Latest news: Trudeau is now throwing some of his cabinet ministers under the bus in order to save himself.
He is now looking to replace his close lieutenant Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland (the most detested ruling politician after Trudeau himself)
Trudeau is seen as badly wounded after losing a key by-election race in a district traditionally dominated by his party.
It's like Rahul or Priyanka losing in Rae Bareilly or Wayanad.
This has sparked in him a willingness to take more radical action for his own self-preservation.

She is there to tell them. Please find us. We will continue to reduce anti PRC options for the western world.
Does that mean China will be able to sell its low-priced Electric Vehicles in Canada without tariffs?
I bet China would like to benefit from getting its goods into US market via Canada route.
But is there any possibility of that?

Don't know. But if Canada is shut for US EVs. That's a win for PRC.

I say this, because China has already similarly set up some agreements with Mexico to get some of their EVs into US without tariffs.
There's at least one Chinese-owned Mexico-based plant (purchased from Volvo, I think) which has gotten grandfathered under existing US trade allowances.
I think China would want to get similar schemes through Canada. China has made huge investments in Electric Vehicles, which they hope to make huge money from.

EV represent a frontier for the economy. The US views it, like the Europeans, a strategic industry rather than a consumerist one.
Canada is not able to act against core US interests.
If China's Wang Yi has suddenly summoned Canada's FM for a meeting like this, then you can bet China has something up its sleeve.
Canada's state broadcaster CBC is such a bastion/cesspool of leftist ideology that their coverage of Trump assassination attempt basically tried to blame him for it:
The @BAPStemple in Edmonton, Canada became the latest Hindu temple targeted for an attack early this morning. The temple was defaced with slurs threatening
" #AryaCanada, (one of a few Hindu Members of the Canadian House of Commons.
This latest incident that mirrors several previous attacks by pro-Khalistan terrorists. Canadian authorities must immediately investigate this vandalism of another Hindu temple & implied threat to a sitting M.P., and remain vigilant as the upcoming “Khalistan referendum” in Calgary sponsored by Sikhs for Justice carries the potential of more strife in the region.

Don't worry -- Canadian authorities will simply tell us all to not believe our lying eyes, and that it's just a mirage and an illusion, and to pay no attention.
Remember, the Mounties always get their man - as long as the victims are white caucasians.
The brown coolie-serfs must keep their heads down, as they've merely been imported to pay taxes to keep the welfare state going, in order to help the ruling class sustain their political machine.
Watch them continue to heavily lean into this strategy in the months and years ahead.
We must take Pannu’s edict seriously. He represents the ideal Sikh and can instigate violence. Or what to most would be violence. Of course one must be cognisant of ethnic cultural values.
The ministry of external affairs (MEA) on Thursday said Canada should take action against elements who threaten Indian leaders during its weekly press briefing. The MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal was referring to a recent video released by Khalistani separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun where he made threats to Indian-origin MP Chandra Arya and Indians living in Canada.
“The likes of Arya and his supporters. You have no place in Canada because you are working against Canadian values. You are working against the Charter of Rights and you are promoting the interest of your masters, India. You all must abandon your citizenship and move back to your motherland, India,” Pannun had said in his video.
“We expect Canada to take action against anti-India elements who have repeatedly threatened Indian leaders, institutions, airlines and diplomats by violence. We would like to see strong action, same level of action on threats against us,” Jaiswal said.
He also said that he has come across reports of two men being arrested after they released a video threatening Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and said Canada should deal with the anti-India elements the same way it dealt with the people threatening Trudeau, without directly referring to the Pannun video.
“We have seen these reports. When a democracy adopts different yardsticks to measure or implement the rule of law and freedom of expression, it only exposes its own double standard,” Jaiswal said.
Relations between Canada and India remain fraught with tensions as Ottawa accuses New Delhi of orchestrating a murder-for-hire plot following the murder of Khalistani separatist terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. India has denied the accusations, terming them ‘baseless’.
Tensions soared this week after Khalistani miscreants vandalised the premises of the BAPS Swaminarayan Temple in Edmonton, followed by the video where Pannun targets Hindus living in Canada.
The MEA said that it has taken up the matter with Canadian authorities. “We have strongly taken up the matter with Canadian authorities, both in Delhi and Ottawa. We condemn the vandalization. We expect the local authorities to take strong and swift action against those responsible. These attacks against Temples have become a recurring occurrence and are done with a purpose which is not difficult to fathom,” Jaiswal said.
“We have seen a number of such incidents in recent times in Canada. Lack of action against the perpetrators has further emboldened such criminal elements. Those advocating and responsible for extremism and violence need to be brought to justice or else the rule of law and respect for pluralism in Canada will continue to be severely undermined. We hope the Canadian government will take action,” he further added.
Was Justin Trudeau really the target of an assassination attempt?
Or is the federal police being used to intimidate those who dare to question Justin Trudeau?

