There are a few aspects of the whole affair that don't make any sense to me.

What is the Trudeau's endgame in all this?

Why is his party tolerating him?

Is Trudeau's hold on his party so strong that he will not be removed by them?

Was listening to AAMitra
Was suggesting that everybody in all forums should resist using the terms Khalistani/Separatist and rather call them as Interpol recognised Criminals
Referring them as secessionist give a cloak of respectability to them.
As most would agree these guys are just criminals who escaped to Kaneda and claim refugee status on religious grounds.
Their main funda seems drugs/supari killings/gun running and when get caught claim they are fighiting for Khalisthan

Folks - any assumption regarding R&AW being directly or indirectly involved in any of these killings is presumptuous.

As with any extremism movements -- they operate in nexus with criminal activities such as human trafficking, arms trafficking and drug trafficking. There is a well documented trail of criminal gangs operating in Canada.

For all we know Nijjar, and others were killed in gang warfare. The murder was conducted in classic gang murder approach.

If you want to know more about the organized crime gangs in Canada affiliated with Khalistanis -- do take a look at this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Cana ... ized_crime

IMHO, Trudeau is conveniently blaming India for what is essentially a deteriorating domestic law and order situation and out and out gang warfare. At the same time, taking heat off his ignoring the Chinese influence campaigns within Canada.

Apparently, hard drugs are legal in Canada.

So this is not going to cause any incident.
Not really legal. AFAIK, one province only.
https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/over ... nalization
What changes
Health Canada granted an exemption under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act to the Province of B.C. This is effective from January 31, 2023 to January 31, 2026.

Under this exemption, adults (18 years and older) in B.C. are not arrested or charged for possessing small amounts of certain illegal drugs for personal use. The illegal drugs covered by the exemption are:

Opioids (such as heroin, morphine, and fentanyl)
Crack and powder cocaine
Methamphetamine (Meth)
MDMA (Ecstasy)
Adults found in personal possession of any combination of these illegal drugs that adds up to a combined total of 2.5 grams or less are not subject to arrest or criminal charges and the drugs are not seized. Instead, they are offered information about health and social supports. This includes support with making a referral to local treatment and recovery services, if requested.

The exemption does not apply to K-12 schools, licensed childcare facilities, playgrounds, splash pads, wading pools, and skate parks.

What remains illegal
Possession of:

A combined total of more than 2.5 grams of the exempted illegal drugs
Any amount of other illegal drugs not included in the exemption
Decriminalization is not legalization. Under this exemption, illegal drugs (including those listed above) are not legalized and will not be sold in stores. Unless otherwise authorized under the CDSA, drug production, trafficking, import and export remain illegal, regardless of the type or amount of drug(s) in possession.

The you tube link above was published by the Telegraph. It's title is Canada's woke nightmare : A warning to the western world.

It's a collection of interviews of people from different walks of life. Including one emigrant Indian Sikh family. His drawing room has a picture of goddess Saraswati prominently displayed.

That has to be the most frightening thing to a Khalistani.

This below may be the Sukhdool Singh alias Sukha Dunuke murder.
https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/this- ... -wednesday

1. This is very recent news in the source. Just how many murders occur in Winnipeg? But the name and cause of death have not been released.

2. The location is a residential area very close to the Gurdwara Kalgidhar Darbar per Google maps.

3. One has to wonder at the speed of the Indian grapevine. Some local must have posted something on a social media account about the murder, and desi monitoring picked it up.

News-item:
A man was killed in a home on Hazleton Drive off of King Edward Street on Wednesday morning.

Winnipeg Police Service officers were called to the 200 block of the street at about 10 a.m., where they found a man dead. His body was taken to hospital, where an autopsy is pending. Police have not said how he’s believed to have died.

Police say they are working on notifying the victim’s family of his death and have not yet released his name or age. Homicide detectives are investigating but have made no arrests.

Police have asked anyone with information or video surveillance to call detectives at 204-986-6508 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 204-786-8477.

Disagree with AIM on this. There is no reason not to call a turd a turd. These are Khalistani Separatist Terrorists. calling them Interpol criminals equates them with muggers and cheats. They are far, far worse.

Trudeau is a mentally vacuous idiot whose economic mismanagement have left his countrymen gasping for relief.
His IQ is on part with Kamala Harris. No wonder he's a darling of the western Left.
He takes after his flighty starlet mother, rather than his prime minister father. His only prior experience was as a drama teacher.
So he's Canada's Pappu.

He depends on Khalistani Jagmeet for outside support to his govt in parliament.
Jagmeet Singh Dhaliwal is another fool, having removed his surname and shortened his name to just Singh, in order to be "born again" puritan.

Neither of these idiots knows how to fix the economy, which has been damaged by their own ineptitude.

