Re: India - Canada - News and Discussion. (2018)
I don't think the situations (Farmers agitation and Falsdu's allegations) are comparable. Also, it may have been a tactical retreat that is not a big deal in tge grand scheme. This situation has to be dealt with finesse as we are also sending a messafe to any wannabee two bit actors. That is a diff...
