Hindu Forum Canada (HFC) proudly supports the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) and its leader Maxime Bernier due to their firm and principled stance on issues that deeply align with our vision for a strong, united, and peaceful Canada.
- No Pandering to Ethnic Groups:
The PPC has made it clear that it refuses to pander to specific ethnic or religious groups for votes—a trend all too common in Canadian politics. This principled approach ensures that religion is not weaponized for political gain, which often leads to division, mistrust, and community discord. HFC values this commitment because it supports unity over identity-based politics, and prevents political exploitation of religious and cultural sentiments.
- Responsible and Controlled Immigration:
The PPC’s immigration policy is rooted in national interest, focusing on quality over quantity. HFC shares this concern, especially with the increasing pattern of foreign conflicts like Khalistan and Palestine being imported into Canadian society by bad-faith actors. Controlled immigration ensures that those entering the country are aligned with Canadian values, not with divisive or extremist ideologies.
- Preserving Traditional Canadian Values:
The PPC emphasizes the importance of preserving Canada’s foundational values—such as peace, mutual respect, personal responsibility, and the rule of law. As proud Canadians, Hindu Forum Canada believes these values are being diluted due to the unchecked spread of hostile or incompatible ideologies through immigration and political appeasement. Supporting PPC is a stand for preserving the cultural and civic principles enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
- Putting Canada First:
Unlike mainstream parties that often prioritize global or ideological interests, the PPC stands firmly for Canada’s best interests. For HFC, this is a refreshing and necessary shift. Too often, politicians compromise Canadian unity and security in pursuit of vote banks. Maxime Bernier and the PPC refuse to play that game. Their policies are built around safeguarding Canada’s future, not political survival.
🛡️ Thank you, @MaximeBernier, for being the only party leader in Canada who openly addresses #Khalistani extremism and holds extremists accountable without appeasement to any religious groups or minorities.

HFC’s Direct Engagement with Maxime Bernier and the PPC
Hindu Forum Canada’s support for the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) is not just based on policy alignment—it is built on genuine dialogue and shared commitment to safeguarding Canadian values. In a recent private meeting with PPC Leader Maxime Bernier and Michael Bator, HFC engaged in an in-depth discussion about the party’s long-term vision for Canada. This included key PPC beliefs that deeply resonate with HFC:
- Rejecting divisive identity politics that fragment Canadian society
- Restoring responsible, merit-based immigration policies that prioritize national unity and social cohesion
- Standing firmly against extremism, regardless of the group behind it
- Protecting Canadian values—freedom of expression, mutual respect, rule of law, and civic responsibility
- Ensuring leaders are honest and transparent about threats to Canada’s social fabric

Following this productive dialogue, HFC also facilitated a televised interview between Maxime Bernier and a Canadian news channel to address recent threats faced by the Hindu community. .
During the interview, Bernier openly condemned the November 3rd attack on Hindu deities in Brampton, criticizing the lack of courage shown by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre. While Trudeau issued a generic condemnation, he avoided mentioning Khalistani separatists—a fact Bernier did not shy away from addressing.
Bernier highlighted the dangerous political trend of silencing truth for the sake of identity-based vote banks, emphasizing that this unwillingness to name and confront extremism only emboldens radical elements. He stated that true leadership means informing Canadians honestly, even when it may not be politically convenient.
Mr. Maxime Bernier, you don’t engage in pandering, political appeasement, or identity politics. To win elections, it’s essential to incorporate a broad range of perspectives; otherwise, who will vote? This has been a longstanding tradition in Canada for decades.

He echoed a sentiment shared by many within the Hindu community:
“Support the country you live in—or live in the country that you support.”
For Bernier, this slogan encapsulates the PPC’s message—Canada is a nation that welcomes diversity, but demands unity under a common set of values.
