Since the assassination of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar outside his Vancouver temple in June 2023, diplomatic tensions between Canada and India have soared. Canada accuses New Delhi of ordering the killing and has expelled several Indian diplomats, while India claims Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is allowing Sikh separatist "terrorism" to flourish on its soil. As the largest diaspora outside India, Sikhs account for over 2 percent of the Canadian population and have rapidly become key players in Canadian politics.

Three news stories summarized & contextualized by analytic journalist Colin Wright.South and Southeast Asian countries cope with a weekslong heat waveSummary: Portions of Southeast and Southern Asia have been enshrouded in a heat wave for weeks, charting record-high temperatures and disrupting everyday life throughout the region.Context: Cambodia saw the hottest temperatures in 170 years, clocking 43 degrees Celsius, which is about 109 degrees Fahrenheit, Myanmar hit 48.2 C (118.8 F), and Thailand reached 40 C (104 F)—though the heat index in these countries were all higher, taking into account heavy humidity levels, so in that latter case, the Thai capital Bangkok actually surpassed 50 C (122 F); some of this heat wave is being attributed to the waning effects of El Niño on normal seasonal temperature changes, while the rest is being attributed to human-amplified climate change.—The Associated PressOne Sentence News is a reader-supported publication.

A massive diplomatic uproar erupted in 2018 when Canada detained Huawei's chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou, who is also the daughter of the Chinese tech giant's founder, over an American warrant alleging fraud. The crisis intensified further as China, within days, arrested two Canadians — Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig — on spying charges. The Western world rallied behind Canada as it alleged the arrests of the two Michaels were nothing but Chinese retaliation.

It's been six weeks since Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took to the floor of Parliament to announce that Canadian security agencies had evidence of credible allegations that Indian authorities had a hand in the killing of a Canadian citizen, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, on Canadian soil in June 2023. Nijjar was a well-known activist in Sikh diaspora circles but someone Indian authorities branded a terrorist.Trudeau's allegations led to a rapid downward spiral in bilateral relations between India and Canada, a spiral that shows no immediate sign of ending. To discuss these recent events—and the larger question of bilateral relations between Canada and India—Milan is joined on the show this week by Sanjay Ruparelia. Sanjay is Associate Professor in the Department of Politics and Public Administration at Toronto Metropolitan University, where he holds the Jarislowsky Democracy Chair. He is the host of the podcast, “On the Frontlines of Democracy,” and the author of Divided We Govern: Coalition Politics in Modern India.Milan and Sanjay discuss how India fits into the Canadian government's Indo-Pacific strategy, the two countries' longstanding bilateral struggles over trade and investment, and the explosive growth of the Indian diaspora in Canada. Plus, the two discuss the allegations surrounding the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the Indian government's response, and the precarious position the Biden administration finds itself in.Episode notes:Sanjay Ruparelia, “The opportunities and challenges of courting India,” in Maxwell A.

The GZERO World Podcast takes a look at an international murder mystery that dominated headlines in September: Canada's allegation that India was involved in the assassination of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia in June. New Delhi has dismissed the accusation as “absurd” and demanded any evidence be released publicly, which Canada has yet to do. But the diplomatic fallout has been swift: Canada expelled the head of India's security service in Canada, and New Delhi demanded dozens of Canadian diplomats leave India. Ian Bremmer speaks with Samir Saran, President of the Observer Research Foundation, a top Indian think tank, to unpack the fallout from the shocking allegations, the history of the Khalistan separatist movement within Canada, and where the two countries go from here, given their strong diasporic and economic links. Saran also discusses the paradoxical nature of India's relationship with China and tensions on the Himalayan border, India's role in the BRICS partnership as a leader of the Global South, and the feasibility of India's ambitious goal to get 50% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030.

Kate Adie presents stories from Nagorno-Karabakh, Canada, South Africa, Peru and Germany. Tens of thousands of ethnic Armenians have fled the disputed enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh in the last week. Rayhan Demytrie spoke to some on the Armenian border about the devastating impact of the recent Azeri blockade. And now they face the loss of their homeland, with distrust between both communities running deep.

Happy Monday! Emma speaks with Ahsan Butt, associate professor of international studies at George Mason University, to discuss the recent schism in relations between Canada and India over the purported assassination of a Sikh separatist in British Columbia. Then, she speaks with Akela Lacy, politics reporter at The Intercept, to discuss her recent piece entitled "AIPAC TARGETS BLACK DEMOCRATS — WHILE THE CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS STAYS SILENT." First, Emma runs through updates on the WGA strike, labor action with the postal union and UAW, the GOP's government shutdown, the candidacy of Donald Trump, Rep. Menendez's corruption, DOL child labor investigations, investment in the US Railroads, and an influx in Armenia refugees, before watching Matt Gaetz take Kevin McCarthy head on (via Maria Bartiromo). Professor Ahsan Butt then gets right into outlining the big picture of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's developing allegations against the Indian government and Narendra Modi, walking through the supposed charges (the murder of a Sikh Canadian citizen on Canadian soil), and why India believes they can carry out such an action on the international stage. Next, Professor Butt steps back and walks Emma through the history of Sikh separatism, India's tensions with separatism as a whole, and why Prime Minister Modi chose to reignite an issue after decades of minimal conflict. After briefly diving into the background of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the Sikh dissident assassinated, Emma and Professor Ahsan walk through the evolving stances of Justin Trudeau, Joe Biden, and their respective governments. Akela Lacy and Emma then parse through AIPAC's targeting of Black progressives with Democratic primaries, looking at the PAC's overwhelming investment in challengers (and threatening challengers) to progressive congresspeople, and the prevalence this takes in challenges against Black Democrats. Next, Lacy parses through AIPAC's ties to Democratic and Congressional Black Caucus leadership, particularly members like Jim Clyburn and Hakeem Jeffries, as they assess why the CBC has been drastically less proactive in supporting Black incumbents than they have for white Democrats challenged by Black progressives. They wrap up by exploring the future of progressive candidacies in Congress, and what the Democratic leadership's ties to AIPAC mean moving forward. And in the Fun Half: Emma talks with Dan from Oceanside about bolstering affordable transportation, Custodial Artist joins the discourse on Fetterman's fits, and AOC brings an important perspective to the immigration debate. Brett Baier flaunts using his platform to further the agenda of Saudi Arabia's bloodthirsty tyrant, Richard from Houston highlights a rising progressive congressional candidate, and the UAW's strike continues to barrel forward. Senator John Kennedy gets schooled on caring about kids, David Brooks defends his ernest political satire, and the right starts understanding the unpopularity of its abortion stance, plus, your calls and IMs!
