Canada

The Conservative leader has called on Trudeau to “come clean” about the evidence behind the allegation against India, saying Canadians deserve more facts.

Singh said Tuesday he does not support that call.

“They’re matters of national security and so information cannot be released beyond the general statements that were released,” he said.

Oh look, Poilievre's taking childish populist shots while Singh is acting like a grown-up. What a surprise.

Poilievre has so far rejected getting the clearance needed

Of course he's gonna complain about it instead of getting his clearance to review the material and make a well-informed complaint about it.

Top-Secret security clearances should be mandatory for all party leaders and deputy leaders.

Pierre Poilievre is a coward.

I never expected Canada and India would be primary belligerents in WW3.... who's making these bingo cards anyway?

If pp would quit being a fucking child and just get his security clearance he could read the intelligence briefing too.

Out of all of Canada’s party leaders, In trust this Guy’s take, substantially more than the other two. ‘Millhouse’ being the least trusted one.

I think Singh weighing in adds a lot of credibility to Trudeau actions

What I don't understand is even if this "clear intelligence" is 100% confirmed and not Canada's low key version of "weapons of mass destruction," why is this playing out over public channels like a reality TV show? With diplomatic norms in mind, I would expect this is the kind of thing that should be discussed behind closed doors only (not leaving out families involved) until/unless proven in the courts.

Is there some reason I'm not thinking of that tensions should be stoked even if there is still a chance they can be averted? Normally this kind of info would only be revealed if there was a case being made for a certain plan of action, but it's pointed out in the article that the investigation is underway. What is the goal of disseminating this?

Quote of the US Ambassador, from the article:

He said he does not generally comment on “private diplomatic conversations,” but added: “There was a lot of communication between Canada and the United States about this, and I think that’s as far as I’m comfortable going.”

While details are classified, this just sounds like gossip. :/
