Michael Rubin Criticizes Trudeau Amid India-Canada Diplomatic Tensions

In Washington, DC, a diplomatic conflict between India and Canada has escalated, with accusations flying over Canada's alleged support for violent extremists. Michael Rubin, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, criticized Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, suggesting that Canada's crisis arises whenever Trudeau faces political challenges. Rubin compared the Canadian evidence against India to conspiracy theories surrounding JFK's assassination.

Rubin emphasized that India must defend itself, pointing out that Canada's accusations lack substantial evidence. He noted that the Canadian government seems to blame India for issues related to organized crime, which India had previously warned Canada about. Rubin also highlighted attacks on India's San Francisco consulate by Sikh extremists, indicating the complexity of the situation.

India recently expelled six Canadian diplomats, citing the Trudeau government's support for extremism and violence. The Indian government expressed concerns over the safety of its diplomats in Canada and criticized Trudeau's hostility towards India. The diplomatic row intensified after Trudeau accused India of involvement in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, allegations India has denied.
