Balanced News: Canada’s Sikhs Grateful, and Afraid, After Trudeau’s India Allegations

Canadian Sikhs are grateful to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for speaking out about their fears and standing up to India regarding the killing of a Sikh separatist leader. The Indian government denies involvement in the killing, but Canadian Sikhs remain unconvinced. Trudeau’s actions have led to a backlash from India, including the expulsion of diplomats and a travel warning for Canadians. The tensions with India have overshadowed Trudeau’s attempts to address cost-of-living concerns and have affected his popularity in opinion polls. Canada is home to a large Sikh population, and Sikhs have significant political representation in the country.
