O Canada, O Canada ......
Holy crap even the UPA govt in 2013 denied a visa to this Jagmeet character !!
A western rep has to be seriously undesirable to get the Indian govt to do that.
Jagmeet's party posted its worst performance in 15 years yet it is the only party Trudeau can count on for support
Wait...what ?
Here he is dodging the question about the bomber from 2017 when he just took over as leader of the NDP
Jagmeet Singh needs to get it straight on the Air India bombing: Jonathan Kay | CBC | Oct 19 2017
Imagine for a moment if an American politician were asked about Osama Bin Laden, and her response was that she had no idea who was responsible for Sept. 11. She'd become instantly unelectable for dog catcher — no matter what her skin colour, or that of her interviewer. Even here in Canada, Sept. 11 conspiracy theorists have been forced out of politics, though the event was a primarily American tragedy.
Yet here we have the leader of a national Canadian political party telling us he has no idea who orchestrated our own Sept. 11 — the 1985 bombing of Air India Flight 182 — and the response among many is to scold the interviewer for insensitivity. This is insane.
The problem for Singh is that, whatever the motivations of Milewski (one of Canada's foremost journalistic experts on Flight 182), the NDP leader's responses were simply terrible. Yes, Singh delivered an eloquent denunciation of terrorist violence in general. But he pointedly refused to denounce those few extremists within Canada's Sikh community who persist in the glorification of Talwinder Singh Parmar, widely recognized as the mastermind behind the bombing.
When asked specifically about Parmar, Singh said this: "I don't know who's responsible [for the bombing] but I think we need to find out who's responsible, we need to make sure that the investigation results in a conviction of someone who is actually responsible."
My only connection with AF 182 aka Kanishk is a relative of mine lost a friend who was a flight steward on that fateful flight. I remember her telling me about this shortly after the accident. She happens to be over here now from Texas so this will be something to talk about.

Best outcome is this motley coalition cumbles and the Canadians go to the polls in a years time and get a better result.
Otherwise we will have Canadian Khalistanis to contend with
British jihadis have been dealt a thrashing
If Trump goes wobbly after this impeachment business we will have American jihadis to deal with
Canadian Khalistanis & American jihadis
Interesting combo : (Last edited by Double Edge; 30 Dec 19,, 17:14.

US, UK and Canada are very different in their political systems and the manner in which they vote. I can only speak of Canada since I am not that well informed about the US demographic electoral voting patterns and even less about the UK..
In Canada, the immigrant vote, especially the indian ex-pats, is not fixed.. There was a time in the 70s, 80s and 90s when immigrants were pretty squarely voting Liberal but not so much anymore. In the last decade itself, the Indian votes went towards kicking out the Liberals and installing Stephen Harper's Conservatives into power prior to Trudeau's ascendance and once again just last year in Ontario, Kathleen Wyne's Liberals lost all their GTA seats as the immigrant diaspora largely voted blue.. Indian ex-pats are well represented as MPs on both sides of the aisle in Canada..
His lowest draw remains Toronto with just 10k turning up
Compare with Houston 50k, MSG, 25k and his highest remains Wembley at 60k
Its a blessing that we are voting on the governennts performance rather than religion, colour or xenophobia..

High five Canada : )
Punjab CM hails Canada's rejection of Khalistani 'Referendum 2020', urges other nations to follow suit | India Today | Jul 25 2020
Amarinder Singh was reacting to a media report quoting a spokesperson of the foreign ministry of Canada, who said "Canada respects the sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of India, and the Government of Canada will not recognise the referendum."
The categorical stance taken by Canadian PM Justin Trudeau's government is exemplary and other nations should also come out openly against SFJ, CM Amarinder Singh said. He further pointed out that SFJ, branded a terrorist organisation, faces a ban in India. SFJ's founder Gurpatwant Singh Pannu was declared a terrorist after he was found guilty of actively promoting Pakistan-backed terror activities on Indian soil.
