Well, didn't have that on my bingo card for this year. What does this mean? For people that are into geo-politics. Trudeau isn't some random government official... but is India just going to deny it and Canada just say "oh, ok" ?

I mean, we've seen this play out with Russia but Russia/West was never on the best of terms to begin with.

We were discussing a bit in another thread; it should feel like a bigger deal, but most likely Canada will have to say "oh, ok", at least publicly, unless they want to escalate things further than some might argue it's worth.

By 2018, the Government of India had accused Nijjar of multiple targeted killings in India. Nijjar stated that the Indian authorities were falsely implicating him in criminal cases.

Apparently the indian government pushed the canadian delegation on the issue of Khalistan at the G20. The Canadians were like "Look we have evidence of your guy killing this guy". The Canadian delegation then did not get invited to important G20 events. The trade meetings were halted.

At the end the canadian's plane broke down for 48 hours in india stranding them in new delhi and I bet they were feeling real antsy to get the hell out. Trudeau's govt must have been pretty pissed at all of this and announced on the tube in a big cathartic moment.

This would be a lesson in comical errors in diplomacy, if it were not such a tragic situation.

Canada has a history of sheltering Khalistani terrorists. =================================

Canada repeating the same mistake - In 1982 India had urged Canada when @JustinTrudeau's father Pierre Trudeau was PM, to hand over Babbar Khalsa terrorist Talwinder Parmar but Trudeau Sr didnt.

In 1985 Khalistani terrorists placed a bomb inside Air India plane Kanishka. 329 people were killed in mid air explosion.

Today Trudeau Jr, Instead of acknowledging presence of Anti-India extremists & terrorists in Canada, Choose to Shelter them and accuse India w/o evidence. https://twitter.com/MeghUpdates/status/1703968941125882258

First he pissed off Xi

Now this. Its like his mission is to make enemies in public.

It's not exactly his fault India murdered somebody in his country.

What you're doing is known as victim blaming.

I think if they really cared about these extra judicial killings there is much bigger target south of the that they should first blockade to fix things...
