  1. SS: India and Canada have resumed contacts between security agencies and are eyeing the possibility of appointing new high commissioners, paving the way for a reset of diplomatic ties after the storm over the 2023 killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, people familiar with the matter said.

    Discussions between the two sides through diplomatic and security channels resumed around December, after the relationship went through another rough patch in October, when India withdrew its high commissioner and five other diplomats who were declared “persons of interest” in the investigation into Nijjar’s killing and expelled an equal number of Canadian diplomats.

    The exit of Justin Trudeau, who triggered the diplomatic row over the Nijjar killing by alleging in September 2023 that Indian government agents were linked to the murder, and his replacement with Mike Carney as the Canadian Prime Minister, too, has paved the way for improving ties, they said.

    However, there may still be complications ahead. The trial of four Indian men accused in Nijjar’s killing is currently underway in the British Columbia supreme court in New Westminster. In addition, Canada’s federal election is imminent and the direction of restoring ties will be dictated by the next Prime Minister, whether it is incumbent Carney or Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre. While the poll is scheduled for October, it may be advanced to spring, according to Canadian media.

  2. Why? There is nothing of value in resetting ties with Canada, until Canada doesn’t cease its actions of harboring terrorists, and complies with sending them back to India, India shouldn’t reset anything with Canada, let Trump mop the floor with it.

  3. I’m wondering if a deal can be made between Canada and India to acquire some HA Tejas fighter jets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAL_Tejas It’s not 5th Gen, but it’s India’s pride. Not saying scrapping the F-35 project, but a Jester of good faith between two nations? Maybe two, or possibly 3 squandrens. It could lead to Canada making their own future fighters under license.

  4. It’s the Trump effect. With India’s market of 1.5 billion people (almost equal to Europe, North America, and South America combined), it becomes hard for Canada to ignore when it has a new policy of diversifying its trading partners. Our new Prime Minister (Mark Carney) is a lot more pragmatic than Trudeau, who used to favour domestic politics to remain in power.

  5. Can’t believe for a small moment Indian diplomats used words much harsher than they’ve ever done for Pakistan

    Then just kept escalating it instead of an apologizing. Regardless of what the truth was(like fake the apology priority should be growth, we’re behaving like a strongman too quickly). Besides one person’s life isn’t worth this embarrassing fight between two states. 

  6. India should improve relations with Canada if they agree on tackling the seperatist issue. All we ask in return for relations is no interference in our internal affairs.
