Well the other shoe now fell. Australia is broaching India undermining Canadian sovereignty now. Just like I predicted a week ago. All these countries speak in one voice. Canada is not alone in the West.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Australia’s foreign minister said Tuesday she raised
allegations with her Indian counterpart that India has targeted Sikh activists in Canada.
Foreign Minister Penny Wong said she discussed the Canadian allegations with Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar while he was in the Australian capital, Canberra.
India has denied Canada’s allegation that Indian Home Minister Amit Shah ordered the targeting of Sikh activists inside Canada.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police
went public last with allegations that Indian diplomats were targeting Sikh separatists in Canada by sharing information about them with their government back home. They said top Indian officials were then passing that information along to Indian organized crime groups who were targeting the activists, who are Canadian citizens, with drive-by shootings, extortions and even murder.
Canada is not the only country that
has accused Indian officials of plotting an assassination on foreign soil. The United States Justice Department announced criminal charges in mid-October against an Indian government employee in connection with an alleged foiled plot to kill a Sikh separatist leader living in New York City.
