Mr Jinnah
envisioned Pakistan to be a democracy, not a theocracy. He said, “In any case
Pakistan is not going to be a theocratic State to be ruled by priests [mullahs]
with a divine mission. We have many non-Muslims including Hindus, Christians,
and Parsees, but they are all Pakistanis.”

Crazy State of Real Estate Market in Toronto (GTA)
The red hot market in Toronto and the vicinity continues to nourish the greedy mentality for profiteering; this really hurts those who are in need of owning a roof over their heads.
Almost all other provinces are already in a slowdown mode mainly for correctional adjustment.
Good news and bad news: The red hot market helped the rich become richer but hurt the first time home buyers by ousting them from the market altogether.
Factors leading to rising prices: The laundered foreign money kept on flooding into the Canadian real estate market, hence no inventory remains to be grabbed. In economics it’s a case of supply and demand.
Greed, by its nature, never ends; it makes you strive even harder for more.
No doubt, housing shortage is occurring due to the increase in population of the immigrants. The heavy influx of refugees made it worse.
Buying and maintaining a dwelling in Toronto and the vicinity is out of question for the mediocre and the poor. The qualification criterion has changed immensely. This means buying property in GTA is a dream never coming true for the unfortunate ones who are in majority. Affordability has diminished to a great extent while in a majority of the cases it’s just a memory.
According to estimates by some experts, Toronto home prices have shot up 113 percent since early 2009, while Canadian prices as a whole have jumped 65 percent.
Making Vancouver real estate market available to wealthy Chinese was a way too much as it created more ghost towns. Those houses are not occupied. That resulted in a lesser tax collection due to the said ongoing emptiness.
The property prices in Vancouver are already on ‘a downward-trend’, however, there are stable prices in some cases depending on the location. This happened after the province of British Columbia imposed a 15 percent tax on foreign buyers in that city last August, mostly targeting people from mainland China.
Ontario will soon impose a tax on Toronto properties too, but the premier believes the stable prices will protect the current owners from losing home-values. Nevertheless, Ontario Finance Minister Charles Sousa urged the federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau to consider raising capital gains taxes, among other measures, to rein in speculation.
Fact is Ottawa has repeatedly tightened mortgage lending rules including qualification of the potential mortgage applicant in the past to avoid a housing bubble, but the boiling Toronto market continues to go like crazy.
Now the national market has cooled off, therefore, the developers and other market observers expect the next move from the Ontario government, or perhaps the city of Toronto.
The unethical practices of the regulated professionals are really problematic: The real-estate agents/brokers (mafia) tend to post a listing for an asking price and then encourage a bidding war, this results in attracting a large number of bidders. This leads to an over asking price scenario at the end of the day - unfairly. This becomes an auction style activity which amounts to nothing but cheating.
The culture of multiple offers is against the set procedure, but the agents are involved. They should be held responsible for the activity. All involved will have to face the music when time comes. A ruling from the B.C. Supreme Court is a stark warning about the dangers of buying Canadian real estate from foreign owners. The landmark B.C. Supreme Court verdict has already sent shock waves to the Canadian real-estate market which is all due to foreign investment.
The court took notice of a flaw/loop hole in Canadian laws that often leads foreign owners of real estate in cities such as Metro Vancouver and Toronto to claim they are “residents of Canada for tax purposes” when they are not.
The landmark B.C. decision requires notary public Tony Liu to pay his client more than $600,000 because Liu failed to adequately determine whether the Vancouver house his client was buying for $5.5 million had been owned by a tax resident of Canada. Consequently, the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) did not get paid, at the time of the sale, the twenty five per cent capital gains tax it charges the non-resident sellers of Canadian property on any profit they make on the sale.
The CRA later demanded the buyer pay the $600,000 in tax. The buyer, in turn, sued Liu, arguing Liu failed to discover the seller was not a tax resident of Canada. The CRA considers people who don’t live in the country at least six months a year and don’t pay income taxes here to be foreign property investors and speculators and thus subject to capital gains taxes. http://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/house-buyer-beware-landmark-b-c-court-ruling-will-shake-real-estate-industry
This ruling has definitely put brakes on the Vancouver market.
People who watch the Toronto market closely say that makes sense, arguing that foreign buyers are a limited factor in driving up local prices. They're pointing to a different, home-grown source of the surge in demand: investors who are buying houses not as a place to live, but as a place to grow their money.
