So you'd be chill with a bunch of white bogans moving to China then marching down the street while chanting crap about how they want a Christian nation? You're fine with the USA assassinating foreigners who say stuff they dont like? Are you on board with the Bush/Trump era anti-islamic oppression?

If India was weaker and more compliant with US demands, these stories wouldn't be getting past the editor. You can look at coverage on China in the 2000-2015 period and compare it to today.

India assasinating a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil is an example of India being strong?

There's a very big IF. It's an allegation of potential links. India neither has a policy nor a history of assassinating plumbers. There are real terrorists involved in India's 9/11 holding speeches in Pakistan every Friday. If they weren't assassinated, I doubt a Canadian plumber would be.

It's been a few months since that guy was killed and still no evidence, no charges, no suspects. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
