Thank You, Justin Trudeau!

It's a Trudeau again.

When it comes to ruining relationships with important players on the global stage, the family seems to have mastered a template.

Before the current fracas with India, Justin Trudeau picked up a fight with China, with Meng Wanzhou of Huawei being detained in the most hilarious fashion.

Though all Canadian authorities could ultimately do was to give her a free pass to move around in Canada at will, even as Canadian citizens remained in Chinese jails on bogus charges. All because 'rule of law' was important.

However, rule of law is a subjective entity for Justin Trudeau, just like it was for his father Pierre. Because it doesn't seem to apply when it comes to terrorists and subversionists.

Like his father secured the to-be Kanishka bombers that killed Canadian citizens, Justin too seems keen on harbouring terrorists who have made parts of Canada lawless.

This arbitrary approach of Trudeau towards law and order was visible during the 2022 truckers' protest. At that time, Trudeau's government didn't shy away from detaining protestors, freezing their bank accounts and censuring media houses.

Providing support to terrorists and shelter to extremists for vote bank politics is a phenomenon we in India are all too familiar with. It is for this reason that we see through the hypocrisy of Trudeau's response to Hardeep Singh Nijjar's killing, which, in all likelihood, was carried out by Khalistanis themselves on the orders of their paycheque masters.

This is also evident in the way Trudeau's political ally and Khalistan promoter, Jagmeet Singh, has behaved, almost on cue, to condemn India.

Of course, it is important for both to hide their dismal governance records. As a way out, both are resorting to typical vote bank politics, hoping to blend it with national rhetoric for potential gains in the upcoming midterms.

The fact though is this. Canada's international stature has taken a hit. On the diplomatic front, India responded swiftly and strongly even as reports emerged that Australia, the UK and the US had declined to join forces with Canada for blaming Nijjar's death on India.

Clearly, this was something Trudeau was not prepared for, as we have seen a rather ballistic minister of his government being silent since then. 

What next for the Trudeau's administration? Will it stop the entry of Indian citizens into their country?

Funnily enough, the only people, apart from Indians, who seek to enter Canada in substantial numbers are the Chinese. But Chinese immigrants bring their own problems, given how sections of them caused housing bubbles and drug addiction pandemic in Canada, problems that Canada has no answer to. 

Or it is the Khalistanis themselves. As more Khalistan supporters reach Canada, it would only accentuate the problem, making it impossible for any government to walk back from where Trudeau has brought them.

Votebank politics will mean that Canada loses out on any trade agreements or arrangements with the world's largest market.

For the Khalistanis, who don't hesitate to run an immigration racket of the most tragicomic nature, Canada is the land that is Khalistan, where they can fulfil their dream of being a thug in Brampton, Ontario or in Surrey, BC.

Afterall, their thuggery gets a shield of votebank politics unlike in India, as they cover it with the cloak of Dharam.

This thuggery, be it in the form of tableaus of Indira Gandhi's assassination of glorification of dreaded terrorists like Talwinder Parmar in Baisakhi melas, festers.

It even gets rewarded in the form of power, when Khalistanis and key supporters get appointed to places that directly impact security and foreign policy. 

But when did any of this ever matter to Trudeau and his coterie? For a man who cultivated an image of himself as liberal statesman, all that has surfaced is entitlement, sanctimony, and malevolence.

He didn't hesitate to run his country's economy to the ground but at least the pronouns of "she-cession" were appropriate in his world view. 

He didn't hesitate to sermonise despite getting a tick off at G20 amid the isolation, sharing this privilege with the Chinese delegation, who incidentally also have nothing positive to say about him.

He didn't hesitate before creating an unprecedented diplomatic crisis, linking a crime in Canada to its international relations. Never mind that another person, Ripudaman Malik, was killed in a similar fashion last year, and his case remains directionless. Is it because he threatened to open the can of worms on Khalistanis in Canada?

No, I don't feel angry with Justin Trudeau really. I feel happy rather — the gloves are finally off, and the mask has dropped. We get to see who our friends in Canada are (if there are any), and how insignificant Canada is today due to Trudeau's shenanigans.

So thank you Justin Trudeau, for shattering the myth of being a friend of India. Your so called global responsibility, a glimpse we saw in your COVID vaccine hoarding days as well, is more than evident to everyone.

You can dance balle balle as much as you want, dressing up like a clown, but you won't be able to sway people in India. They see through you, for what you are — a petty man undeserving of posts of power.
