'Neither Hindus nor Sikhs are happy, support of Muslims has also decreased…' Trudeau in tension due to pre-election survey in Canada

India Canada News : Elections may be held in Canada in October next year. However, a previously announced poll result has heightened tensions between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party. There are indications that Canadian Hindus are not only unhappy with the Trudeau government, but the majority of voters from the Sikh community are also not in favor of voting for him.

Are Muslims also not supporting Trudeau?

There are claims that Canada's Hindu and Sikh communities will vote for the Conservative Party in large numbers. Meanwhile, the survey has also revealed that Trudeau's party has also lost the support of Muslims and Jews on a large scale. Muslim and Jewish support also seems to be slipping from the hands of the Trudeau government, which is trying to balance the issues of Gaza and Israel. It is reported that 41 percent Muslims are supporting the New Democratic Party or NDP. Whereas this figure in support of liberals is 31 percent. Here, Jews living in Canada also have 42 percent support. The special thing is that the Conservatives are getting 15 percent support from Muslims living in Canada.

What do the figures say?

A recent survey released by the Angus Reid Institute (ARI) said that 53 percent of Hindus support the conservatives. Whereas in the case of Sikh community it is one point more. In contrast, Trudeau's party Liberals have the support of only 22 per cent of Hindus and 21 per cent of Sikhs. It is being said that the attraction of these communities towards conservatives is increasing, which can prove to be very important. One reason for this is that people of this community are considered a big votebank in the Greater Toronto Area, Metro Vancouver and Calgary and it can prove to be very important in the upcoming elections.

What do the figures say in terms of population?

According to Statistics Canada's 2022 report, there were 830,000 Hindus in the country in the 2021 census. This is about 2.3 percent of the total population. The special thing is that this number has more than doubled in the last 20 years. Similarly, the population of Sikhs is 7 lakh 70 thousand and the population has doubled in 20 years.
