The Deets
Aight, so Canada just had their elections and the results are kinda wild. 22 candidates with Punjab roots snatched W's in the House of Commons. That's a slight bump from the previous elections, so their influence lowkey growing.
It's not just one party either, both the Liberals (12) and Conservatives (10) got Punjabi representation. They were vibin' all across Canada, from coast to coast.
But here's where it gets messy. Jagmeet Singh, leader of the NDP, took an L and lost his seat, plus, Kamal Khera from PM Mark Carney's cabinet also got yeeted. On the flip side, legends like Anita Anand and Bardish Chagger held it down, and Tim Uppal plus Sukh Dhaliwal bounced back. Amarjeet Sohi was also a G.
Word on the street is that Mark Carney is gonna hold it down at his post as prime minister, after replacing the previous PM (Trudeau).
So, what's the takeaway? Punjabi Canadians are stepping up in politics, no cap, but the game is still the game. Political landscape is wild, fr fr.
