Canada gets only muted allied support in its faceoff with India over slain activist

LA Times  

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi meet during the G-20 summit in New Delhi. None of Canada’s most important allies — not the U.S., Britain, Australia or New Zealand, all knitted tightly together in the “Five Eyes” intelligence-sharing alliance — echoed Trudeau’s allegations. A day later — and after India ramped up the confrontation by itself expelling a top Canadian diplomat — Trudeau toned down the rhetoric, telling reporters that Canada was “not looking to provoke or escalate.” Trudeau “tempers criticism as allies decline to condemn India over slain Sikh leader,” read the front-page headline Wednesday in Canada’s Globe and Mail newspaper. White House national security spokesman John Kirby said any reports that the U.S. had rebuffed Canada were “just flatly false.” “We were deeply concerned by these allegations Prime Minister Trudeau laid forward and remain in regular contact with our Canadian partners,” Kirby said. But “the U.S. has larger interests.” If Trudeau’s accusations are correct, he said, it also shows that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government is not “restrained by an innate sense of rule of law or a commitment to democracy.” “This is the same kind of thing that Putin does,” he said, referring to enemies of Russian President Vladimir Putin who have been killed in Russia and abroad, including in Britain.
