It is weird watching Canada be polite constantly while India attacks it everyday. Meanwhile all Canadian allies are quiet.
CBC should air the BBC documentary ‘ The Modi Question’ on tv. Just air it every evening.
Well, Canada should have thought about it before going public thanks to their idiot and weak PM.
Cowards!
Nothing makes sense here. You accuse publicly another government of killing a citizen and then want to resolve issue privately.
Wtf does that even mean?
Canada also needs a leader with a spine! If India is acting tough, twds Canada on the world stage, maybe Canadian leadership can grow a pair and flex back!

Ad a cabadian I’m am disgraced and disgusted by our government.
They run our country into the ground while having zero backbone on the international stage.
All they have done is show its alright to do whatever you want on our countries soil.
Joke
i do wish the US would have Canada back in this
kinda shitty that they did not fully support
Just looking at these comments is crazy.
If Redditors could run a country, the country would cease to exist in a couple of years.
Like what is Canada suppose to do? Yah India is bad but is Canada suppose to just alienate themselves? The world is in a point where globalization is the most important factor in the world. No one dares of offend one other especially if it’s with someone who has power.
India is escalating the issue for domestic gain. There is an election in early 2024, and Modi is trying to capitalize this situation before election.
This escalation helps to keep this topic **at the headline**.
1. A good chunk of Indian population believe India assassinated Nijjar. This escalation keep reminding them about India’s “achievement”.
2. Those who are doubtful about India’s involvement in this murder, they are also happy with India’s escalatory response. The attitude is – *”how dare Canada accuse us! We must send them strong response.”*
Keep in mind that this issue was an **open secret** in Indian communities even before Trudeau made it public. A Khalistani activist died in UK. Another Khalistani activist was killed last year in Canada. Through unofficial propaganda channels, Modi government was already spreading propaganda that Indian intelligence agency RAW doing it. By spreading this propaganda, government is able to portray itself as *strong nation* – West cannot kick it around anymore. This escalation fits into this narrative perfectly.
That’s not going to work.

I am deeply curious.
What happens to these contract killers? Surely the Intelligence services must know who did it, is that person going to be on some “wanted” list for murder? Or are they just going to let it slide if it’s done by a government? Also, is it normal practice for governments to employ people who murder full time? Like they get health insurance and everything?
What’s the difference between a ‘spat’ and a ‘row’ ?

To non-Anglosphere folks- this is a gentle reminder that Reddit is mostly left leaning Anglosphere. So essentially the comments here at best represent the mindset and opinion of a small fraction of the 50% of the 200 million(ie, overall sample size is only ~2% of human population, which in addition to being minuscule, is very homogeneous, originally coming from a small island) or so people tracing their heritage to UK. We never get to hear what do Non-English speaking folks in Europe, Africans, Chinese, Russians, Japanese, Indonesians, etc think about this issue. Hence, the responses/upvote on this thread, subreddit, or Reddit count for nothing.

No proof presented, only accusations like WMD/Iraq, realized India is not Iraq, so slowly walking back.
Spat?? A Canadian citizen was assassinated on Canadian soil by a foreign government.
Dude went public with the allegations now want private talks and people here calling it polite move lmao. Shouldn’t have gone public to begin with without evidence at that. Didn’t he had private meeting during g20 ?
Ngl Canada is in wrong hands
Always the word credible allegations with potential links was used.
Never the word evidence, if u actually have a valid one. U don’t need to show the evidence to the world just to Indian govt.
Even if u don’t want to share and u want to just discuss it publically for internal political gains, why not use the word evidence. It would serve the same purpose.
That’s what is confusing.
Was this before or after the canadian parliament gave a standing ovation to a nazi?
