Things heating up between Canada and India. Some serious diplomatic [View all]

ninja stuff going on regarding the Liberal's relationship to Sikh Canadians. Jasmeet Singh, a Sikh, was just elected to the leadership of the New Democratic Party nationally. He refused to take a stand against a Sikh terrorist supporters when asked by the press a few months ago. Trudeau has many Sikhs in his cabinet and so both the Liberal's and NDP are jockeying for position to be favoured by the 500 thousand voting Sikh Canadians that make up 1.4% of Canada's population (At Issue Panel - CBC). Now Trudeau is visiting India and someone in his entourage invited a convicted attempted murderer of an Indian politician visiting canada and alleged public figure assaulter of sikh heritage in Canada to an event in India. How did this horrid Canadian get into India? He was on a blacklist/noflylist. Did India set Trudeau up as people in the Canadian government are suggesting? To embarrass Trudeau and the Liberal's or to put down the Sikhs in power in Canada? Trudeau did say on his trip to Washington to meet Obama that he "had more Sikhs in his cabinet than Modi did". This is knife in the back type diplomacy. This is ugly. Better it comes out into the open I guess.
