Canada’s Reversal on India before Carney Visit: Modi’s Role

Canadian police in Surrey, Vancouver warned Sikh activist Moninder Singh of a threat to his life and his family, citing a confidential informant. Singh, who had ties to a slain Sikh activist, was informed of the risk ahead of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s visit to India. This development signals a shift in Canada’s approach to India under Carney, who aims to strengthen foreign relations amid tensions with the US. The relationship between Canada and India had soured under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, particularly after the killing of the Sikh activist in 2023. The incident led to accusations of foreign interference and strained diplomatic ties. However, Carney’s leadership may bring about a thaw in relations between the two countries.
