However, there was an <strong>absence of common ground <\/strong>between the two sides.<\/p>\n<p>Second, Trudeau has dismissed the <strong>khalistan issue<\/strong> as merely a matter of <strong>&#8216;freedom of expression<\/strong>&#8216;. He overlooks the fact that India views it as a threat to its<strong> territorial integrity. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For example, in a recent incidents in Canada, Khalistan supporters displayed scenes depicting the assassination of India&#8217;s former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. It crossed the boundaries of freedom of expression.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Third, <\/strong>another significant issue pertains to <strong>India&#8217;s relationship with China<\/strong> in comparison to its relationship with Canada. There is a<strong> close relationship<\/strong> between the current federal government of Canada and the Chinese Communist Party&#8217;s government.<\/p>\n<p>Before the G20 summit, the Canadian government independently halted<strong> trade negotiations<\/strong> with India. This decision was <strong>not communicated<\/strong> to India&#8217;s High Commissioner to Canada. <strong>Such opacity<\/strong> in policymaking creates suspicions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do Trudeau&#8217;s personal inclinations impact the foreign policy of Canada?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trudeau has a history of downplaying the<strong> trade potential <\/strong>with other countries. It may be due to <strong>ideological reasons<\/strong> or other motives.<\/p>\n<p>During his initial visit to China early in his tenure, he returned without <strong>significant achievements <\/strong>because he primarily focused on issues like <strong>gender equality.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In August 2022, the German Chancellor visited Canada seeking <strong>natural gas supplies<\/strong> due to the Ukraine conflict. Trudeau sent him back without a deal. He cited the absence of a<strong> &#8220;business case&#8221;<\/strong> for exporting the abundant Canadian natural gas to Germany.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source&#8211; The post is based on the article \u201cJust What Is Justin Up To?\u201d published in \u201cThe Indian Express\u201d on 14th September 2023.
