Incendiary rhetoric on Sikh’s murder stokes debate in Canada diaspora

A row between Canada and India over the murder of a Sikh separatist has stoked talk of political friction among some Sikhs and Hindus in the diaspora, though others say it’s overblown.

After Mr Trudeau’s public accusation on Monday that India may have been behind the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil, a clip surfaced on social media showing the head of a US-based Sikh separatist group calling for Hindu Canadians to return to India.

“Indo-Canadian Hindus, you have repudiated your allegiance to Canada and the Canadian constitution,” said Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, head of Sikhs for Justice, in a video that was reportedly filmed on 12 September.

“Your destination is India. Leave Canada. Go to India,” he said.

Before son, there was the father: Why Trudeaus have difficult relationship with India

Canada-India rift deepens

Before Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, there was Pierre Elliott Trudeau, his father and Canada’s 15th PM.

With his embracing of the Khalistani elements in Canada, Justin Trudeau ensured that ties with India nosedived. The trigger for the plunging relations was his unsubstantiated claims that India was behind the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

And before Justin Trudeau’s visit to India, first in 2018 and then in 2023 for the G20 Summit, came his father’s.

Sabrina Maddeaux: Trudeau Liberals shrugged for years as foreign interference multiplied

As Canadians wait to learn more about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s explosive reveal of “credible allegations of a potential link between agents of the Government of India and the killing of a Canadian citizen,” questions continue to compound. The clearest thing right now is we need to know more about Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s murder and, based on how peer governments handled similar cases, there’s solid precedent for transparency about the evidence.

Absolute bat shit, insane behaviour: Canadians lambast Justin Trudeau after he expells top Indian diplomat, accuses Indian agencies of killing Khalistani terrorist Nijjar

Hours after Justin Trudeau falsely accused the Indian government of killing a Khalistani terrorist named Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil, his countrymen slammed him on social media for hurting ties with India.

Journalist Daniel Bordman was shocked at the shenanigans of the Canadian Prime Minister and his decision to expel a top Indian diplomat from the country.

They haven’t called Canada a state sponsor of terror, but it’s close


Just an FYI – Earlier I posted that CBC’s usual reliable sources like Katie Telford are claiming that “Canada has Indian diplomats’ communications in bombshell murder probe: sources”

It’s got some laughable clangers like this one: “Canadian sources say that, when pressed behind closed doors, no Indian official has denied the bombshell allegation at the core of this case — that there is evidence to suggest Indian government involvement in the assassination of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil.”

CBC ran with the Russia Collusion hoax for years so you know they have excellent “sources.”

I don’t doubt India did OFF Nijjar, and they don’t care what Junior thinks about it.

Junior has to answer why Canada became a haven for the terrorists he obviously favours.

Canada has Indian diplomats’ communications in bombshell murder probe: sources

The Canadian government has amassed both human and signals intelligence in a months-long investigation of a Sikh activist’s death that has inflamed relations with India, sources tell CBC News.

That intelligence includes communications involving Indian officials themselves, including Indian diplomats present in Canada, say Canadian government sources.

The intelligence did not come solely from Canada. Some was provided by an unnamed ally in the Five Eyes intelligence alliance.


“Sources” – I remember when CBC was certain of the Trump Russia Collusion “Sources”

It doesn’t change anything. The Indians offed a terrorist that the Trudeau government at best turned a blind eye to.

What did Junior think was going to happen? 

Did he expect India to send him a thank you note?

Michael Higgins: Does Trudeau have what it takes to wage diplomatic war with India?

Foreign affairs are a minefield for Justin Trudeau but surely no one expected him to trigger an explosive diplomatic war with India.

This is now a defining moment for the prime minister who must prove himself either a strong and decisive leader or a weak and ineffectual politician. But does Trudeau possess the Churchillian spirit?

Junior is already in enough hot water having grossly overestimated international reaction to his accusation.