The craze has thrust many would-be investors into a market with a limited housing supply, where they compete with people who want to buy a home to live in, bidding up prices. (Wynne 'looking at all options') CBC News asked the Ontario premier if she is ruling out a foreign-buyers tax for the GTA. She replied, "B.C. has put in place a particular mechanism, we are not going to use that mechanism." Wynne said the "heart of the problem," she wants to tackle is affordability for first-time homebuyers. So, can the provincial government do anything to dampen the effect of investors driving up house prices? Premier Kathleen Wynne says Ontario and Toronto are 'not going to go down the road that British Columbia has gone because it is a different market.' (Chris Young/Canadian Press) "That is a question I have asked," said Wynne. "I don't know whether there's anything that we can do. We're looking at all the options." Wynne says she wants to avoid making any moves that would significantly hurt the value of the homes that people already own.
As the qualifying for getting a mortgage loan has become harder, the government has to take some drastic measures to help all for an appropriate accommodation either through encouraging a rental mentality or providing a cheaper home to enhance buying ability. In other words, there must be a housing programme that builds good affordable accommodation to suit the needs of needy families.

Pakistan Begins its Long Overdue Census
Census
is done to find out the true population of Pakistan including all provinces -
not for the benefit of the politicians but for other national & local
requirements.
First census in Pakistan was conducted
in 1951, the second in 1961 while the third census was held in 1972. The fourth
census was held in March 1981 and fifth one was held in March, 1998. Currently, the sixth census is already underway with a
time frame (between March 15-May 25 2017).
For the first time in
the history of Pakistan, transgender community has been included in the
national population census under instruction of Lahore High Court (LHC).
The
government is also planning on counting the number of people who suffer from
disabilities, and even important metrics like the number of toilets in a
household.
The
census form has been so designed as to collect more information on important
matters like infant mortality and the prevalence of disease but researchers
from both the government and academia can at least use the census as a baseline
to carry out further research. This census is going to be used for at least the
next 10 years for every public policy decision.
Unfortunately,
the politicians are habitual of complicating things to make them controversial for
political scoring. Be it KB dam or CPEC, they tend to play games by using ethnic
cards and regional slogans to carry out their dirty political agendas.
Bad example: In the
last 1998 census, the rural Sindhi population was highly inflated causing
Karachi's population to be lower percentage of the total Sind population. Fear
is the ruling elite (the vested interests) in Sindh and Baluchistan will again
attempt to inflate the population of Sindhis and Balochis and undercount the Pakhtuns
and the Urdu speakers.
Furthermore, the census will provide
an insight into the true number of religious minorities, especially Christians
and Hindus. Estimates are approximate and disputed, ranging from 2 to 10
million for the former and 2.5 to 4.5 million for the latter.
Nationality option: The census gives
two nationality options: Pakistani or foreign.
Language option: Only nine languages
among the country’s regional languages have been included in the form.
Expats excluded: Sadly, the estimated six million Pakistanis working abroad will not be counted.
Expats excluded: Sadly, the estimated six million Pakistanis working abroad will not be counted.
Price
tag: The census will cost nearly Rs20 billion and require the use of over
300,000 civilian staff and military personnel.
Other
issues: Now that the census forms have been released, there are some worries
about the information the government intends to collect. Afghan refugees will
be counted separately and, given the current climate of hostility towards them,
they are fearful that giving this information to the government may lead to
their being rounded up leading to their deportation. https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/192098-So-it-begins
......
Additionally, all those who are
unable to prove their citizenship status will be counted as aliens, which could
disenfranchise the millions of Pakistanis who do not have a CNIC. However, old
shanaakhti cards, old passport or any official ID will be accepted. (As per the finance minister on
TV)
Problem
in the past: In previous census exercises in the country, this had been a
particularly strong sticking point since both Sindh and Punjab have difficulty
in acknowledging the number of migrants settled in their respective areas of
jurisdiction.
This
time it is crucial that the census reflect a realistic picture of how the
demographic balance has changed in each province since the last count was held
in 1998.
The
data gathered by the enumerators will be used for a wide variety of purposes
that go far beyond seat shares in parliament and the NFC award. This is our
chance to get a clearer picture of the demographic balance, as well as of
urbanisation trends in the country. The data can be used by law enforcement as
well as local governments — for example when deciding shares in district
finance commission awards.
