Trudeau says 'fight' with India is not something Canada wants right now

Speaking from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. on Friday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that India had violated the Vienna Convention, the 1961 United Nations (UN) agreement that protects diplomatic officers, by threatening to strip Canadian emissaries and their family members of their diplomatic immunity last month. The escalation prompted Global Affairs to direct 41 of its diplomats and their dependents to leave the country.

"That is of concern to countries around the world," Trudeau said, adding that the stakes of the dispute are high. "If a given country can just decide that the diplomats of another country are no longer protected, that makes international relations more dangerous and more serious."

"If might starts to make right again, if bigger countries can violate international law without consequences, then the whole world gets more dangerous for everyone," he added.

“Every step of the way, we have tried to work constructively and positively with India,” Trudeau continued. “This is not a fight we want to be having right now, but we will unequivocally, always stand up for the rule of law, because that’s who Canada is.”

For India, Canada is a land of non law abiding former Indian citizens, who migrated to Canada and took Canadian citizenship and are now trying to Indulge in Indian matters and attacking Indian institutions and missions using freedom of speech.. Diplomacy cannot be one sided Mr. Trudeau

[runaldutta]

Modi never even once replied to Trudeau. Like never. Only the ministers replied on behalf of India. That's what Canadian PM means to us

[firstsparkle]

It has been more than 1 month, still "credible allegations" Couldn't become " Credible evidences"... .. I think, canada deserve to be led by adults...

[Buckshot]

He made the India thing public on the first parliament session after the summer to deflect from his own shortcomings. It’s a self inflicted error brought on by his own selfishness.

Is support of terrorism allowed under the international law?

'Rule of Law'😂😂😂

By now even the Canadian citizens know that Nijjar was not just a humble plumber 😂😅😅

[itachiofthesharingan]

Nijjar was a great plumber... Once, I had a blockage in my sink, and a friend recommended him to me. To my surprise, Nijjar showed up at my house with a toolbox full of the most unconventional tools I'd ever seen. He had a flamethrower, a chainsaw, a Russian assault rifle, an RPG and even a pneumatic cannon. I asked him why he needed such dangerous tools, and he said, "For tough jobs, you need tough tools."
He fixed the blockage in seconds, but unfortunately, I lost my house in the process. So now I'm homeless. But anyway, RIP Nijjar, human rights activist and part-time plumber.

[ananthvas]

Canada is a country that stands up for the rule of Law.... tell that to the families of the victims of Air India Flight 182, who are still waiting for Justice.

[idmanq]

Western international laws applies to certain countries. Hypocrisy.

[murphygirlBC]

YOU DID THIS TRUDEAU BUT ALWAYS BLAME OTHERS FOR YOUR FAILURES

[linthoi]

Teacher: Write a 1000 word essay with “Rule of Law” and “Credible Allegations”

JUSTINDER: Say no more !!

[nishith]

Every time he comes on the TV it's like a standup comedy set.

[Sumit-twtg]

Reporter(to Trudeau): Do you still have allegations or any single piece of proof against India…?
Trudeau: mmh….uhhh…mmmh… you know … mmmhhhh… forget proof, just remember “ Canada is a country of RULE OF LAWWWW”

[longhornfinch]

Yep, India did the right thing, India also have serious reason to believe canada is actively supporting seperatists under the guise of freedom of speech.

[omkarrudradev]

A head of state says “credible allegations” and goes on to make scathing statements. What a joke. Do Canadians not question him at all?

[YukiPyro]

Trudeau picked a fight with India and we in Canada are laughing at Trudeau. Im sure Modi can see that Canadians dont like Trudeau. 😅

[shakyjake]

Unpopular opinion, He doesn't want a fight with India only because there are so many moving to Canada (except Quebec, imagine that) and hopes they'll vote for him. That's all.

Air India 182 happened under Trudeau leadership (his Father) if I remember right, a topic that should be covered more to put things in perspective. More proof that nobody from Quebec should be anywhere near the governing body of this country.

He needs to be gone yesterday. Humiliation after humiliation for the country I have called home all my life. I am a shamed that we're even more of an embarrassment on the international stage.
