“On India, Justin Trudeau hasn’t always been right. But this time, he is,” says an editorial in the Toronto Star, one of Canada’s leading newspapers. The statement conveys the nation’s sentiments.
The specifics are breathtaking. In Canada, eight people have been charged with homicide (the exact number of deaths being investigated was not disclosed), and 22 are charged with making threats, intimidation, coercion, or harassment. “Police have warned 13 Canadians from the South Asian diaspora that they are potential targets of Indian agents since Trudeau first went public with allegations that the Indian government was complicit in the murder of Hardeep Singh Najjar,” it explains.

It was tasked with looking into the possibility of foreign actors like China, Russia, and others interfering with the country’s federal elections in 2019 and 2021.
