And our official opposition leader has no security clearance to weigh in on the issue.

Woah.
Expelling 2/3rds of our diplomats is quite an escalation.
Like the murdering of a Canadian wasn't escalation enough.
They're embarrassed at how easily they were caught in crime.
India acting like a superpower treating Canada as a backwater satellite state of it where it can do whatever it wants irrespective of its own laws or the laws of the host country is quite concerning for everyone concerned.
To paraphrase Norm Macdonald - the worst part wasn't the escalation, it was the murderin'.
India is petty, in the wrong and now acting like a loose Cannon. Glad to see Canada take the high road.
Modi/India is committed to blindfolded-and-earplugged "strategy".
Russia is now financially-functioning ONLY because of its debt to China: China is using that to gain unofficial owning of Russia.
Russia is going to be China's vassal-state, shortly, with its oligarchs/dictator ( if he survives ) doing only what China allows them to do.
India is betting the entire survival of India on Russia provisioning it with weapons in any war against China, which is inevitable...
India is going to be gutted in the inevitable war with China, and China is going to do to India what it did to Tibet, only worse.
Churchill: "Never argue with drunks or fanatics."
Modi's only-Yes-men government, including the pseudo-journalism he allows ( or considering the actual-journalism he doesn't tolerate ), has strategic consequences, that are going to cost hundreds of millions of Indian lives, in the coming decade.
WHEN a junkie won't "get off the tracks", and you can feel the rumbling, through the rails, of the oncoming freight-train, accept that you cannot make them know other-than what they want to know .. and get away from the impending violent-destruction, so only-the-deranged get obliterated.
I'm part east Indian, and seeing the home of the Dharmic religions about to be butchered isn't good, but .. karma is karma: you earn viability, or you don't retain viability.
Krshna was right, in the Gita: uprightness is REQUIRED.
Politicians generally reject that, but ones who only allow yes-men inferiors & "journalism" .. can take entire-countries, if not regions, down with their won't-knowing devotion.
India is nearly finished as a real country.
I don't expect it to be independent-of-china in 2033.
