It's easy to understand the feeling that when you move to the new world you should leave old world politics behind.
Are you consistent with this view though? It's a difficult thing to do. During the Great Hunger in Ireland would it have been wrong for the Irish diaspora to advocate economic reforms in Ireland?
Was Canada right to refuse entry to Jews fleeing Europe in 1939?
I'm not in a position to comment on the probability of the khalistan movement succeeding in the creation of an independent state. I don't like the idea of ethno-states and non-secular government but I'm sympathetic to people advocating for the right to self determination.
So why are you applauding India killing Canadians?
People like us?
You realize that we're talking about someone that WAS (allegedly) killed for their resolve right? Is that the irony you were referencing in your original comment?
Canada does have anti terrorism laws so if he was violating those he should have been prosecuted, but I'm not on board with Canadians being killed for exercising their rights to free speech. India accused him of some pretty serious stuff, why couldn't they get Canada to prosecute him?
I appreciate your breaking everything down, I suppose I'm having a delayed reaction to the story of the father in downtown Vancouver that was stabbed to death by one such "Khalistani" and I think thats one to many deaths on their account.
Some googling suggests to me that you're talking about the murder of Paul Schmidt by Inderdeep Gosal.
I couldn't find anything firmly linking him to Khalistani independence movements. But I did see this article suggesting there is a smear campaign against Sikhs/Khalistanis.
Also my 5 minutes of research suggested that he came here as a young child. So I don't think he came here for the purpose of agitating for an independent Khalistan from the safety of Canada.
