what on earth? your theory is that the only reason that the PM of Canada is annoyed about a notionally allied country murdering someone*, in Canada, is because of parliamentary politics?

No, the theory is that the PM of Canada recognises the electoral benefits of pandering to Khalistani extremists.

  welcome to Canada. That's how it is here. Politics is corrupt in every country. The political class is not equal before the law regardless of their claims.

  > No, the theory is that the PM of Canada recognises the electoral benefits of pandering to Khalistani extremists. I've read that nonsense, along with more imaginative firehose of falsehood bulshit, on Reddit posts brigaded by accounts hellbent on attacking Canada in general and Trudeau in particular. But it really doesn't hold any water, does it? I mean, think about it for a second. The entire Sikh population of Canada barely accounts for 2% of it's whole population. Let's assume each and every Sikh is of voting age, is a voter, and never voted for Trudeau in their entire life. Let's also entertain the thought that a Canadian government decrying political assassinations in their land by agents of a foreign country is something that would otherwise be unthinkable, and that the government of a western nation would need to want to go way out of their way to object to that. Would a potential 2% bump in the polls justify all the noise? Please think about this.

    People of Jewish heritage constitute about ~2.4% of the US population. And as we know, they have zero influence on American foreign policy. /s A non-flippant response: https://theprint.in/theprint-essential/sikhs-so-powerful-in-canada-its-not-about-numbers/314036/ https://theprint.in/theprint-essential/sikhs-so-powerful-in-...

That's exactly how parliamentary politics work. NDP that has 25 seats in parliament can revoke their support and Trudeau stops being a prime minister.

So far he seems to be annoyed based on suspicions, but without evidence. His actions seem a bit rash in that situation.

Trudeau derangement syndrome is real. If tomorrow, Trudeau came out in favor of breathing oxygen, conservatives in this country would choke themselves to own the libs.
