Canada-based non-profit Hindu Canadian Foundation (HCF) voiced strong support for Prime Minister Mark Carney’s push to rebuild Canada’s relationship with India.
Describing the effort as a necessary step toward strengthening economic and strategic cooperation between the two countries, the foundation, which represents approximately 1.5 million Hindus in Canada, characterized the initiative as a “great step” that aligns with long-term mutual interests.

In a post on X, the organization welcomed Carney’s stated goal of doubling bilateral trade, attracting major new investment, and expanding partnerships in energy, talent, and artificial intelligence. The statement framed improved ties as both economically practical and culturally significant for the diaspora community.
As Hindus, our roots are connected to India. There are ~1.5 million Hindus living in Canada. In today’s globalized world, no country can benefit from having sour relations with another , especially when one of Asia’s most economically stable and strong nations is India.

HCF also addressed domestic political dynamics, asserting that external pressures have at times influenced Canadian policy. “Canada is unfortunately one of the few countries where external forces like Khalistani extremists, based in Canada, (#CBKE - Canada Based Khalistani Extremists) attempt to influence foreign policy via their deep influence on a few politicians, media houses etc.,” the post stated.
The group praised Carney for what it described as prioritizing national interests over such pressures. “As Canadians, we are proud that Prime Minister Mark Carney is not bowing down to such extremist pressures and doing what is right for every Canadian,” the statement added.
The support comes after a prolonged period of diplomatic strain between Canada and India, during which bilateral engagement slowed amid allegations tied to extremism and foreign interference.
