That is ironic coming from a Canadian. Just recently, a lot of money poured in from Canada to support the farmer protest in India. Here is one example: https://

  As a matter of principle I agree with you, however there is also a large Indian diaspora in Canada and it's quite possible most of that money was donated by Indians; it doesn't make a lot of sense for a Canadian living in the US to donate the money from a US account though.

  As an Indian, this double standard was the most amusing thing for me in all these. When farmers in India protested, Canadian PM himself supported them (probably because he wanted the Sikh community votes?). Indian government only used police officers with batons and were sometimes chased away by the protesters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1qFKUtfvMc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1qFKUtfvMc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7so5TwIMyM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7so5TwIMyM Then yesterday I saw videos of heavily armed RCMP officers deployed to remove some of the blockades!
