Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he does not want to escalate tensions further with India, on a day when Canada’s allies showed signs they are unwilling to join Ottawa’s public condemnation of New Delhi for its alleged role in the gangland-style slaying of a prominent Canadian Sikh leader.
As he entered a cabinet meeting Tuesday, Mr. Trudeau sought to dial back his dramatic criticism of India after New Delhi ordered Canadian diplomat Olivier Sylvestre out of the country in a tit-for-tat response to Ottawa’s expulsion of an Indian foreign intelligence officer from its High Commission in Ottawa.
GUNTER: Trudeau tough with one, not the other
I won’t pretend to know the truth about Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the Sikh leader who was gunned down in June as he left his gurdwara in Surrey. B.C. after worship.
Was Nijjar just a refugee from India who had come to Canada in 1997 and started a successful plumbing business? Or was he, as the Indian government charges, a leader of the Khalistan Tiger Force who trained violent militants in the Lower Mainland for attacks in India.
The world knows Canada’s Liberal Government is a Beijing branch plant operation so it’s no surprise that Junior would attempt to disrupt India’s key position within the Asian counterweight to China’s imperialist dream.
Given Trudeau is a ChiCom dupe and Canada’s China Class is so deeply embedded in our society it’s understandable that no nation would side with Junior.
Any transcripts of conversations other nations may have with Trudeau are probably on Xi’s desk before Junior hangs up the phone.
