"Canada and India's Diplomatic Fallout: Expulsions and Accusations Over Sikh Leader's Killing"

Canada and India have engaged in tit-for-tat diplomatic expulsions following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations that India was involved in the state-sponsored assassination of Sikh independence advocate Hardeep Singh Niijar in Canada. Trudeau stood firm on the accusations, describing them as "extremely serious" and warning of "far-reaching consequences" in international law. The expulsions have escalated tensions between the two countries, potentially impacting bilateral trade talks. The United States expressed concern and backed Canada's investigation, while the UK called for India's cooperation. India accused Canada of giving safe haven to Sikh extremists, while prominent Indian figures criticized Trudeau. The revelations come amid a public inquiry into foreign interference in Canada, with calls to include India in the investigation.

Canadian Minister Warns of Possible Increase in 'Chinese Police Stations' in Canada

Canada's Public Safety Minister, Marco Mendicino, has said that there may be more "Chinese police stations" operating in the country, months after police began investigating whether two community centers in Montreal were being used to intimidate or harass Canadians of Chinese origin. Mendicino assured that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have taken action to disrupt any foreign interference and will continue to do so if new police stations are found. This follows tit-for-tat diplomatic expulsions by Ottawa and Beijing, with Canada's government under pressure to clamp down on suspected Chinese interference and call a public inquiry into the matter.

Canada stands firm against China amidst diplomatic dispute.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has stated that Canada will not be intimidated by China following the recent diplomatic expulsions by both countries. The row between the two countries has been ongoing since the detention of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou in 2018 and Beijing's subsequent arrest of two Canadians on spying charges. Some fear that the latest flare-up could have economic repercussions for Canada, as China is Canada's second-biggest trading partner after the United States. However, a former Canadian ambassador to China believes that China is unlikely to resort to economic sanctions as it is trying to reassure foreign companies that they can work there after draconian COVID-19 restrictions were dropped.

Canada Confronts China Over Alleged Political Interference and Harassment.

Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said that Canada is considering taking retaliatory action against China, including diplomatic expulsions. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service found that Chong and his relatives in China were targeted for harassment by an accredited Chinese diplomat, and that Beijing had tried to sway the outcome of Canada's federal elections in 2019 and 2021. China denies interfering in Canadian political affairs.
