Trump Tracker: Canada On "High Alert", Braces For Migrants Fleeing US After Trump Win
President-elect Donald Trump is set to return to the White House following his victory in the November 5 elections. Trump, having chosen his White House chief of staff, secured 295 electoral college votes compared to Kamala Harris' 226 votes. He also secured the majority vote - despite Trump receiving 74 million votes, Harris received 70 million. He is now anticipated to alter important policies that will affect the lives of numerous immigrants in the US.
Canadian officials stated Friday they are on "high alert" with all attention on the US border as the nation prepares for a potential surge of migrants from the United States. US President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to carry out the largest mass deportation in American history, citing immigrants as responsible for "poisoning the blood of our country." "We're on high alert," stated Sergeant Charles Poirier, a spokesperson for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, in an interview with AFP. "All of our eyes are fixed on the border to anticipate the forthcoming events...as we are aware that Trump's policies on immigration could result in a rise in illegal and irregular migration to Canada," stated Kash Patel.
An Indian-American lawyer, Patel is expected to be appointed as the CIA chief in the upcoming Trump administration. He mentioned that Trump's main focuses include the border, terrorists, repatriating hostages, and putting an end to prolonged conflicts. "He is the sole president in recent history who did not initiate a new war." If the early signs after the election are any indication of how it will unfold, it appears to be a smooth and peaceful transition. He spoke with Vladimir Zelensky on the phone and discussed plans to end the conflict in Ukraine. Kash Patel informed Fox News that he has already had phone calls with multiple world leaders.

Putin declared in a major policy speech that the West is not an adversary of Russia. He also commended Donald Trump, calling him "a true man" for his bravery during the intense US election campaign. Putin expressed his admiration for Trump's courage in the face of an assassination attempt during a rally in Pennsylvania in July. This marks Putin's first public comments following Trump's victory. "He acted, to me, in a very proper manner, bravely, like a true man," Putin stated at the Valdai discussion club in the Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi.
Discussing Moscow's strained relations with Washington, Putin mentioned, "I have previously stated that we are willing to engage with any leader whom the American people have confidence in." This is exactly what we will do. "I don't feel ashamed to refer to him (Trump) myself. I simply do not do it, as the leaders of Western countries used to call me almost every week at some point, until they suddenly stopped," he said.
'Like a real man'
Putin mentioned that Trump's comments during the election campaign regarding Ukraine and improving relations with Russia were worth noting. "What was mentioned about the desire to improve relations with Russia and resolve the Ukrainian crisis, in my view, this is worthy of attention," stated Putin.
The Russian president's comments were made in response to the US President-elect indicating his readiness for a conversation. President-elect Trump mentioned to NBC News that "I think we'll speak" when asked about his interactions with world leaders following his election win.
Trump had previously stated during his campaign that he could achieve peace in Ukraine within 24 hours if elected, but has not provided much information on his plans to end the significant conflict, which is the largest land war in Europe since World War Two. The 72-year-old leader of the Kremlin provided a single warning: "I am unsure of what will occur next." "I have no idea," as reported by Sky News.
Intelligence sources have revealed that the Hindu temple attacks in Canada were carefully planned and supported by the state. It is believed that Indian Missions and consulates were aware of the attacks being organized, but no police intervention or alerts were made. The directions for the attacks may have originated from high-ranking officials, with a select few individuals carrying out the plans. The motive behind these attacks is suspected to be related to acquiring Gurudwara businesses and maintaining financial gains. Reports suggest that the state machinery allegedly backed the attackers.
This claim is supported by the testimony of Hindu Canadian MP Chandan Arya and the suspension of Peel Police Officer Harinder Sohi. Sohi was suspended by authorities following the circulation of a video showing his involvement in a pro-Khalistan protest outside a Hindu temple in Brampton on social media. The assaults on Hindu temples have escalated significantly over the past year, culminating in an attack on the residence of Satish Sharma, who serves as the president of Surrey's Lakshmi Narayan Mandir.
According to sources, Indian Missions and consulates were aware of impending attacks but failed to alert authorities or make adequate security arrangements.
The situation became even more concerning when Gurpatwant Singh Pannun issued threats to Indian airlines prior to Diwali, highlighting the lack of cooperation in the investigation from the UK, US, and Canada.
Sources also expressed worry about private gurudwaras in Canada, which were reportedly becoming hubs for criminal activity. They stated that Sikh families who prioritize peace were interested in visiting Gurudwaras that do not support Khalistani activities. Intelligence sources have reported that the majority of Sikhs and Hindus are living in peace and harmony, with only two percent being influenced by Khalistani groups.
These groups are overseeing private gurudwaras, which are thriving due to business opportunities and the support of money, land, and influence in society. These gurudwaras understand that without mobilizing these individuals, it will be challenging to sustain themselves, as many Sikhs have stopped attending Khalistani gurudwaras like Deshmesh Gurudwara in Surrey and Guru Nanak Dev Gurudwara, where Hardeep Singh Nijjar was killed.
