Tired of Trudeau: Why Canadians are not willing to trust their PM
Justin Trudeau is finding it hard to convince Canadians about India's alleged link to the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen, in Canada last year. His latest move to brand Indian High Commissioner to Canada as a «person of interest» in the Nijjar probe comes with the same vague allegations he made against India last year. "...we started to understand through intelligence agencies that India was possibly if not probably, behind Nijjar's killing...," Trudeau said on Monday, while accusing the Indian government of supporting criminal activities in Canada. «Possibly if not probably» is same as the claim of «credible allegations» Trudeau made last year.
Besides his vague allegations against India as he tries to pander to his Khalistani Sikh votes before an impending election, Trudeau has another problem: in the nine years as the Canadian PM, he has lost credibility and is widely expected to lose the next election. His desperation to throw India-Canada ties under the bus to retain support of his Khalistani vote bank seems all the more clumsy when he has landed in a political quicksand and thinks he can distract Canadians' attention from his own multi-crisis which include a coup brewing in his own caucus and corruption allegations.
