Canadian media slam Trudeau over row with India

The Canadian media and various think tanks in the country have criticised Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for making allegations against India without providing credible evidence.

Senior journalist and author John Ivison in an article published in the Canadian newspaper The Nationalist Post criticised the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for making serious statements against India without providing any evidence. He also said that Canada has allowed Sikh extremism to flourish within its borders, and that PM Trudeau has allowed “diaspora politics to unduly influence foreign policy”.

“It is very much to be hoped that the RCMP has not allowed itself to be used for such blatantly partisan purposes,” wrote Ivison.

Ivison accused Trudeau of failing to crack down on suspected Khalistani extremists living in Canada.

Daniel Bordman, a senior correspondent for the National Telegraph, tweeted on X, “Justin Trudeau again fails to provide compelling evidence to the public after escalating the tensions with India. Diplomats have been expelled, and we are still in the ‘trust me, bro’ phase. This could end up costing Canada billions in trade. All to appease Jagmeet and the gang of Khalistani ministers.”
