Another Canadian expat, Maaz Abdur Rahman, feels Trudeau and his party have done “a great job” over the years — from immigration to housing and the handling of the pandemic.

“It’s a good opportunity for people to come out and vote. My relatives and I have been holding discussions about this over the phone and we all feel the Liberals did a great job…It’s been quite impressive. I also feel Trudeau is also very confident and is sure about winning it. That’s why he called for the elections early,” said Rahman, who works in Dubai as commercial director for Cleantech Gulf.

He added that the Conservative Party’s plans “do not seem people-friendly”.

“I feel Trudeau and his party are better at seeing the bigger picture, which works both in people and the government’s favour. The candidate from the National Democratic Party (NDP) is also not bad.

“In my mind, a few areas that need work or greater reform is perhaps control on the housing market or real estate sector, which is a bit volatile currently. The employment rate has to increase and there needs to be a greater push for creating opportunities for white-collar jobs as lots of people from developing countries migrate to Canada.”
