Incredible escalations. One can only hope Trudeau does the same back and fuck up Canada but unfortunately I think he's nowhere near dumb enough to do that. Doesn't fit his platform and would destroy his already tiny chances of winning the next election
I can't imagine how doing a very liberal "Those brown people can't come into our country and break the rules!" finger-wag at India will hurt Trudeau.
America: "Hey Canada, we're going to seize a couple of your residents and disappear them into Gitmo for a few years, cool?"
Canada: "Ah, yeah bro. No problem, aye."
India: "Oh, is that cool? Great. We're sending in the marines to wack a guy leading a seperatist movement."
Canada: "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Wrong kinda Aryans there, champ. Yer gonna hafta apologize or somethin'."

Probably the western alliance wants to develop a fifth column within India while the USA as the main player remains friends with Modi.
The west is a multi-headed hydra and the US can keep playing India as an ally against China while Canada becomes the safe haven of the anti-Modi resistance.
I don't think it's that. Khalistani secessionists don't have the kind of legitimacy that would be helpful to that end.
Also, Canada pissing off India doesn’t exactly warm relations between India and the collective west