Therefore, these two grifters have had to cook up this "foreign hand" stunt as a distraction to their own misdoings at home.

How the Khalistanis and Jagmeet Singh captured the New Democratic Party (NDP) is a fascinating story. Canada has three national parties, the Conservatives, Liberals and the NDP. The NDP never has and never will get enough votes to form a Federal Government and and as a result internal party processes are easy going. The NDP has traditionally been the party of blue collar workers.

In the 2015 Federal elections, the Liberals led by Trudeau won an absolute majority. There are 338 seats in the House of Commons, so a majority is 169 seats. In 2017 the leader of the NDP stepped down, they had only 10 seats in Parliament at that point in time and Jagmeet Singh stood as a candidate to become the leader of the NDP. For 6 years before that Jagmeet Singh was a Member of the Legislative Assembly in the Province of Ontario where his most notable achievement was:
Yet one of Jagmeet Singh’s most notable accomplishments as a lawmaker was to initiate a motion in the Ontario legislature last year declaring India a state that committed a genocide. The motion refers to three days in 1984: after two Sikh bodyguards assassinated Indian PM Indira Gandhi the country witnessed a spasm of mob violence not seen since the partition of India – about 3,000 Sikhs lost their lives.
This is notwithstanding that a Provincial Legislature has nothing whatsoever to do with international relations.

Individuals who are members of a party can vote in the party elections to appoint a new leader. The minimum annual membership for all the parties is in the $10-$25 range per annum. But what is interesting is that one can become a member literally weeks before a party election, pay the fee for that year and after the election is over and your favored candidate is elected, you can let your membership lapse.

In March of 2017 the NDP had a total of ~43,000 members, the majority of them blue collar workers who were mostly members of various labor unions.

Jagmeet Singh stood as a candidate and organized a membership drive in March of that year by distributing publicity material in all the gurudwaras in Canada. Of the 83,000 new members signed up in a 3 month period, Jagmeet Singh claimed 70,000 members. When party elections were held in late summer/early Fall of that year the NDP membership rolls had swelled from ~43,000 to ~124,000!! During the actual elections about 65,000 votes were cast of which Jagmeet Singh got ~35,000. Since he had got more than 50% of the votes he won the party election on the first ballot.

If he signed up 70,000 members and even if they paid an average of C$20 for each membership, Jagmeet Singh captured the NDP for an outlay of less than C$1.5 million.

As luck would have it for him, when the Federal elections of 2019 were held, the Liberals under Trudeau got the largest number of seats, about 157, but fell short of a majority by about 10 seats. That is when the NDP with Jagmeet Singh started supporting the Liberals with a definite quid pro quo for Khalistan support from the Liberal Government. But things were still not blatantly out of control

In 2021 with Covid still raging Trudeau called early snap elections hoping to regain a majority but the election results were a virtual stalemate with each party's tally virtually unchanged and so Trudeau had to go to Jagmeet Singh again for support. I would imagine that the cost for such support must have been higher this time around and hence a much more pronounced support for Khalistani causes in the current Liberal Government.

So the NDP has been hijacked by the Khalistanis and with less than 10% of the seats in the House of Commons they effectively control the India policy of the Liberal Government.

Hardeep Singh Nijjar gambit backfires on Justin Trudeau
The Canadian Prime Minister spent much of Wednesday canvassing support at the United Nations for his sketchy allegation that New Delhi engineered the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar -- a terrorist fugitive from India who emigrated to Canada -- with little to show for it.
Canadian officials said he met leaders of Kenya, Chile, Italy, Germany and the European Union and apprised them of the spat with India among other matters. But readouts from Trudeau's office about the meetings made no mention of the issue, and none of the countries involved made any mention of the hot-button issue between Canada and India.

Modi has to open his mouth on Canada, cannot let Trudeau get away with his brain fart. He should raise this issue in Lok Sabha and say that when Trudeau brought it up with him, he demanded evidence from Trudeau and it has not been provided yet (this was mentioned in MEA briefing today).

Like the nation wanted to hear from Modi on Manipur, the world wants to hear from him on Canada. Modi saying it in Parliament has more weightage than MEA briefings.

He may be waiting for the conclusion of the new Parliament session.

It's not needed skumar ji. Right now we are giving Justin Turd all the rope to hang himself with. We are handling this the right way with every response from our side spearheaded by MEA and that's how we need to go with this. Just because some low life made a brand new accusation, we need not drop everything. This is MEA's coming out moment, so to speak. Win or lose, we need to keep at this game and march on.

Now it seems US has started singing the same tune as Canada, suggesting India about their principles they believe in, unfortunately never practice. What I am afraid of is this exposure of their tacit support to Khalistani movement from their soil to apparent arm twist India at their will does not push India, that has taken several steps towards forgetting the past, is compelled again to form an alliance detrimental to the American interest.
