There are lots of people of Indian origin in Canada such that 19 have been elected to the parliament in the recent elections. Professor Vivek Dahejia of Carleton University in Canada finds a lot of similarity in the politics of Canada and India. Stephen Harper of the Conservative Party lost the elections to Justin Trudeau of the Liberal Party. Justin is the son of former Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau who wore a rose in his lapel, tightened government control over socialized medicine, restricted foreign investment, distanced Canada from the US and transferred the wealth of natural resources to the center. " Loved by writers and artists at home and abroad, he almost single-handedly managed to wreck Canada's economy." If the father was like Nehru then the son is like Rahul Gandhi, except that the Congress has ruled India for 56 out of 67 years since independence and Rahul Gandhi will be the fourth prime minister from the same family, if he manages to win. Harper was hated by Canada's liberals. " The visceral hatred felt by the liberal intelligentsia for the now departed Harper and the Conservatives is matched only by the analogous hatred of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and for similar reasons," writes Prof Dahejia. What crimes did both commit against the liberals? " Both leaders threatened the cosy hegemony of a supposedly liberal - in reality, self-serving, opportunistic, and at times explicitly venal - elite class tied umbilically over decades with a vast, interconnected, nepotistic, and crony-driven patronage network presided over by each country's self-presumed party of government - the Liberals in Canada and the Congress in India," he writes. Known as ' brokerage parties ' by political scientists, these are " without fixed principles or policies " which exploit " the power of the central state to bribe or bully incompatible constituencies to join together to share the spoils of government." So, the liberals hate Modi, not because of his policies, but because he has stopped the handouts the Congress was giving them. Modi refuses to take media persons with him when he travels abroad. Writers, most of whom have probably been read only by family and friends, have been returning their awards. All these liberals are regurgitating the western media attacks on Modi as a Hindu Nationalist because of a few hundred Muslims killed in riots in Gujarat in 2002, while supporting the killing of millions of Muslims by bombing and drones, sanctified by 'Christian Values'. One so called liberal has denied that liberals are anti-Hindu by listing all the times someone has spoken against other religious practices. Oh dear, such lies. Show us when there has been such vicious unrelenting attacks on any other group, over weeks, by every media outlet, as recently mounted on Hindus. How the liberals have been bribed has been exposed by another article bemoaning the silence of university professors who have been bribed with fellowships to travel abroad. So, which liberal to believe?