For
so many reasons that have little to do with politics, the quality of the data
must stand above reproach and suspicion, and with the start of the exercise,
the burden of ensuring that rests more than ever on the shoulders of those
tasked with overseeing the operation.
Transparency
is the biggest support they will have in ensuring a credible outcome. In the
past, suspicions have been raised as a result of the quality of analyses done
on the census information, so it would be an idea for the authorities to
release the data quickly and make it accessible to multiple research
communities simultaneously.
An important aspect of the
census process is to evaluate the quality of the data.[8] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Census
·
As per the United
Nations estimate, the current population of Pakistan is 195,546,912, which
is equivalent to 2.62% of the total world
population.
·
Pakistan ranks number 6 in the list
of countries
(and dependencies) by population.
The population density in Pakistan is 255 per Km2 (661 people per mi2).
·
The total land area is 770,998 Km2
(297,684 sq. miles)
·
39.2 % of the population is urban (77,107,125 people in 2017)
·
The median age in Pakistan is 22.7 years. (http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/pakistan-population/)
One must understand there is no authenticity without credible
data. The real key is raising awareness
among people of its urgent need and their responsibility to cooperate. The authorities must do everything to ensure that the results are
credible and not marred by allegations of being manipulated.

Print Media’s Uniqueness is its lifeline
Print media’s main contribution is through
keeping people updated about the latest news on topics such as politics,
economics, sports, agriculture, forest, fishers, stock market and weather
update etc. Newspapers, however, continue to face challenges and competition in
their role as bearers of news in the information technology age. Despite the
challenges, newspapers are doing excellent work through performing the job of
giving the people what they want to know with clarity. In other words,
newspapers are committed to operate in the public interest.
This “time sensitive print media” is the oldest
form of mass communication. It comes in a wide variety of options. The most
commonly circulated forms are newspapers, magazines and fliers. The content of
the pieces varies, and the products are distributed using different timelines
and in different amounts.
The content communicates the
news, the retail sales or whatever message the sender is trying to covey to the
intended audience. However, its effect of advertisement is purely based on its
content.
No doubt, it still is one
of the strongest medium of mass communication.
But, the internet
revolution has adversely affected newspaper-reading, hence, keeping it under
extreme pressure from electronic competition.
Yes, it’s true that the
digital age is going too far too fast and is able to attract a large number of
internet and social media users resulting in a decreased-audience for the print
media unfortunately. But if Print can survive the Radio & TV, it’s likely
to survive the digital age too.
A large majority of the
older folks is still interested in enjoying benefit of print media for its
tangibility . In other words the hard copy is palpable.
Looking closely, one
notices that with the rise of smart phones, tablets, and internet data access,
much of digital content distribution and viewing cost keeps shifting to the end
consumer whereas in most print these costs are still borne by the publisher and
marketer.
Types of print media: A weekly is published once a week and a monthly
once a month. A fortnightly is published once in two weeks. A bi-weekly is
published every two weeks. A tri-monthly is one which is published every three
months. These are also known as quarterlies. Then there are certain
publications that come out only once a year which are called annuals.
Admittedly, preparation of printing is difficult
and time consuming. Due to this very factor, the print media has become a less attractive
source of information over the years. Products are to be designed; the text
needs be written and thoroughly checked for errors before it’s printed. Once
the copies are printed, they are posted for mail delivery, dropped off at
newsstands for purchase or delivered to offices as well as to the readers’
residences.
Problem with the newspaper is its limited-validity (on
daily basis) based on its freshness as it has to be read on the same day. No
one wants a day old paper.
Other problem:
Frequency of distribution is a key characteristic of print media. Some
publications that contain time-sensitive information such as newspapers and
magazines can be distributed daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and even
annually. Other media such as newsletters, booklets and pamphlets can be
distributed as needed for individuals to pick up at their own discretion.
Advantages: Print media is a type of communication that
comes in many forms. Messages can be sent out and printed on fliers, in
newspapers, billboards and magazines. Once the pieces are printed, they are
distributed to their proper audience. The communication can be used to send the
updated information on promotions or news or events without bias. From a
business perspective: Things have shifted, mass-media has shifted to digital
and printing companies cannot dwell on things that worked in the past. Print
marketing is the new non-traditional media. The rarity and physicality of print
is making a comeback with consumers who are tired of online ads. Increasing the
return of investment (ROI): There are a couple of ways one
can use print to increase ROI. http://homebusinessmag.com/marketing/advertising/increase-roi-print-media/-------Not only is ROI better, but print advertising
still shows promise for non-profits, small businesses and more.
