Violent Khalistani extremists, who want to carve out their own country from India’s Punjab, rampaged through a Hindu temple in the Greater Toronto Area on Sunday in one of their most audacious attacks in recent years. It certainly didn’t top their bombing of Air India Flight 182 in 1985 that killed over 300 people, especially since nobody died during the latest clashes, but it nevertheless shows that Trudeau’s embrace of this movement is endangering average Canadians and is contrary to national interests.
He claims that they have the constitutionally enshrined freedom to promote whatever cause that they want in spite of India designating some of their leaders as terrorists-separatists whose extradition it’s sought for years. Be that as it may, there’s a huge difference between peacefully protesting and publishing online agitprop and rampaging through a place of worship and threatening diplomats, the latter of which is one of this movement’s newest tactics that violates the Vienna Convention.
Instead of responsibly working with Canada’s state-level peers in India to thwart the transnational threats posed by these non-state actors, Trudeau has blamed them for these tensions after accusing India of orchestrating the assassination in summer 2023 of a Delhi-designated terrorist-separatist in Vancouver. The US later followed suit in response to a similar plot that they allegedly foiled. Here are a few background briefings for those who haven’t closely followed this scandal:
* 19 September 2023: “There’s A Lot More To The Indian-Canadian Dispute Than An Alleged Assassination”
* 1 October 2023: “India’s Top Diplomat Shared Some Dark Truths About Canada”
* 2 May 2024: “WaPo’s Indian Assassination Article Is A Shot Across The Bow By American Intelligence Agencies”
* 23 September 2024: “The US Is Playing A Game Of Good Cop, Bad Cop Against India”
* 19 October 2024: “The De Facto Rupturing Of Indian-Canadian Ties Has The US’ Fingerprints All Over It”
In short, Canada and the US have been cultivating Khalistani extremists as Hybrid War weapons against India for years as a card to play for when it inevitably began to defy the West like it’s done since 2022 with regard to their demands to sanction Russia, hence the timing of these latest tensions. The difference between these two’s complementary approaches though is that Canada’s is much more out of control at the local level due to Trudeau’s “vote bank politics”.
He feels compelled to pander to these extremists due to how popular Khalistani extremism is among his country’s Sikh minority, whose leading politician Jagmeet Singh from the New Democratic Party has the power to topple Trudeau’s government at any moment as recently explained by Politico here. Canada is consequently held hostage to these political extremists who feel emboldened by this arrangement to literally terrorize Hindus knowing that the state will likely turn a blind eye to their attacks.
This contradicts Canada’s national interests by involving it in a foreign conflict in which it has no stakes and which is now being partially waged on his country’s soil with some of its own citizens as casualties. The combination of selfish political interests and participation in the US’ Hybrid War on India could also entail economic consequences if Indian tourism and investment flows are curtailed as punishment. Trudeau could care less though since this liberal–globalist ideologue is convinced that he’s in the right.
