The Rise of Sikh Influence in Canada: A Brief Explanation

Sikhs have a significant presence and influence in Canada, with their population doubling in the last 20 years. They have made substantial contributions to various sectors, including construction, transport, and banking, and many own successful businesses. The Sikh community's success can be attributed to their networking through gurdwaras and their ability to collect grants for funding election campaigns. With 18 Sikh MPs in Canada, including eight seats completely controlled by Sikhs, political parties are cautious not to displease the community.
