Summary
Jagmeet Singh, the new Prime Minister of Canada, has been accused of being responsible for the murder of a Canadian man in India. He has denied it, but there is enough evidence to charge the killer, and he needs to shut up about it.

The other Canadian we can ever remember being assassinated by a foreign power was a gentleman
00:00:04.660
called Gerald Bull, who was working with Iraq to develop super-long guns. He was killed
0.82
00:00:10.640
in Belgium by the Israelis in 1990. So it's a very, very rare occurrence, Corey.
00:00:17.720
Well, it's rare for Canadians to be involved. I mean, I think it's sort of stuck in trade
00:00:22.640
if you're dealing in Eastern Europe or South America, but certainly this is an unusual
00:00:27.840
incident. But the Prime Minister, if asked, would probably say, well, I didn't actually
00:00:33.060
accuse them. I said there was credible allegations with a potential link. Okay, you have just
00:00:42.480
accused them, sir. You can't split hairs like that. And I think the overall takeaway from
00:00:50.800
this is that if the Prime Minister of Canada has evidence that this took place, there should
00:00:59.800
be charges. And in the absence of charges, he should shut up. Because there are much bigger
00:01:07.720
things going on here, not the least of which is developing Canadian trade with India. But
00:01:15.800
in the big global picture, these people are our allies, whether he likes it or not, whether
00:01:21.340
Mr. Singh, like Jagmeet, likes it or not. India and Canada are on the same side. They're both
00:01:28.740
democracies. They both aspire to the same things. And they're both worried, frankly, about the
00:01:33.760
rise of China. So if you are going to irritate your strongest allies, you better have the evidence
00:01:43.520
to back it up. This was reckless and irresponsible and, frankly, takes idiocy to a level that, frankly,
00:01:54.460
in the last couple of decades, only Mr. Trudeau has ever attained.
00:01:59.260
Well, you saw the scenes from the G20 in India, very cool between Prime Minister Modri and Trudeau.
00:02:07.940
And it hadn't even been made public then. But the relationship between India and Canada
00:02:14.980
is now in tatters. You remember Trudeau's first visit there when he embarrassed everybody
