Ottawa, ON – The Hon. Pierre Poilievre, Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada and the Official Opposition, released the following statement on Diwali: 

“Today, more than one billion Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and Buddhists around the world come together to celebrate Diwali—the Festival of Lights!  

“As one of the world’s oldest festivals, the spirit of Diwali transcends borders and cultures. Its colourful Rangoli are put on display in homes across the world, including here in Canada, where our thriving South Asian community continues to pass down the time-honoured traditions carefully preserved for millenia. 

“As Canadians from all walks of life join in on these celebrations, Diwali reminds us of our shared values of faith, family and freedom. Together, we celebrate its enduring promise that, even in hard times, light will always triumph over darkness, knowledge will always trump ignorance, and good will always overcome evil.  

“To everyone celebrating, may your Diwali celebrations be filled with prayers, dances, fireworks and sweets, and may the light of the Diya encourage you for the days ahead. 

“On behalf of Canada’s Common Sense Conservatives, Happy Diwali!”
