    So somebody murders this Nijjar fella somewhere up near Vancouver. RCMP must have got some clear evidence it was an assassination by India. Cut to … Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau goes to India for the G20 and tells Modi that his country doesn’t appreciate that. Now this. Have I got it right so far?

      I think you are right, but Trudeau, I believe, didn’t say anything until he came back, if he knew ahead of time. I could be wrong but I don’t recall him saying anything while there.
