Imagine being so corrupt that you call Canada, of all countries, as terrorist haven.

Dunno about CA, but our US terrorists are generally domestic. We have international ones but we call ‘em “contractors”.

The US government strongly denies all accusations that we were in any way responsible for the horrible actions of these terrorists. * quietly slides pallets of weapons and money to the terrorists *

How dare you. When the US government gives them arms they are freedom fighters. It isnt until they use those same arms against us that they become terrorists.

Remind me again which country is known for running scams? The country that has made it so that nobody answers their phone unless they recognize the number?

Oh and the country that needs to have a warning to women that rape is common and rapists are rarely punished.

You're forgetting the atrocities on India's Muslims, Christians, farmers, Dalits, and ,other oppressed castes.

This is the same country and the same PM who Biden dined with in WH 3-4 months back and who Macron honored & awarded Le Grand Croix de Legion de l'Honneur on Bastile day 3 months back.

Maybe now, the west will stop appeasing and coddling genocidal dictators?

You've clearly never taken for the ole' poutine scam. Everywhere you buy poutine, they tell you that "this isn't REAL poutine. You've gotta go to __________". It's always somewhere else. This poutine is in another castle. Don't fall for it. It's all so they can tell sell more plane tickets to Montreal.

And the country that so willfully mismanaged the Covid pandemic that 50% of the population in one of their states got infected. I don't think I ever heard of such numbers even from the reddest of States!

India is also a world champion in under-counting & under-reporting its covid deaths. Lancet & WHO estimate that 4.2 Million Indians died in Covid 1st & 2nd waves. In every Indian state, electric crematoriums worked 23x7 to cremate the dead (in many cases, their chimneys melted from the consstant use), traditional crematoriums were full & people were forced to create open air crematoriums in public stadiums, parks, and on dried river beds. And thats for those who could afford the wood to cremate their dead. Thos who couldn't either dug a pit in therr backyards and buried their dead without any ceremony. A large no. discarded their dead in rivers or buried them in shallow graves near river banks, hoping the river would carry them away when it flooded. Cemeteries of Muslims & Christians had to be expanded many times over.

Our Union govt & the state govts that presided over this carnage lie that they led the world in managing covid.

To be fair, the Canadian government makes even Germany sound like a terrorist-ridden nightmare with all sorts of riots going on all the time:

you could find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I like that one. It's funny because it's so generic.

that's an awful lot of crying for a government that definitely didn't order the assassination of a foreign citizen on foreign soil

Is this their acknowledgement that they assassinated Nijjar?

Terrorist ~~ People we don't like.

Canada is a safe haven for people we don't like.

Shakes first at Canadians with evil goatees

Canadians with regular goatees stare back awkwardly

Well I have officially labelled India as a safe haven for hostile magma people from the Earth's core.

My announcement deserves equal respect.

Can someone give me the TLDR : What's the whole situation about? I haven't really been following in detail... who what why, etc

A Sikh was murdered in Canada. Turns out that he was unwelcomed in India because he said the Sikh should have their own state. India doesn't like people encouraging revolution in their country and send some folks to stop him. He's killed and Canada has the receipts to show it was a state sponsored killing and Modi's government is directly responsible. India tried to say "nah, not us" and the US showed Canada their receipts that confirm India murdered the guy. Now India is mad that they got caught and trying to make Canada look like the bad guy.

Thank you! that is very clear.

A second Sikh guy in Winnipeg was killed a few days ago, and he was on an Indian national police wanted list. This also raised suspicions among more conspiratorial internet people. However, this guy seems to have been involved in gangs and crime so there are others who may have wanted him dead, and there had been no suggestion of intelligence linking this one to the Indian government.

Indian govt assassinated or was involved in the assassination of a Sikh guy living in Canada. Canadian govt tried to reach out to Indian govt privately to get to the bottom of it, but Indian govt was having none of it. So Canadian govt went public with the revelation, causing Indian govt to throw a massive tantrum.

Canada accused the Indian government of killing a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil presumably because of Sikh activist/separatist views.

Accused, with undeniable proof. Well, what should be undeniable anyway, they seem to be pretty sure they can deny it.

It's not exactly undeniable proof. It's "based on intelligence sources", not revealing how the intelligence was obtained, for obvious reasons. That said, it's probably true, because of the Modi government's response.