(www.cgtmarketingllc.com); it illustrates some more information about the
benefits still being seen by Print Ads despite the industry-wide push for a
more digital focus.
If print is made available to advertising media,
then return on investment (ROI) is bound to flourish. . Research has shown that
adding print to the advertising media mix will increase the ROI of the overall campaign. Print media will also enhance
the ROI of TV or online in the mix.
Truly speaking, the effective marketing campaign works
excellently when print is used with other media as one element of an integrated
solution. Despite the print being
under extreme pressure from electronic competition, people continue to be
addicted in enjoying the print. And, it will be very costly for advertiser to
market their product or brand every day on the newspaper.
Fact: Many print-based
media outlets offer deals to brands that tie sales of online ads to the print
version.
As some
area printing presses move their production lines outside of their local
businesses, reading population gets curious about the future of print-media,
however, newspaper businesses claim to be transitioning with the new age of
digital media.
Fact: Let’s not forget that newspaper circulation
has been varying from year to year, yet the ethnic newspapers continue to enjoy
a fairly good circulation especially for their being of multi lingual nature.
Having successfully completed 16 years, the
Bi-lingual Miracle News continues to remain as one of the best examples as paper in print.
However, for the convenience of its readership, the Miracle News is also
available online. The paper has been providing its intended audience with the
latest updated information regarding all relevant areas including the news
analysis, opinions and commercial Ads both in English and Urdu sections
respectively.
Quote: "Sometime in the future, we will discover
that paper is a miraculous product that enables communication and recycles back
to paper."

New-“World Disorder,” a State of Fear and Anger
There is a growing panic as President Donald Trump
is moving too fast too soon on his election promises. He closed the doors on
people from seven Muslim countries throwing the United States and the world
into chaos never seen before; it’s the worst kind of racism the world has ever
experienced. His executive order also includes extreme vetting of travellers from
Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Fear is Trump’s ban on Muslims will bring
back fascism into the so-called civilized age. Fact is Muslims have already
suffered the most because of terrorism against them.
Hate mongers are encouraged to carry out
terrorist-attacks on Muslims. Burning of a Mosque (Masjid) in Dallas shows how
much hate has been generated against the US Muslims - God forbid!
The
anticipated Registry of
the Muslim population in the US is also a cause of big concern.
Initial public reaction: Signing of executive
orders has received mixed signals from Americans and people from other
countries.
The
terrorist attack in Quebec: Canada has been considered a sanctuary for immigrants,
but mosque massacre has sent a different alarming message to other immigrant
communities. Unfortunately, an atmosphere of fear and animosity has taken over,
the mainstream politicians and the mainstream media are not sure how to respond
positively. . The Muslim worship houses are so vulnerable. Climate of Islamophobia
was tactfully cultivated a few years ago, which is overwhelmingly on the rise
now.
In
order to get ahead economically, the countries strategically bypass the level
playing field and get indulged in foul play instead. Dragging religion, arming
the created rebels is part of the dirty game. Hence, things tend to get uglier
and end up in a mess for all to suffer. Only big fish prevails. Sincerity
remains missing, so do fairness and justice to common man. Greed is to blame
for all ills. Islamophobia helps the dirty players. Seemingly, it’s a case of motivated
scenario for turning the whole World against Islam and its worshipers. Extremely
painful reality indeed! Six Muslim men in the mosque were killed and a few got
critically wounded after a 27-year-old white male (university student) went on
a shooting spree. The student, Alexandre
Bissonnette, was known for liking Donald Trump and for putting forward
anti-Muslim, racist and other highly bigoted views on his Face book page.
Thanks to Government of Canada and Quebec as
immediate action was initiated; charges have already been laid.
Irony is Trump continues justifying his
executive order by claiming that this would ban all ‘radical Islamic
terrorists’ from entering the U.S.
Trump misunderstands Islam, thus fails to
fully realize that there is no radical Islam; Islam teaches modesty and
moderation stressing the application of love for the Humankind.
Those who cross the limits and ignore
moderation are said to have committed a major sin for which they are fully
accountable. No Muslim is allowed to hurt others on the basis of creed, culture
or color.
