Afif is correct that this could all really backfire on Trudeau if this is some loose stunt to votebank/pander upon given seriously bad polling numbers currently (dipping close to 30% support now nationally). When Trudeau goes with "allegations to potential link" (i.e not evidence) and they...

It is a forum and this is a heated issue....so the anger and tension is to be expected sometimes. I will keep a closer eye on things to make sure this thread proceeds under the rules of the forum. I can only intervene if rules are broken (I edited out ad-hominem directed your way)...and I...

I always wait to hear it from sources outside of IDRW. Let's see.

Heh: https://theprint.in/defence/hoping-its-cat-fight-indian-canadian-armies-confident-diplomatic-row-wont-affect-their-ties/1769814/ Canadian deputy army chief Major General Peter Scott is set to visit India next week to attend the Indo-Pacific Army Chiefs' Conference in New Delhi

Refrain from personal attacks/ad-hominem please. Discuss the matter at hand only. Also dont insult countries collectively, focus criticism towards an establishment or specific politicians/policies. Thank you.

Better, fairer elements of Canadian society are now calling out lot of underlying details like this one you mention: Nijjar was a leading Khalistani separatist who had fervently opposed the reconciliation effort, which had continued under the radar. He was wanted in India for years on several...

Not very much, because it was Biden administation that did a big "nope" on keystone pipeline extension (after Trudeau worked so hard to go over Canadian protest/activist groups that were raising issues against it - LOL!). So Biden administration (and whichever sizeable deepstate groups behind...

They were actually mostly Canadian citizens (Indian origin), which made the whole investigation and prosecution process take on a racist/elitist hue to it in that it wasn't handled with same standards (to say the least) that would have happened if the victims were say mostly white-Canadian. It...

Just got into a long heated discussion with some western "libs" elsewhere on all of this. The typical smarmy hypocrite attitude, its disgusting. They also inevitably bring up "Erdogan authoritarianism" in dealing with Gulen/FETO and PKK etc etc, that it is all bad and all these 3rd worlders...

There was an elitist even racist double standard at play in its core, w.r.t the victims involved (i.e mostly Canadian citizens who were Indian origin etc). i.e it is fairly open discussed topic (even and maybe especially within Canada, though maybe not in official media much) how the exact same...

In hindsight it hasn't turned out that way. USSR breakup residual is a major factor in current Russia-Ukraine war (and the conflict that built up before it). I don't like global north or south (just like I never liked First vs Third world). I just prefer developing world vs developed world...

Yeah like the 100 times greater drama between KSA and the US, be it 9/11 or Kashoggi... and now Biden all pals with MBS again. Super serious stance, things never blew over or will blow over. Canada also never did a dumb things on its part regarding this right? It was one-way? Muslims engaged...

I expect relations to decline officially for a while....while India focuses on handling Canada matters (be it trade or relations) through the US anyway. The US is economy and military power of far greater consequence. Trudeau and the liberals have a deliberate policy to vote bank with the Sikh...

There is also the matter that civilian raw shipyard capacity is not 1:1 with whats needed (investment, labour and then actual spending on top to produce) for warships. Very different types of ships, testing and training (its not easy or cheap to produce competent naval crew and all supporting...
