India suspends visas for Canadians as diplomatic spat escalates

New developments today in the widening rift between Canada and India.

The Indian government has suspended visa services for Canadians and is calling the country a safe haven for terrorists, while Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is standing by the allegation that India was involved in the shooting death of a Canadian.

Trudeau wouldn’t offer any new information about the evidence but said the decision to make this public wasn’t made lightly, and he once again called on India to cooperate.

The suspension of visa services means Canadians are no longer able to get a visa to travel to India.

For more on this, we spoke to Jane Boulden from the Department of Political Science at the Royal Military College in Kingston.
