India and Canada ties are in a tailspin amid Justin Trudeau's allegations. It's under Trudeau's stewardship that Canada has upended its relationship with India. It chose to provide safe haven to those that India considers terrorists and has violated even the Vienna convention over the murder of a Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

Justin Trudeau is battling record-high levels of voter dissatisfaction and resentment from his own liberal party. in his ninth year in office, Trudeau is now fighting for political survival. Some reports even suggest that if elections were to be held now, the liberals may come a distant third. But why is Trudeau bending backwards to accommodate the most extreme separatist views of the Khalistanis?
