Canada and India plan to share intelligence in an effort to combat the rising threat of international crime and extremism, according to a new report from Bloomberg, days before a meeting between the two countries’ leaders.

Canadian officials declined to comment on the report, which, if confirmed, would represent a dramatic shift in relations between the two countries which for nearly two years have been locked in a bitter diplomatic spat after Canada’s federal police agency concluded that India planned and ordered the murder a prominent Sikh activist on Canadian soil.

Under the intelligence-sharing deal, which is expected to be announced during the G7 summit in Canada later this week, police from both countries will increase cooperation on transnational crime, terrorism and extremist activities. Canada has reportedly pushed for more work on investigations into extrajudicial killings.

Will India tell us ahead of time when they plan to assassinate Canadians?

Canada doesn't have a terrible amount of respect for itself does it. So much virtue signaling with little action or actual care for the life of its citizens.

Fucking disgusting. We shouldn’t be negotiating and cooperating with terrorists.

That Beaverton article wasn't too far off the mark, was it?

Not a fan of this... they cross too many lines domestically here in Canada to share intelligence with in my opinion

This is the one I'm talking about, and I originally heard it from an Indian source. CBC seems like a generally balanced Canadian news outlet

So if we divide the Indian community into two exclusive parts, those involved/named in crimes like assaults, vandalism etc and those who aren't - then the Canadian cops aren't doing their job of maintaining law and order by arresting the criminals, the Indian government is asking the Canadians to maintain law and order by arresting the criminals, then what here makes the Indian government unworthy of your intelligence lol. The part that you have a problem with, is the same part the Indian government has a problem with. Wasn't there recently a huge bust of some trucking companies with the RCMP? That's what they should be doing more of, and what I think will improve Canadian lives and Indo-Canadian ties

This was still an extrajudicial killing of a Canadian citizen by a foreign government. It doesn't matter what he did wrong.

[–] bomibantai@lemmy.world -3 points 19 hours ago

Right, and you have proof that it was the Indian government? Feel free to get the bounty the Canadians are offering. This was probably just a gang dispute turned deadly, because the incompetent Canadianaw enforcement can't be bothered to do their jobs

Will they share intel about israeli terrorism?

Of course that doesn't mean we have to trust it as a sole source of information, especially when a given piece of information is regarding known political biases.

"Trust but verify" isn't limited to the Regan/Gorbachev era.

 

They may have useful eyes on someone that both countries have reason to be concerned about. And we can still be selective about what we share if we believe it could feed into their political misdeeds.

I think if it saves some lives it'll be worth it. We have an issue with the Indian Government, not the victims of terrorism.

The problem I have is how do we trust Modi to provide us with valid intel when there is a real possibility he could instead use us as his attack dog.

I mean Modi isn't exactly a trustworthy ally.
