‘balance’ between public safety and expression. In an ANI interview, Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu responded to India’s concerns by pointing to sovereignists in Parliament and separatist politics in Quebec and Alberta.’
@MarkJCarney @narendramodi
India–Canada ties cannot be rebuilt through trade deals alone. As @WaliRuchi argues, PM Modi’s December visit must reach beyond Ottawa and address Canadian public opinion through transparency, security cooperation and direct engagement. The real test is whether trust follows diplomacy.

‘High Commissioner Dinesh Patnaik’s CPAC interview showed how quickly imprecision can eclipse everything else. Referring to Carney’s ambition to attract C$1 trillion in investment over a decade, Patnaik estimated that every billion dollars could create 10,000 to 15,000 direct and indirect jobs. He then projected 15 million jobs and said, ‘15 million people you’ll need’.’

Thank you my friend @ZahackTanvir!
Canada-India ties have huge potential, but Ottawa’s pitch is too transactional. India is a strategic partner, not a US alternative. From energy and uranium to tech & critical minerals, the opportunity is vast.
New Delhi must also explain its multi-alignment: partnering with the US, Japan & Australia through the Quad while engaging China & Russia through BRICS & the Shanghai.
Regarding PM #Modi's visit to #Canada, our friend @WaliRuchi has done amazing analysis! MUST-READ!

While immigration is a huge issue, let’s not use it as a polarization rant against India & hardworking legally immigrated Indo-Canadians.
Though Anti-India tirades work great for Khalistan appeasement, it’s not going to work for the rest. It did not work in 2025 & it won’t work now either.
@PierrePoilievre @CPC_HQ
The Government of India should not be instructing Canada’s immigration policy.
With unemployment on the rise, we must prioritize Canadians first for Canadian jobs. With our healthcare system on life support and homeownership a pipe dream for our youth, an increase in immigration will make our situation worse.
Carney's Liberals have no idea how many non-citizens are currently in our country. This is not leadership.
Conservatives will oppose any effort to increase immigration levels.

Goldy Brar is on @FBI Ten Most Wanted list in connection with Hardeep Singh Nijjar's killing. Gurpatwant Singh Pannun of @SFJ_US_Official has threatened revenge against Brar.
And we're supposed to believe this is all just about slogans & self-determination?
The reality is that Canada has become a khalistani gang-land.
Playing victim is central to the Khalistani narrative. Blaming India allows Khalistanis to cast themselves as the oppressed, India as the oppressor & escape scrutiny.
Question the ideology & you are branded anti-Sikh. or Indian agent or both. Terrorists become martyrs, wanted criminals become political dissidents, & investigations become foreign interference.
That is why Canadian Khalistanis work overtime to blame India for b0mbing AI182, despite extensive evidence establishing a Canada-based Khalistani conspiracy.
Watch Justice John C. Major explain that India’s involvement was thoroughly investigated & no evidence supported it.
Türkiye is not a neutral partner PM @MarkJCarney.
We already have Khalistanis & Islamists wrecking Canada. We don’t want more trouble.
@CanadaTrade
‘Exceptional Partner’ how exactly??
Prime Minister Mark Carney called Türkiye an “exceptional partner” during joint statements with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan Thursday, the latest move in a warming of relations between the two NATO allies.

Did Pakistan 🇵🇰 not help US negotiate with Iran?
BREAKING: Iran has cut off LPG exports to Pakistan after Islamabad's border closure with Iran under US pressure, making Pakistan lose more than half its LPG supply, with the price of a 12 kg cooking gas cylinder now up 56% in just days, from 4,500 to 7,000 rupees, and expected to climb further, per Reuters.
Pakistan imported about 7,000 tonnes a day from Iran. Hundreds of LPG tankers are stranded at the Gabd-Rimdan and Taftan crossings, and the Quetta Chamber of Commerce has told members to stop placing new orders with Iran.
"We did not expect this from our Pakistani friends, and did not expect them to come under the influence of American pressure," said an Iranian MP.
Bessent said he is working with Pakistan and Turkey to cut off Iran's land routes. Sealing Iran off is now cutting household fuel to its neighbours.
On October 21, Washington accused Canadian politicians of interfering in U.S. politics. A day later, @MarkJCarney launched a strategic partnership with Türkiye covering trade, defence, energy, migration & extradition.
Parallelely Canada–India agreement being advanced by @CanadaTrade & @PiyushGoyal.
Ottawa is finally practising the multi-alignment it has often struggled to understand in New Delhi however Türkiye shows that diversification is not automatically sound strategy.
Canada urgently needs alternatives to the United States. India already negotiates across Washington, Ottawa, Moscow & the Gulf. That gives India greater leverage & the luxury of judging partners not only by what they offer, but by the security risks & geopolitical baggage they carry.
CEPA could provide economic insurance for Canada. But diversification without safeguards can exchange one dependency for a different vulnerability.
Please don’t sit out your municipal election.
City hall decisions shape the life we actually live every day: roads, transit, housing, policing, parks, property taxe & neighbourhood services.
Putting your name on a ballot takes courage. Candidates give up months of time, money & family life to offer us a choice. They have stepped forward. Now we must show up.
Study the candidates. Ask questions. And please VOTE.

A te**orist attack on a Hindu mandir was thwarted, thanks to the Palatine Police.
The 19-year-old white supremacist kid said he ‘couldn’t wait to kill Indian people’. His manifesto described Indians, Jews and Black people as ‘subhumans’.
This is anti-Hindu hate & a te**or plot targeting Hindus.
Anti-Hindu hate is spreading online & spilling into the real world. Social media platforms profit from dehumanization. Politicians amplify it or look away, as confronting it comes at a political cost.
Dehumanization is not harmless rhetoric. The consequences can be deadly.

I’ll be speaking at this event because public safety in Canada deserves far more attention than it gets.
We need to confront extremist networks, organized crime & narco-trafficking with serious discussions & real action. Canadians deserve to feel safe, & political correctness should not stand in the way.

Who propped up/ provoked Ukraine to start the war? And who is really loosing here?
Did Russia not say it does not need NATO (US Military) on its borders?
Diversification should not come at a cost of importing danger.
Canada is rushing into deeper defence ties with Erdoğan’s Türkiye, a government with neo-Ottoman ambitions & a record of accommodating extremist networks.
U.S. authorities have also repeatedly identified Türkiye-based Hamas financiers & front charities. Canada as well lists Türkiye as a potential destination for terrorism-related funds originating here & has listed PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party) as a terr0rist organization.
NATO membership does not erase the risk.
