Weren't Hindus supporting Trump of his anti-Muslim policies in 2016 a thing? Might've been a similar dynamic up here in Canada.
Not to hijack a thread which has had some interesting discussion, but Hindus supporting Trump was not a thing.
More on the point, is there a significant Indian Conservative population in Canada? From what I understand, he Tories do well with Chinese people, but my impression was also that Punjabis/Sikhs in BC were primarily NDP voters and that Toronto Indians were mainly Liberals.
