Fourteen bullets fired at a home near Victoria. An Edmonton building torched by arsonists carrying a red jerrycan. A 39-year-old found dead in a Winnipeg duplex

The crimes are among several across Canada that were allegedly part of an Indian government campaign against activists and opponents of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

He noted that Modi had said in a speech in May, “This is the new India, the new India comes into your home to kill you.”

Well, that's not good. That's even more fascist than I'd previously read about. Awesome.

In a statement Monday, the Indian government said it “strongly rejects these preposterous imputations and ascribes them to the political agenda of the Trudeau Government that is centered around vote bank politics.”

Oh, well in that case…

At some point, Canada is gonna have to declare India an enemy and cut off diplomatic ties. I'm surprised it hasn't happened already. Maybe because a lot of manufacturing wants to move to India so they don't want to hurt trade?
