Event Summary

A diplomatic dispute between Canada and India continues as a former national security adviser, Vincent Rigby, and political scientist Stewart Prest express skepticism about India's claims of ceasing harmful meddling in Canadian affairs. This comes after a federal official stated confidence that such activities are no longer occurring, a sentiment widely questioned. The controversy is exacerbated by the 2023 murder of Sikh independence advocate Hardeep Singh Nijjar, for which four Indian nationals have been charged, and Canada's 2024 expulsion of Indian diplomats. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit to India aims to mend relations, but critics warn of a 'credibility gap' if Canada appears to overlook threats to its sovereignty. Both nations are working to establish security and law enforcement liaison officers, with the Canada===Royal Canadian Mounted Police strengthening ties with India's India===National Investigation Agency.
