In a significant turn of events, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has found himself in the hot seat regarding allegations of foreign interference in Canada’s internal politics. During a session before an ongoing federal inquiry, Trudeau shifted the focus onto the Conservative Party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India, following the questionable killing of a Sikh separatist activist in India. The Prime Minister accused the Conservatives of not properly addressing the interference issue, citing an example where Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre declined a security clearance to gain insights into party members potentially influenced or compromised by foreign entities.
Trudeau's comments, viewed as an effort to counteract growing criticism of his government, included a warning that intelligence indicates potential foreign manipulation of members across all parties. In response to his remarks, the Conservative Party's legal representative accused Trudeau of seeking the limelight at the expense of constructive dialogue. The situation has ignited a wave of political uproar as Canada navigates these complex international relations, underscoring the current throes of a potentially fraught diplomatic relationship with India.
