Not only that, but Canada has proven its firm hand on this. When China went apeshit after Meng Wanzhou's arrest in Canada to extradite her to the USA, Canada stuck to its guns. Even after two Canadians were taken hostage by the Chinese government in a retaliatory arrest, Meng stayed under arrest with her extradition going forward, while the rest of the world (including Modi's India) politely looked the other way rather than angering China.

India cannot possibly claim they couldn't have gotten results from Canada if they'd gone through the legal system.

Why would India get in the way of China - Canada diplomatic relations.

India is claiming that, Kanishka bombing is a great read for Canadians who have forgotten their history and who actually they are shielding.

Hardeep Singh Nijjar was born 11 October 1977.

Air India Flight 182 was bombed 23 June 1985.

How are they related?

Uhh, the Khalistan separatists bombed the Air India flight. Canada's justice system failed to convict a single person for that bombing, which killed 329 people, including 268 Canadians, 27 Britons, 22 Indians, and 12 others. So much for the credibility of Canadian justice. This is in spite of repeated warnings by the Indian govt. Trudeau (current PM's father) refused to cooperate, citing that India no longer accepted the Queen as its sovereign (How the hell was that related, as a refusal? Canada's own official records literally show this.)