Give it Up CBC: Trudeau’s allegiance to Khalistani radicals & Communist China can’t be helping Canada’s standing in the Five Eye’s intelligence alliance

What are the ‘Five Eyes’? As Canada accuses India, what you need to know about the intelligence alliance

Following Canada’s accusation this week that agents with connections to the Indian government were responsible for the fatal shooting on Canadian soil of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Canada’s Five Eyes allies have so far been reluctant to wade too deeply into the incident.

The CBC’s Evan Dyer reported this week that Canada had already indicated to the U.S. and the U.K. during and immediately following the G20 summit in New Delhi earlier this month that Canada’s already difficult relations with India were about to get even rockier.


Trudeau’s stewardship has isolated Canada with his dubious record of foreign allegiances.

Trudeau announced Canada would be a permanent NATO deadbeat.

We were not invited to join the AUKUS military alliance officially because we would not purchase nuclear subs but more likely because his government is riddled with ChiCom assets.

Alienating India by harboring Khalistani terrorists is not a good look among allies hoping to win India over as a counter to Justin’s admired basic dictatorship.

In short Canada is not a serious international partner, Junior has little more than Gender Language to offer.


They’re right! …

India calls Canada a ‘safe haven for terrorists’ as it suspends visa services for Canadians

At least nine separatist organisations supporting terror groups have bases in Canada and despite multiple deportation requests, Ottawa has taken no action against those involved in heinous crimes, including the killing of popular Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, officials in New Delhi said on Tuesday.

Incidents of hate crimes against Indians in Canada on rise despite PM Trudeau’s claims of Canada a rule of law country

On September 19, Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused India of having a hand in the killing of a Canadian citizen and Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Trudeau took a high moral ground and declared that “Canada is a rule of law country, the protection of our citizens are fundamental.. Law enforcement and security agencies ensure continued safety of all Canadians..”

But a day later, Canada-based Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, legal advisor and spokesperson for ‘Sikhs for Justice’, a pro-Khalistan group, on Wednesday issued a video message threatening Canadian Indian, saying “Indo-Canadian Hindus, you have refuted your allegiance to Canada and the Canadian constitution. Your destination is India. Leave Canada and go to India. Pro-Khalistan Sikhs have always been loyal to Canada. They have always sided with Canada and they have upholded the laws and constitution of Canada.”

Vancouver police boost security at Indian Consulate … Another Of Justin’s Foreign Allegiances Costing Tax Payers Money

VANCOUVER – The Vancouver Police Department says it’s beefing up security outside India’s Consulate after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said this week there was credible intelligence about a potential link between India’s government and the killing of a Sikh community leader in B.C.

Const. Tania Visintin, the department’s media relations officer, says police are “closely monitoring the situation” since Trudeau’s announcement about the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a vocal supporter of an independent Sikh homeland, who was shot dead in Surrey in June.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is accusing the Government of India of assassinating a Canadian citizen. It’s not possible to infer anything less from the sum of Trudeau’s remarks in the House of Commons on Monday, and going by the response from the government of Indian prime minister Narendra Modi today, the damage to Indo-Canadian relations may be irreparable.

Justin Trudeau brings Canada’s ties with India under increasing strain

Canada and India are friends, not foes. But Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, by countenancing the rising anti-India activities of extremist Sikh groups in Canada, has brought relations with New Delhi under increasing strain during his term in office. Now, with his statement in the House of Commons on Monday, he has created an unusual diplomatic crisis between two major democracies.

Was India really behind Canada’s Sikh shooting?

The country’s Punjabi community has a history of gang and gun violence

Justin Trudeau has this week accused the Indian government of the murder of prominent Sikh leader and pro-Khalistan activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was gunned down outside a Sikh temple in Surrey, BC this past June. The accusations have further strained relations between Canada and India, with Ottawa expelling the Indian intelligence chief stationed in Canada, and India in turn asking a high-ranking Canadian diplomat to leave the country within the next few days.
