Why Are There So Many Ops in Canada?

Hi all! Happy Monday!

I was to release a new pod episode on Friday, but it’s my birthday, so no. In the meantime, I am posting my latest from The Hill Times.

OTTAWA—On Oct.14, while people were eating their Thanksgiving meal, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau held a press conference where he accused the Indian government of “supporting a campaign of violence against Canadians on Canadian soil,” including homicides. The RCMP maintains that the Indian government poses a threat to Canadian safety; they have “identified serious issues of violent extremists working in both India and Canada; the use of organized crime to create perceptions of unsafe environments and target people in the South Asian community in Canada; and interference in democratic processes,” as reported by CBC News. The PM further informed the global community that the government expelled six Indian diplomats, accused of illegally collecting information on South Asian communities, and linked to the 2023 murder of Sikh independence advocate Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

Wow. Mic drop.
