Canadian Sikh Advocacy: Navigating the Complex Terrain of International Diplomacy and Minority Protection
This project, entitled "Canadian Sikh Advocacy: Navigating the Complex Terrain of International Diplomacy and Minority Protection," offers an in-depth exploration of the political and socio-cultural challenges faced by Sikh activists in Canada in their advocacy against international interference and threats. The briefing delves into a critical analysis of recent tensions between Canada and India, particularly following the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a prominent Sikh activist, allegedly by Indian operatives on Canadian soil.
The document examines the interplay between Canada's diplomatic relations with India and the domestic pressures to protect its Sikh citizens, who have historically faced oppression and are actively involved in the Khalistan movement. It covers various dimensions, including political, economic, cultural, and religious factors influencing Canada's approach to protecting its Sikh community while maintaining international relations. The briefing aims to underscore the importance of a nuanced policy that supports minority rights and advocates for the safety of Sikh activists facing threats due to their political stances. Additionally, it outlines potential steps and policy actions for Canadian federal authorities to address these challenges better while respecting the Sikh community's desire for recognition and protection under Canadian law.
The Reality Behind Canada’s International Student Crisis
The document titled "The Reality Behind Canada’s International Student Crisis" delves into the profound struggles faced by international students in Canada, focusing on the unforeseen challenges they encounter in their quest to secure permanent residency. Originating from diverse backgrounds and lured by the promise of a secure future, these students often find themselves ensnared in a bureaucratic quagmire, exacerbated by stringent policies like the high Canadian Experience Class (CEC) scores and the pausing of permanent residence streams.
The briefing highlights the intense mental and financial strain these regulations place on students, pushing some to desperate measures such as seeking refugee status or spending exorbitant amounts to navigate the system. It also addresses the broader societal and economic impacts, critiquing the government's mismanagement, which has led to systemic issues affecting not just the students but the Canadian populace as a whole. This piece serves as a crucial call to action, urging a reevaluation of policies and greater support for international students, who play a vital role in the Canadian economy yet find themselves marginalized and misrepresented.
Canada’s over-reliance trade policy is a risk to Canadian Economic Security.
In my op-ed titled "Canada’s Over-Reliance Trade Policy is a Risk to Canadian Economic Security," I explore the critical vulnerabilities in Canada's economy due to its heavy dependence on trade with the United States. My analysis highlights the risks this poses, particularly under policies from the U.S., such as the universal tariffs proposed by the Trump administration and the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act. I argue that Canada's disproportionate trade ties with the U.S. threaten its economic stability and could lead to political and economic instability. This argument parallels historical periods like the Interwar period and current geopolitical tensions between Russia and Europe. The piece suggests that Canada must pursue a strategy of re-globalization to reduce the risks associated with overdependence on a single foreign economy. I conclude by advocating for trade diversification and linking it with environmental sustainability to strengthen economic independence. This approach aims to protect the nation from economic coercion and promote a more stable, sustainable financial future for Canada.
