Why the 'respect' from Canada?

"Canada said that 'India's territorial integrity must be respected' in a statement which would be the first such after allegations by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that India was behind the murder of Khalistani separatist terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar which soured New Delhi-Ottawa relations." "He made the statement while appearing before the foreign interference commission in Ottawa." News18. "On 18 June 2023, Nijjar was shot and killed in the parking lot of a Sikh temple (Gurdwara) in British Columbia." On 18 September, Trudeau alleged that Indian agencies could be behind the assassination. wikipedia. The commission heard allegations of extensive Chinese interference in elections in Canada. "In 2021, the government of India had 'intent to interfere and likely conducted clandestine activities' including using an Indian government agent in Canada, according to an unclassified summary written by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), reported CBC." ET. So, why the semblance of an olive branch? Trudeau can afford to be statesman-like because, firstly, Canada does not need India. Canada exports 76.9% to the US, 11.4% to China and then to the UK, Japan, France and Germany. 49.2% of imports are from the US, 23% from China, 5.5% from Mexico and then from the UK, Japan and Germany. Tourism is big business and most tourists come from the US, the UK, Japan, France and Germany. Britannica. India does not figure. Secondly, the Indian government may not need Canada for trade but a lot of Indians dream of getting to Canada somehow. "Just a few years ago, getting admitted to a college in Canada would create a smooth pathway to a work permit and then permanent residency." "That smooth path to the Canadian dream has been disrupted." ET. A video showing about 3,000 Indian students "standing in a queue outside Tandoori Flame restaurant to apply for the post of waiter and servant," has gone viral on social media. ET. "Everyone dreams of a better life, in terms of educational and economic opportunities, standard of living and infrastructural development. One of the ways, Indians think they can achieve all of this is by settling abroad and one country that is at the top of their list is Canada." India Today. It's easy to blame Canada, but the real reason is the enormous unemployment problem in India since the most stringent lockdown in India in March 2020 when there were only 500 cases of Covid (HT). Since then, manufacturing growth has been stagnant, poorly paid agricultural jobs have risen, self-employment, a sign of desperation, has risen to 58.4% of the workforce and unpaid family labor is also higher, wrote Prof Santosh Mehrotra. Finally, Trudeau is relaxed because big daddy US has now taken responsibility. "After Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a Khalistani separatist, filed a civil lawsuit in US court alleging the Indian government of hatching a conspiracy to assassinate him, the District Court for the Southern District of New York issued a summons to the Indian government NDTV reported. The summons demands a response from the Indian government in 21 days." Mint. "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts," says the proverb. wikipedia. We should wonder about Trudeau's bonhomie.
