Beyond the Headlines: The India Canada Diplomatic Storm

On this week’s Mortal Giants Sandy Garossino and Vina Nadjibulla discuss the deteriorating relationship between Canada and India, a rift that became public after September 2023 when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused India of involvement in the killing of a Canadian Sikh leader in B.C. The Indian government called the accusation “absurd.” Then both governments expelled diplomats.
