TORONTO: When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stood up in Parliament and said India may have been involved in the killing of a Canadian citizen, the muted international response offered a lesson in modern geopolitics.
India, it seems, may be too powerful to alienate.None of Canada's most important allies — not the US, Britain, Australia or New Zealand, all knitted tightly together in the 'Five Eyes' intelligence-sharing alliance — echoed Trudeau's allegations.They've declared their concern. They've urged full investigations. But none have stepped up to condemn India for its alleged involvement in the June slaying on Canadian soil of a Sikh separatist, Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
White House national security spokesman John Kirby said any reports that the US had rebuffed Canada were 'just flatly false.''We were deeply concerned by these allegations Prime Minister Trudeau laid forward and remain in regular contact with our Canadian partners,' Kirby said. 'They're investigating and that should proceed unimpeded.
