Western countries have for too long acquiesced to the Indian government’s abuses

    Is there any evidence that India ordered the assassination?

      If there is, it won’t be shared currently due to it being an ongoing investigation.

      But something must be there if the Canadian government is making this statement instead of ignoring it. Sounds like the media was going to push the story anyway, but they got ahead of it.

      The USA already said they aren’t distancing themselves from it and working with Canada with this.

      We will see how things turn out, but things are pointing to more than likely India did something. Especially with the swarm of comments/bots pulling the whole “well he deserved it” and “hypocrites” all over.

        Yeah, Canada and its closest allies (US, UK, etc.) have absolutely every reason to not want to stir the pot with India, considering India is considered critical in countering China in Asia. It’d be insane to pull a stunt like this unless they actually have damning evidence. I guess we’ll all see what comes of this with time, but I’m strongly inclined to believe Canada for now.

        That and India’s response has basically been bald-faced whataboutism and “bUt He WaS a TeRrOriSt”. Doesn’t exactly endear me to believing India had nothing to do with this.

          Yeah the propaganda is definitely out. I think I read some articles claiming Canada is a hotbed for extremism according to some Indian officials?

          I’m like, that’s not a strong denial of what’s going on.

        Plus, there’s probably spies involved.

        Then Trudeau should have kept his trap shut about it until he had the ability to produce hard evidence. Now, he may have even compromised the investigation, or made a fool of himself if this investigation exonerates India hfsctually or due to geopolitical ‘compulsions’).

        It’s a stupid hill to die on.
