It's already been heavily reported that Canadian officials did bring this up with Indian officials behind closed doors. India refused to assist in any way. So now the government is going public because a) Canadians deserve to know what's going on and that they're defending our sovereignty, and b) to create pressure on the Indian government.

This isn't that mysterious.

I appreciate your response. I'd already considered those reports so I can see this is just something I'll have to be in the minority on. To me, it's similar to how (as a parallel) news channels have for decades reported specific crime incidents in a more entertainment-focused fashion that doesn't help anyone, and just seems to be about titillating people who are into true crime instead of talking about overall statistical trends, expectations, &/or possible policy adjustments.

What do we, as Canadians, do with this knowledge? How does it help us or make us safer? What do Indian Canadians, travellers, and people who do business with India do with this info? Just feels like we're jumping the gun with our collective national sentiments of late, and it reminds me a lot of certain volatile eras of past history.
