New Zealand's relationship with the French government is still overshadowed somewhat by the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior, I imagine this will affect their relationship for years to come in a similar way. Especially if their government continues to deny their actions.

But why did India want this person dead?
This person was advocating for a separate sikh state/country back in India called Khalistan. Not sure about whether he wanted Sikhs to secede or just asked for a separate state. I am guessing it's the former, hence the assassination.
The important thing to keep in mind is that if there were credible intelligence that they were involved in a specific plot then India would just reach out to CSIS and we'd probably arrange for extradition.
This was an extralegal assassination because India just wanted to murder them.
Yeah the India government right now is quite brazen as they have gained a lot of support from the voting population. The Overton window has shifted in the world.
I love the term extralegal.
Makes it sound super legal.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he believes India's relations with Canada may have undergone "a tonal shift" in the days since the unsealing of a U.S. indictment alleging a conspiracy to murder a Sikh activist on American soil.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government reacted with scorn and flat denials when Trudeau stated publicly in the House of Commons on September 18 that there was credible intelligence linking India to the June 18 shooting death of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar outside a temple in Surrey, B.C.
The indictment said that American authorities had thwarted an assassination plot linked to India in their own territory — one with ties to Nijjar and a scheme to kill Canadians.
The indictment alleges that Indian officials in New Delhi offered $100,000 to a drug dealer named Nikhil Gupta to hire a hitman to kill Pannun in New York.
The U.S. has continued to show concern about the alleged murder-for-hire plot, which was a topic of conversation between the two countries again last week when FBI Director Christopher Wray visited New Delhi.
Although both the U.S. and Canada have focused their messages to India on the need to investigate, officials in both countries say privately that they do not believe the Modi government was really unaware of the alleged assassination — which bears the hallmarks of a state-directed operation and does not appear to be the work of rogue agents.
The original article contains 824 words, the summary contains 230 words. Saved 72%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
"But it is foundational for Canada to stand up for people's rights, for people's safety, and for the rule of law. And that's what we're going to do."
Except when the local Indigenous population tries to prevent resource extraction on their land, but nevermind that.