A good leader believes in
diversity: Refugees get welcome jackets
from the Prime Minister Trudeau, but in Trump's America, they get handcuffs.
Amazing!
In his
twitter message: Justin Trudeau@JustinTrudeau: To those fleeing
persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your
faith. Diversity is our strength #Welcome to Canada
Highly
commendable: Trudeau’s offer to accommodate, in his country, the affected
refugees and expected to be affected in the future by the US travel ban has
indeed come as a breath of fresh air. Whatever is happening in the US today is
beyond one’s imagination. If this is how the beginning is, the end could be
even worse.
NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair also delivered a
direct message to “our Muslim brothers and sisters,” many of whom are now feeling unsafe in their
place of worship.
“We mourn with you. We pray with you. And we
promise we will stand united and fight against the forces of hatred, bigotry
and Islamophobia,” Mulcair said. “And against those who peddle the politics of
fear and division.”
"We will never let there be
daylight between a Christian, a Jew, a Sikh, an atheist and a Muslim in this
country.."
— Green Party Leader Elizabeth May
— Green Party Leader Elizabeth May
“Today we are all Muslims,” May said. “We
stand with you and we will never let there be daylight between a Christian, a
Jew, a Sikh, an atheist and a Muslim in this country.
“We are Canadians and we stand together in
love.”
Canada's criminal code outlaws hate
propaganda, and Canada should ban Donald Trump from entering Canada and
spreading his hate-mongering.
Mr. Trump’s ideas are not simply
“outrageous,” “ridiculous,” or “unacceptable.” He is a purveyor of hate,
racism, and deep prejudice. This goes beyond ignorance and pandering, and takes
us to a different level – the ugliness to which Europe descended in the 1920s
and 1930s, and which has unleashed genocidal attacks in our own time (www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/terror-trump-and-canadas-future/article27747138/)
Trump spent his campaign spitting all over
Muslims.
Furthermore,
amid anger over Trump’s
immigration policy, hundreds of Britons are betting that the U.S. president
will not last a year in office. British lawmakers will hold a debate on
Feb. 20 on a petition signed by more than 1.6 million people calling for the
state visit to be called off to avoid embarrassing Queen Elizabeth.
Look
at the advantage of being unwelcome in the U.S.:
A travel ban might promote a desire for self
reliance in the relevant field.
Also, it will help the affected countries
acquire self-dependence in the fields of higher education and industrialization
creating better opportunities. An uncontrolled brain drain would come to an end
giving a boost to the local economy of the respective country.
Although President Donald Trump is an
arrogant billionaire, he has to proceed with utmost caution. Soon his advisors
with political wisdom are expected to advise him how to keep all nations on board
for the World welfare without siding with anyone in particular.
Surely, his neutrality will help him maintain
the First World Order. Harsh executive
orders endanger the innocent peace loving people at home and abroad, of course.
People may call him insane or stubborn, yet there is one commendable thing---
his gestures and body language is interesting. Beyond doubt, his actions
reflect his thoughts almost with clarity.
Going after the terrorists is a fantastic job
but punishing the victims is thought provoking.
Removal of double standards is absolutely necessary and
so is defining terrorism. Crime and terrorism must be defined by the UNO.
Nations are born in the hearts of poets; they prosper and die in the
hands of politicians--(Iqbal, poet of the East)
January 19, 2017
A Paradigm Shift with Trump in the Driver Seat
“I will be
the greatest jobs president that God ever created, I tell you that. I’ll bring
back our jobs from China, from Japan, from Mexico and from so many places. I’ll
bring back our money. …Sadly, the American dream is dead. But if I get elected
president, I will bring it back bigger and better and stronger than ever
before, and we will make America great again.“ (Donald Trump)------
Though Donald
Trump, the 45th president of the United State of America, is known
for his ability to sniff out things that don’t smell right, he remains a
potential risk for the foundation of existing political and global order.
He tends to speak without thinking. In other words, he is brave enough to say
what he thinks, and he can certainly voice an opinion. If he has an issue with
you, he will say it to your face. In fact, a politician in office with that
level of transparency can’t be dishonest.
Other
factors for his win: He went along with popular sentiment of anti Muslim bashing.
