Canadian national-security officials were presented with evidence that Indian consular staff operating in Vancouver supplied information to assist in the assassination of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, two sources told The Globe and Mail.
One of the Indian officials worked as a visa officer in the consulate, using his position to gather information about Mr. Nijjar from members of the Indian diaspora in Surrey, B.C., said the sources, one of whom is in law enforcement and one in national security.

Carney signs deals worth billions in diplomatic breakthrough with India’s Modi
Prime Minister Mark Carney and his Indian counterpart announced Monday what they’re a calling a “new partnership,” a series of multi-million dollar deals and a commitment to sign a free trade agreement by year’s end as the two look to turn the page on years of frosty bilateral relations marked by allegations of Indian foreign interference.
In a statement to reporters after a one-on-one meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the colonial-era Hyderabad House in Delhi’s diplomatic core, Carney said Canada is going all-in on diversifying trade. What’s been agreed to after these leaders’ talks is designed to more than double two-way trade to some $70 billion a year by 2030, he said, as Canada continues a push to reduce its dependence on the U.S.
It took only a minute to change the world.
