betsy

There's so much at stake here. India has always been a friend. And trading partner.

No, we don't have to extradite if we don't have the treaty for that. But .......we are also responsible for our own citizens. Just because we pride ourselves as democratic, doesn't give us any right to INTERFERE, let alone our citizens commit terrorist acts with impunity! All we know is what Trudeau is saying right now! Where are the evidence? How come other nations aren't pointing any finger directly at INDIA government? We do know though, that INTERPOL has this Sikh leader on its list, as a terrorist. And this individual's application to come to Canada has been rejected so many times! THERE HAS TO BE A REASON FOR ALL THOSE REJECTIONS!

No, you're not welcome here to kill anyone who has wronged you. But it should be that our citizens are not FREE to commit terrorisms in other countries. If Canada does an injustice by protecting terrorists - then I think victims of terrorisms, can exact their own kind of justice. :shrug:

Let's not be too quick to jump to conclusions. For all we know, this is another distraction! Getting the whole nation to jump on board and stand behind TRUDEAU.........against INDIA's government. Lol - forget the inflation now even larger. forget the housing crisis, etc.., This thing with India could very well dominate the news for quite a while. It gives the Trudeau media something to turn the page with.

Irrelevant! Unless you want to declare war on India, based on all that! We've been a haven for terrorists (usual target being the USA) - that's a fact! According to Global news! He was accused of being involved in the 2007 bombing of a cinema in Punjab. A 2016 Interpol notice against him alleged he was a “key conspirator” in the attack. He was accused of recruiting and fundraising, a charge that Nijjar vehemently denied. My point: if a Canadian citizen is interfering in any way to the politics in other countries, and Canada protects them - wouldn't that constitute to the same thing we're complaining about: FOREIGN INTERFERENCE. Except that this time, we are the ones doing it? There could be more to this than meets the eye.

I've just read this about the murdered individual: In 1997, Nijjar came to Canada, claiming he had been beaten and tortured by Indian police. In 1998, his refugee claim was denied. According to his immigration records, he used a fraudulent passport that identified him as “Ravi Sharma.” “I know that my life would be in grave danger if I had to go back to my country, India,” he wrote in his affidavit, dated June 9, 1998. His application was rejected, and 11 days later Nijjar married a B.C. woman who sponsored him to immigrate as her spouse. On his application form, he was asked whether he was associated with a group that used or advocated “armed struggle or violence to reach political, religious or social objectives.” He said “no,” but immigration officials considered it a marriage of convenience and rejected Nijjar’s application. Nijjar appealed to the courts and lost in 2001, but he later identified himself as a Canadian citizen. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada declined to comment to Global News at the time of that report, citing privacy legislation. In 2014, a few months after India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a Hindu nationalist, took office, Indian authorities issued an arrest warrant for Nijjar. New Delhi described Nijjar as the “mastermind” of the militant group Khalistan Tiger Force. He was accused of being involved in the 2007 bombing of a cinema in Punjab. A 2016 Interpol notice against him alleged he was a “key conspirator” in the attack. He was accused of recruiting and fundraising, a charge that Nijjar vehemently denied. https://globalnews.ca/news/9969537/who-is-hardeep-singh-nijjar/

I'm not saying, send them packing. I'm saying - shouldn't we have rules about this? Do we make any political issue in another country - like, an ideology that doesn't agree with us - our own battle? Just because we got dragged into it by Canadian citizens who came from another country? Nations go through political upheavals. When do we poke our noses in, and meddle? It's one thing to say "respect our sovereignty"......and yet, we somehow meddle - in an underhanded way - in other nation's own sovereignty. It is kinda underhanded if activists or those who want to change the government in another country, do their planning and operations here - letting them hide behind the skirt of our "freedom of speech." We don't want anyone inciting violence in our own country. Would it be okay for our citizens to incite violence in another country? We "poke" others we don't agree with........and we cry foul when we catch their attention....... and they respond the way they know how.

Is Canada a haven for activists of foreign origin in making Canada their ground of operation in fighting their foreign war? Not too long ago - I woke up to news happening in Calgary(?) two opposing political factions from the country of Erithrea (Africa) having their own war on the streets! Why are these immigrants bringing their baggage here? If we're okay with these - then, we better be ready to be embroiled on so many different squabbles with many different nations!

I get it that a Canadian citizen - a Sikh leader - got assassinated on Canadian soil. This Canadian citizen is trying to topple the current government in India. Do we need this? Why the heck are we embroiled with the politics happening in INDIA? Our diplomatic (and trade relationship) is on the line. OVER WHAT? That's what I want to know and understand!

Sorry. I must've overlooked it.

He is really an embarassment. Nobody's taking him seriously in the world stage. For the second time in his tenure, an official trip to India by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has become defined by a cascading series of gaffes, snubs and diplomatic embarrassments. “Trudeau’s India Agony,” was how India’s Hindustan Times summed up the visit. The English-language NewsX cable channel, meanwhile, ran a nine-minute segment denouncing Trudeau as an ignorant hypocrite. “Like any good Punjabi I have family in Canada, and I promise you that the nonsense that you’re talking is emanating from sheer hubris,” said anchor Rishabh Gulati. “What do we do with this man?” https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/first-reading-trudeau-s-positively-disastrous-trip-to-india/ar-AA1gBfA6

Poilievre's under Trudeau's skin! ?

Poilievre's got his own style. After so many years in politics - he still managed to maintain his sense of humor.

Poilievre really hammered him. Trudeau can't answer a simple question. Let's not forget who's keeping Trudeau in power! JAGMEET SINGH!

What threat to democracy are you on about? You mean how we're being censored now? We can't voice our personal opinion? Our mainstream media decides what we have to see/hear and what not? kinda like China...... What are you so upset abut? The OP photo is misleading. Like as if that's all the what greeted Trump! What about those who cheered for him in that same place? That's been unmentioned. That would be taking a page from............. FAKE NEWS media! ?

@robosmith @Nationalist Okay. Now we know its real. AND? What about it? I think you and @Rebound are thrilled more with the finger more than anything else. FACT: there will be Trump haters. Lol - that's why I'm hoping for a Trump win....................... ...........................just to see how much of a meltdown lefties will have, next time around! ?

It was a mixed crowd. Donald Trump Loudly Booed and Cheered by Iowa Football Crowd https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-booed-cheered-iowa-football-crowd-1825815

Is that photo for real........or, has it been tweaked? You do know that we can't trust all photos we see? I think Lefties' photo might've been faked. Anyway - is it surprising that there would be anti-Trumps? There were pro-Trumps too.