He praised Putin on his stand on Syria that went against Hillary’s approach to
resolve conflicts in the Mid-East. Yet at the same time, Russia is alleged to have manipulated the
western public opinion through successfully molding Western mainstream media
into behavioral models for facilitating Trump’s win.
Question is why did
the frustrated Americans become Trump’s supporters?
Obviously, his
loyalty only focused on America and the Americans—not any political party, any special
interest group or foreign entity. Like his slogan reads, “Make America great again!”
The
amazing confidence level: Trump is so much self-assured and a
powerful personality that is perfectly suitable for the future political environment.
Unlike other politicians who tend to be swayed by lobbyists
and special interests, Trump is his own special interest and is unlikely to
give that power away to anyone but Trump. He is undeniably a great negotiator,
and despite his outrageous public statements in the recent past, he knows how
to navigate complex deals and convince a wide variety of industries,
businesses, and investors to do what he wants. His track record for his financial
success proves that he knows how to build a successful empire.
He has his priorities straight: He
has emphasized beliefs in free enterprise and a strong military. He repeatedly
highlights his acumen for success, his ability to get things done, and
understanding of finances
He intends to keep nuclear weapons out of the wrong hands
Trump said it himself–he will single-handedly stop Iran from
getting nuclear weapons. We aren’t entirely sure how, but he’s Trump; anything
is possible.
Why would Trump make the best president of all time?
He claims to save billions of dollars on the UN Climate
Change Programs
He intends to ban foreign lobbyists fundraising for US
Elections.
Trumps opponents imply that he was involved with Putin, and
that Russia was having an influence on the election.
Furthermore, Trump seems to be the only candidate talking
about how important it is that foreign governments and lobbyists shouldn’t have
any power over US elections. According to him, Hillary, for instance, has been
taking millions from corrupt governments for years. Thus, a ban on foreign lobbyists from
fundraising for United States governments means that it will be only American
people who should be able to have a
major influence on the result of an election.
Another one of his ‘Drain the Swamp’ policies is that he will
ban all White House officials from lobbying for foreign governments, meaning it
will be harder than ever to work with foreign governments and bend the rules to
benefit them. That would be great!
Trump said, “America comes first.” This policy shows he
really means it.
This policy will ensure that government officials are bound
to work in the interests of the United States, and not the rest of the world.
Other
negativity on Trump’s part: Trump has unleashed a series of
aggressive tweets against the U.S. intelligence community and his political
rivals in the recent weeks, and he responded by implying that Brennan had done
a bad job as CIA director — and suggesting that he might even have been
responsible for information leaking from the intelligence agencies.
Anxiety among the Muslim community: The nervous Muslim-Americans Remain worried about Trump
Administration. Many fear they will no longer be welcome in America during the
Trump era. "We have a new president who has the support of a lot of people
who are not very friendly to the Muslim community."
Moreover, Trump continues to advocate a
policy of "extreme vetting" of potential immigrants, to screen out
those, such as radicalized Muslims, who might be perceived as a security
threat.
Some
of Trump's immediate challenges:
How the United States' complicated relationship with Russia
will improve?
Both China and the U.S. bilateral trade is 650 billion
dollars, in this neoliberal world they are intertwined; how can they damage
each other's economic interest?
How to tailor an affordable ‘Health-Care Alternative’ that
doesn't strip coverage from millions of Americans?
Removing doubts on the questioned legitimacy of his
presidency: Civil rights legend Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., is among several
Democrats in Congress who vowed to skip Trump's inauguration, charging that
Russian interference in the 2016 election delegitimizes his presidency.
In
closing: President Trump is determined to construct a wall on
southern border between the U.S. and Mexico to stop illegal migrants. The worst
case scenario is he wants Mexico to pay for that wall - WOW!
The inexperienced president needs some practice to improve
his thoughts towards the friendly Muslim World. Also, he must remember Pakistan
for its sacrifices in its fight against terrorism. America’s friendship with
Pakistan means an economically vibrant World, of course.
At the same time, Pakistan must re-evaluate the international
economic and political environment in order to prioritize its foreign policy
options in its own best interest.
Other problem is Trump intends to scrap NAFTA creating a
major economic concern for Canada. Since the global situation is expected to
change significantly, Ottawa has smartly planned a large-scale economic
expansion with China as its central ambition. Certainly, President Trump is
going to serve his people. Nevertheless, if things go wrong, he may not be able
to complete his tenure.
