A popular and well-connected Indian media personality is ominously predicting that India will interfere in Canada’s upcoming federal election in 2025, and he says right-wing parties and think tanks in Canada need financial and political support.

In a video posted a few months ago on a YouTube channel run by Gaurav Arya, a retired Major with the Indian Army turned right-wing media personality, Arya suggested India will take direct and indirect steps to remove Justin Trudeau from power.

“India will put all their pressure, whether indirectly or directly, so Justin Trudeau’s government will fall and another government will come,” Arya said in a May 8, 2024 video on Arya’s YouTube talk channel called “Majorly Right.”

“In Canada, the think tanks and the right-wing parties will need to be supported, because there are a lot of right-wing parties in Canada,” Arya added .“They will be supported, either financially, politically or diplomatically.”

My good sir, do not forget right wingers have a tendency to “judge” people by the amount of melanin. While I myself don’t care (skin colour is a bad indicator of niceness), Canadian right wingers are pretty probably not the type you’d want to associate with, and it’s likely the other way around too.

Yes and no. Do not underestimate a) the amount of people who will vote for the leopards-eating-faces party, b) the number of people who will debase themselves for power, and c) the starry-eyed optimists who want to be the change the want to see.
