Canada's Justin the Unwise, Accuses India of Murder, Nobody to Know the Evidence

Sensing that the public is finally tiring of his lies, exhibitionism and petulant antics, Justin the Unwise, Prime Minister of global pipsqueak Canada, has embarked on a diplomatic war with India, a country that accounts for one in four of the World's population. 

For what reason?

A sikh "leader"  -- i.e., an advocate for the creation of an independent Sikh state to be carved out of India's Punjab -- and a Canadian citizen, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, was murdered in British Columbia. Trudeau claims to have "credible evidence" that the murder was carried out by an agent or agents of the Government of India. 

Trudeau's "credible evidence" may indeed be credible if not invincible proof of guilt. But in that case, why not demand the extradition of the supposed assassin(s) under the terms of the Canada - India extradition treaty, for trial with due process in Canada? India's agreement to extradite would allow the credibility of Trudeau's "credible evidence" to publicly examined. 

An Indian refusal to extradite would be tantamount to an Indian admission of responsibility, the point Trudeau seeks to make, while denying India justification for the retaliatory measures it is now taking. And let there be no mistake, India's retaliatory measures will undermine Canada's trade with the World's most populous nation, a nation that accounts for a large share of the World's economy and with an economy growing twice as rapidly as Canada's.

But for stupid, especially when facing the prospect of electoral defeat, we can rely on our Justin. Sikhs, after all, represent over two percent of Canada's population, hold 18 Parliamentary seats and occupy four posts in the Liberal Government.

Zero Hedge: An unprecedented major row in Canada-India relations has broken out into the open on Monday, after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a televised speech to the House of Commons accused Indian intelligence of carrying out an extrajudicial killing on Canadian soil.

Trudeau cited "credible" intelligence pointing to "agents of the government of India" as being behind the June murder of a prominent Sikh leader named Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was shot dead outside a Sikh temple in Surrey, British Columbia.

Epoch Times: In retaliation for Canada linking India with the killing of a B.C. man, the Indian government has now put a stop to the processing of visas for Canadians and says it requested a reduction of Canadian diplomats in the country.

“We have informed the Canadian government that there should be parity in strength and rank equivalents ... in mutual diplomatic presence,” Indian Ministry of External Affairs spokesman Arindam Bagchi told reporters on Sept. 21.
