Canada PM Justin Trudeau To Quit As Liberal Leader: Sources To The Globe And Mail

The Khalistan movement gained international attention ever since the India-Canada row escalated due to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's support for the separatists designated as terrorists by India.&nbsp;
Trudeau's soft stance on the Khalistani activists has brought up new challenges for Canada's relations with India.
The Khalistani activists, seeking a separate state for Sikhs, have been launching attacks and issuing threats to Indian leaders and ministers as well as Hindu temples in both countries.&nbsp;
All this began when the Canadian PM alleged India's role in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. India responded strongly and denied any involvement in the issue.
<h2>Series of attacks by Khalistani terrorists in 2024</h2>
<h3>Hindu temple in California defaced</h3>
A Hindu temple in Hayward, California, was defaced with pro-Khalistan graffiti in January this year. The Hindu American Foundation reported that the Sherawali temple was defaced.&nbsp;
This came two weeks after the Swaminarayan temple in Newark, California, was defaced by anti-India graffiti.&nbsp;
<h3>Chants of pro-Khalistan slogans in Canada</h3>
In April, during the Khalsa Day celebrations, loud chants of pro-Khalistan slogans were heard in the presence of the Canadian PM. As soon as he was about to take the stage for an address, the chants were heard getting louder.&nbsp;
At the Khalsa Day Celebrations in Toronto, slogans of "Khalistan Zindabad" were heard at the event, in which NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow were also present.
Later in May, India's Ministry of External Affairs condemned the slogans during the public event attended by Canadian leaders and stressed that this shows the kind of political space that has been given in Canada to separatism, extremism, and violence.

In July, India's Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) extended the ban on SFJ and again declared it an unlawful association for a further period of five years from July 10, 2024.
<h3>Slogans heard at Golden Temple on Operation Blue Star anniversary</h3>

Identified as Gurvinder Singh (25), Virender Singh alias Ravi (23), and Jaspreet Singh alias Pratap Singh (18), they were members of Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF), a banned terror group.&nbsp;
In October this year, the Canadian PM accused the Indian government of making a "fundamental error" by supporting criminal activities in Canada.
"The Indian government made a fundamental error in thinking that they could engage in supporting criminal activities against Canadians, here on Canadian soil, be it murder or extortion. This is absolutely unacceptable," Trudeau claimed.
He further said that Canada is committed to working with India despite the tensions.&nbsp;

Canada has announced significant changes to its Express Entry system that may result in new challenges for Indian job seekers. The changes are expected to go into effect in the spring of 2025.
According to the statement issued by the Canadian government, candidates applying for permanent residency (PR) will no longer get additional points for their job offers. The move is introduced to help curb fraudulent immigration.
&ldquo;We are taking important steps to reduce fraud while continuing to attract the skilled talent our economy needs,&rdquo; said Marc Miller, Canada's Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship.&nbsp;

&ldquo;Immigration has always been a cornerstone of Canada's success, and we remain committed to welcoming the best and brightest to Canada so that everyone has access to the quality jobs, homes and supports they need to thrive,&rdquo; he added.
<h2>What is Canada&rsquo;s Express Entry system?</h2>
The Canadian government allows skilled workers to apply for PR through online applications. Under the current Express Entry system, applicants having job offers can earn an additional 50 or even 200 points in the comprehensive ranking system (CRS), helping them secure PR more easily.

<h2>How will the change impact applicants?</h2>
If the CRS points are removed, candidates pursuing Canadian PR through the Express Entry system will not get an advantage even if they have a job offer, including those who are presently working in the country temporarily.
&ldquo;Once the change is introduced, it will apply to all candidates with job offers in the pool as well as new candidates entering the pool,&rdquo; the government said.&nbsp;&nbsp;
However, the new rules will not be applicable to those who have already been invited to apply for PR with a CRS score, including jobs and those whose applications for PR to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) are currently under process.

His comments have sparked discussions, especially given the ongoing tensions over trade and tariffs between the US and Canada.

Canada's immigration restrictions, a two-month sales tax exemption, prospective US tariffs, and the uncertainty around Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's future may influence the gdp and inflation prospects in the coming months.
