Is Justin Trudeau’s resignation as Canada's PM good news for India?
FirstpostCanada’s government under Justin Trudeau has been in a prolonged spat with India since 2018. India in June 2024 slammed Canada’s Parliament observing “one minute silence” in the memory of Khalistan extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. A piece in The Times of India noted that Trudeau’s exit comes amid “heightened tension” between Canada and India over the killing of Nijjar. “The question on many minds is whether the Liberal Party will elect a new leader who continues Trudeau’s critical stance or whether a new government will seek a fresh diplomatic approach,” the piece stated. “The coming months will be crucial in determining how the leadership transition plays out and what it means for Canada’s position on the global stage, particularly in its dealings with India,” the piece concluded.
