🗣 Canada has been an extremist safe haven for decades

"The Canadians took in lots of these Khalistanis. Essentially the Canadians gave shelter to terrorists and criminals who had been wanted in India. And India gave Canada lots of evidence that these people were wanted in India, that they have committed crimes in India. But the Canadian government always turned a blind eye to what happened. In 1982, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi visited Canada and she spoke to Pierre Trudeau, the father of Justin, and she requested the Canadian government to hand over some terrorists. And she presented the evidence as to why we wanted them. But Trudeau refused to do that," Abhijit Chavda, Indian geopolitical analyst, told Sputnik.

🇬🇧 UK on track for biggest tax hike since WWII, according to a think tank

At the last general election in December 2019, tax revenues accounted for some 33% of national income. They are now on track to rise to 37% under Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt's reign at the treasury, the London-based economics research institute estimated.

"The government may decide to announce tax cuts in the run-up to the next election. But there is no world in which this parliament – or indeed the period since Rishi Sunak became Prime Minister – turns out to be anything other than a tax-raising one. In fact, it is currently on track to be the biggest tax-increasing parliament since comparable records began," the report said.

🗣️ On the truth that Canadian leaders deny about the Nazi history of Ukraine:

“The Canadians have this special role and they have like the US and like the collective West has been denying this history. But it all blew up in their faces when, for reasons known only to themselves, when President Zelensky visited Canada and he addressed Parliament, and it should have been an ordinary thing, he stands up, they applaud, they say 'We're with Ukraine forever, we'll never give in to Putin,' etc., etc.. That's all they had to do. But somebody said 'Let's find an old Ukrainian Nazi and bring him to the floor of parliament.' And he was introduced as someone who fought the Russians during World War Two. Well, in Ukraine, that means Nazi. Period. The end,” Margaret Kimberley, editor and senior columnist, told Sputnik.
