There's a Canadian Politics thread where you could bring that up. Or do you mean to suggest it has a bearing on this subject here somehow?
Trudeau accuses Indian government of involvement in killing of Canadian Sikh leader
- Thread starter VorZakone
- Start date
I just couldn't find it and saw this one first. Guess there is no separate thread then?
Nazi you say? Don't think the Indian government would have an issue with that. Not too far from their own ideology.
Got it - I've found the Canadian politics thread and will follow up there.

China trying to usurp the US while India look set to replace Russia as the world's biggest trolls and political opponent removal service.

The plot thickens & all that. Let's see if India will now also deny everything, act deeply insulted, and kick out US diplomatic personnel.
In any case, no one should care about Modi and his underlings' feelings.
Extradition treaties both exist for a reason as means to make legal proceedings between nations as something regulated and civilized. Prosecutors from Country X have a job of making proper demands with properly legal indictments to be presented to the prosecutors from Country Y. If Modi's government cannot abide by those basic and internationally legal concepts, then Modi should not start crying if top nations begin to dismiss him and his government because of a lack of a civilized attitude (for a lack of a better term) in such matters.

Extrajudicial assassinations are absolutely the wrong way to address differences and am glad that a spotlight is being shown on this now that India was caught in the cookie jar. However, the US has acted very differently with regards to how this matter is being managed and I would be surprised if they face any blowback for this. Justin Trudeau decided to make this an election issue to save his failing premiership and in many ways has unfortunately empowered individuals who are not completely innocent in their own right. The US has been striking the right balance of a positive tone in public while still pursuing justice in private and not empowering the separatists, which is why the relationship likely won't be strained much, if at all. But lets be honest, this really is the case of the pot calling the kettle black and if the US were to make this an issue like Trudeau did, they would be massive hypocrites in doing so considering the sheer volume of extrajudicial assassinations the US has attempted/completed over the last 60 years.
Modi and his cronies represent so much of what is bad in Indian politics at the moment, the sad reality is that their does not seem to be a credible opposition to his party at the moment, maybe resident Indians can weigh in on this.
Canada is not such a top nation to be fair though, in fact Canada will need India more than the other way around over the next several decades. India's GDP is nearly twice that of Canada's at this point. Plus, the US and EU have not only not dismissed Modi but actually gone out of their way to court him despite the concerns surrounding Modi's erosion of Indian democracy. The most important geopolitical threat to the West is China and the calculation that will be made is that it will be much easier to counter them by having India as part of the team. It would obviously be better if Modi is no longer in charge and if there were a more liberal alternative in India but geopolitics often make strange bedfellows. I mean MBS is still a major player in the geopolitical arena and he more or less murdered a dissident journalist employed by a US media company with his bare hands so it goes to show how little this current issue will matter in the long run.
I don't quite get these two points (bolded). How has Trudeau made this into an election issue? Elections are a year away and this will have become a tiny issue by then (in electoral terms). It's also really not what will make or break the current government (which will likely break); that's the economy/inflation and the housing crisis (and maybe climate change, depending on who scores the worst own goals between now and then). As has been pointed out in previous pages, the reason this came out prematurely (before the investigation was fully complete and there was a proper report), was rather that a media outlet had gotten wind of the investigation and was going to report on it - forcing the government to announce it first to at least be able to control the narrative.
Also, ever since that announcement, Canada has been trying to tone things down and make this into a collaborative issue with India. That has failed entirely because India has simply responded very angrily and that's it (as you say in your other posts, Canada is easy to bully, so why wouldn't they); but I don't quite see how Canada's tone has been wrong, or how it has empowered separatists.

The opposition parties are not in a great state - they mainly lack a charismatic face. But more importantly, the BJP has a stranglehold over A) the sentiments of the Hindu (majority) voter by using their divisive Hindutva agenda B) the overarching pillars of the state l - investigative agencies used to jail / punish critics and political opponents and serve the ruling parties agenda, a mainstream media that is bought and does nothing but glorify the BJP and deitify Modi etc C) the flow of money. They are filthy rich and dwarf their competitors part of which is down to A and B as if you look like a winner you can get away with anything including ensuring all the cash flows your way. Obviously the Congress being poorly run doesn’t help.
To make this point even more -
There are news sites and some newspapers that often oppose the government, which can give an impression of a free media.
But - there are no TV channels doing this (the last one was dogged by declining advertising and tax cases, and was bought out by Modi's personal billionaire friend and donor last year), and BJP also has a massive lead in Whatsapp/social media. Basically, where ordinary people get their news, has been totally won by the ruling party, leaving only mostly English-language websites read by 1% of the population.
And the money ratios are crazy, given that opposition parties control almost half the state governments (which would usually motivate businesses to give them money):

Solid documentary/report from the CBC series titled The Fifth Estate. They are our equivalent to stuff like 60 Minutes and so on.
When you think that Pierre Poilièvre's Tories and Modi's government are basically jerking off each other, no wonder why Poilièvre is refusing to submit himself to a security background check (necessary for any federal party leader to get a security clearance and thus receive classified intel briefings). That donkey is either compromised as hell by foreign powers or is actively enlisting their support.
Instead of cozying up to Poilièvre, our MSM need to wake up and pile up the pressure on him until his position becomes totally untenable. That guy is a fraud and a nuisance to Canada.

India’s Probe Finds Rogue Officials Involved in US Murder Plot

"Rogue" wink wink
Always the bad apples
Sure. As if anyone with a brain will ever believe that when operations on foreign soil just never take place without full approval from the highest echelons of the government.

So now the message is 'yes it's true, but' ?
Standard denial of extra-national activity. I'm convinced.
"We did it. But it wasn't authorized."
Poilievre is another DeSantis. He's saying all the right things that a certain demographic wants to hear (about how bad everything is), but not real answers to most of it. The more the light will shine on him closer to an election, the more gross he'll look though. Like his stupid porn age restriction bill, he doesn't 'get it'. He's just another weirdo religious type that wants to set the world back
Sounds like the Pakistan's "non-state actors" excuse when terrorists are found in their own backyard.
