NYT writes ties were 'largely frozen’ after Trudeau’s accusations. But thaw began after a meeting between Modi & Carney last June as Canada looks for markets beyond ‘suddenly unreliable US’.
India and Canada make roadmap for cooperation, thrust on minerals and energy, as both sides agree that 'trade is cornerstone' for bilateral growth. Roadmap also for tech, AI, critical minerals.
Justin Trudeau, who sought his 15 seconds of fame by damaging ties with India to protect his own government in September 2023, undid over two decades of careful diplomacy.
Trudeau announced in January that he would step down after more than 9 years in power as his approval rating plummeted, forcing the ruling party to quickly find his successor.
The next prime minister will have to negotiate with U.S. President Trump as he threatens additional tariffs on Canada & may soon face the Conservatives in a general election.
The Canadian Prime Minister will meet with Holocaust survivors, hear their stories, remember those senselessly killed, and vow to continuously oppose antisemitism, hatred, and bigotry.
While an immediate reversal of accusations against Indian diplomats in Canada should not be expected, Canadian political parties must distance themselves from radical elements within Indian diaspora.
The oil math is skewed against the White House. The blockade has a slim chance of working. Iran can remain defiant, and China unconcerned, longer than Trump can remain solvent.
IEA projects sharp reversal from its earlier expectations, with global demand for oil in 2026 turning negative. Hormuz disruptions have pushed crude prices to $130 per barrel.
We now live in a world order that will keep shifting. India must use this window. This also means we remain disciplined enough not to be knee-jerked into reacting to what Pakistan sees as its moment in the sun.
India blundered. Canadians cooled down on their allegations and accusations only because President Trump kicked them hard on their shins. But Trump will not remain the President forever – after three years, someone else will be in that chair. US-Canada relations will be reset and the Canadians will go back to being parasites – profiting disproportionately from the US under favourable and pretty much one-sided trade deals and also enjoying the protection of the US military umbrella for free. They will have no need for India or China and, therefore, show their true colours once again. They will pick up from where they have left off and again start supporting the Khalistani secessionists and glorify these terrorists as ‘activists’.
