That doesn't really matter. What matters is that he was in Canada at the time.

I can see your point, but still feel that his being a citizen compounds the issue.

Bin Laden was in Afghanistan, and then later in Pakistan. The US didn't inform or take permission from Pakistan to send in SEAL Team 6 to kill him. Nijjar was wanted for the murder of 6 innocent people in a cinema hall bombing in Punjab, India.

Nijjar was wanted

As in, was a suspect? I assume he was never tried?

The US didn’t inform or take permission from Pakistan to send in SEAL Team 6 to kill him.

Yes, the US gets to throw their weight around because nobody wants to go to war against them. It doesn't make it right.
