i thought india recalled its diplomats itself because of canada's accusations. accusations which are conveniently timed to take over the news cycle from the prime minister & staff being called again to testify in the foreign interference commission inquiry where we keep hearing about incompetence and stories from different government members that cannot all be simultaneously true.   > for example they are calling for killing of indians leaders. how's that fair? by doing it in non-english it allows the government apparatus to be selectively incompetent.   > you have to do something about your govt, change it! the most likely path forwards is through provincial sovereignty via either alberta, saskatchewan, or quebec. it's why quebec gets showered with gibs and the prairies get showered with mass media propaganda to try to keep them just politically unstable enough, just almost 50% of the votes to win enough, to have trouble pulling off sovereignty measures. canada has gone through successive phases of centralization of power, both explicit and less so, which makes challenging how the federal government functions a non-starter. double digits of government mps who are upset with the direction of the country can do nothing but whisper among each other in private. in a functional open democracy they should be able to organize a public faction regarding their concerns and have their own party leadership seek their support, but that's not how canada works anymore.   is that different from other embassies in canada especially in vancouver? pic related seems to be the order of the day whenever canadian policing runs up against establishment interests of any stripe. doesn't help when it seems like even a thorough investigation's upside is limited in the best case to providing evidence for some mild wrist slaps as punishment. i think the american way of hammering down hard with the law is better.
