Religious Freedom: Stephen Harper

Sikhs Dept: Every time Harper emphasized a point, bearded, turbaned men clapped and let out a low drone in unison all orchestrated by the party that not long ago was seen as unfriendly to core Sikh Canadian issues such as immigration and religious freedom, according to The Star. The Conservatives are working for us now, explains truck driver Harvinder Singh. They cut immigration fees, he says, referring to the right of landing fee, which the Tories reduced in 2006 to $490 from $975 and when Stephen Harper kicked off his election campaign on a Sunday morning in Brampton, with Sikhs flanking him on both sides for a national news audience, the scene seemed straight out of an old Liberal play book. There s been little attention to why members of the Sikh community have begun crossing over from the Liberal camp they helped prop up for decades. As reported in the news.