Somebody sent me a picture of a Beach sign "Poop and Scoop", It is a Singh squatting, doing as he does in the pind in Punjab, but I am not sure how to attach it to this comment.
My nephew who was raised in Delhi and has done his PG from a college in Ireland. He was in a shared accommodation with a group of Indians from Delhi and other parts of the country. After the first semester/ term. He decided that he will not longer share his accomodation with other Indians. They were so dirty and I'll equipped to stay in the accommodation.
Same story was repeated by a friend of mine in Scotland as a landlord. He simply docked the security deposit. As the students from India had left his property in an extremely bad state.
Far from being sorry about the damage done. Those students complained about him to the council. He then shared before and after pictures with the council. The council asked him, if he wanted to press charges for property damage against those students.
He declined as the damage was covered within the security deposit.

I have to correct myself, it is not true, lots of allegations but no evidence. White supremists and nazis along with paks getting in on the act.
(per some Sources) - Canadian side had requested for meeting with Indian officials over alleged Indian link to Nijjar killing, and as part of diplomatic ctsy, it was agreed. Canadian have not provided any evidence of India link to Nijjar. CSIS was in communication with Nijjar.
Nijjar was murdered by another Khalistani who came into Canada as a student (like thousands now) and later applied for asylum. Drugs and gangs are behind this murder. I wish government of India to work on this angle exposing the Trudeau hypocrisy and growing drug problem among canucks
The Canadian terrorism problem has now been going on 40+ years. My conclusion is that there is political consensus in India that the current state of affairs is "okay" somehow and meets some goal. This is based on the fact that OCI visas allowing easier access to India are issued to Canadians when they are denied to Pakistanis.
A big step can be to review OCI status of all Canadian citizens. Ask them to submit details of their social media handles for evidence of any anti-India, pro-Khalistan activity which will automatically lead to cancellation of OCI card. Severing connection of Khalistantis with India (and making them ineligible to travel to India) is the biggest stick we have, but we won't use it

A major recruitment tool used is limiting access to information. People who attend to family affairs and business in India are aware of the ridiculous claims of persecution of Sikhs by Modi.
Of course the hardcore ones should stay where they are.
I can’t find the videos now but in them some well educated anppearing and obviously well off Sikhs, in Britain, can be seen being abused by some louts. In fact one of the Sikhs was crudely verbally abused when he reflexively went to pick up the Indian flag being trampled by khalistanis. I would never want such people denied entry to India.

Seriously..."review OCI status of all Canadian citizens", there should be some nuance in what you write.
Most OCIs in Canada are peaceful folks who love India. The Indian Security apparatus is well aware of the troublemakers. Painting with a broad brush is what the Scamgress used to do in their times.

I don't agree. This stuff has to be responded to firmly, in order to shut it down.
If you keep turning a blind eye to those who indulge in separatist agitation, then you're giving them the opportunity stir up trouble in India and to fan any flames they can generate.
Goal of gora-sahib is to encourage brown coolies to fight with each other as much as possible.
So a firm response from Indian govt will be as much of message to gora sahib as to the khalistani sepoys.
Gora establishment will learn that they can lose their precious vote bank votes if India cuts off access to its soil.
Their games will be turned on their head.
