- rewmie 3y ago> 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.

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-...
