Justin Trudeau meets his just desserts

Justin Trudeau, who resigned as Canada’s prime minister in January and was replaced by Mark Carney last week, had declared that his country was engaged in a trade war with the United States. But Trudeau himself has been accused in a war of recrimination and accusation with India.

First, he supported the farmer’s strike in India, which was led in part by Sikh peasantry. India objected to his interference in its internal matters, but Trudeua didn’t listen. He kept on supporting Khalistani (Sikh) separatists in Canada, the US, and India.

Trudeau needs a primer on Khalistan. India is a beautiful mosaic of religions, cultures, and ethnicities. The Khalistan movement reared its head in the early eighties due in part to faux pas committed by the Indira Gandhi government.

Murderous gangs led by Sikh preacher Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale killed Hindus in Punjab. The Indian government stormed the Golden Temple to evict Bhindranwale. In return, Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards. As reprisal, Sikhs were killed in Delhi and elsewhere in India.

But the Khalistani movement petered out. Today Punjab is quiet. In Manmohan Singh, India had its first Sikh prime minister and he ruled for 10 years.

Many Sikhs migrated to Canada and the US. Some of these have become quite active in fostering the Khalistani movement in India. They have met with little success in India, so they go about terrorizing Indian diplomats in the West. One such man was Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian Sikh who was at the forefront of the Khalistani movement.

Somebody—nobody knows who—killed Nijjar in 2023. Trudeau leveled accusations against India that its officials were involved and threatened to go public with his allegations at the G20 summit in Delhi in 2023 and thereby become an Indian party-pooper. Mercifully, reasonable counsel refrained him from doing so.

A report published two months ago by a Canadian commission of inquiry and headed by Canadian Commissioner Marie-Josee Hogue stated that no definitive link between Nijjar’s killing and Indian officials could be proven. Trudeau was quick to jump on his own commissioner and stated that the wording of the report was confusing.

Trudeau seems a confused person who cannot distinguish friend from foe. India is Canada’s ally, but Trudeau has made it his life’s mission to malign India. He has already been slapped on the wrist by President Xi Jinping of China. Now President Donald Trump of the US is after his blood.

It’s clear that Trump doesn’t like Trudeau. Trump wants Trudeau’s Liberal Party to lose in Canada’s upcoming elections, and instead wants the conservatives to come to power. Trump goes on and on about how he wants Canada to become America’s 51st state.

Some people assume that Canada is quite possibly as prosperous as the US, but that is simply not true. The US’s per capita GDP is 82,770 USD, while Canada’s is 53,430 USD. If Canada were to become the 51st state of the US, it would rank number 50 in statewise per capita GDP, only above the US state of Mississippi, which would be ranked  51st at a per capita GDP of 53,060 USD. Why would Trump want to amalgamate as poor a country as Canada in his union? He does not intend to do so. Instead, he wants to impose his worldview on friends and allies such as Germany and France and get them to view the world through a neo-Nazi lens. This is the same way that the Soviet Union imposed communism on Warsaw Pact countries. Prime Minister Modi of India and Prime Minister Georgia Meloni of Italy have already stamped wokism out in their respective countries. Now Trump wants to stamp out wokism in the entire world.

Trudeau has done enough damage to his country through his intemperate remarks about friends and allies. Canada exports 76% of its goods to the US. In contrast, the US exports only 17% of its goods to Canada. It’s obvious who will lose out in a trade war between the two countries. Trudeau has also stoked the fires of hatred and secessionism in a friendly country like India. His was a catastrophic rule for Canada.
