Canada and India are friends, not foes. But Trudeau, with his political alliance with Sikh radicals in Canada, has brought bilateral ties with India under increasing strain. After being chastised by Modi during his recent New Delhi visit for being soft on Sikh terrorists, Trudeau claims there are “credible allegations” of a "potential" India link to the killing of a Canada-based Sikh extremist.
Three months after the killing, no one has been charged. Nor did Trudeau say who his government believes carried out the killing. But his unproven allegation, by sparking tit-for-tat expulsions of diplomats, will likely bring Canada-India relations to a new low.
