Indian foreign ministry claims ‘security threats’ after Trudeau’s explosive allegation of state-sponsored killing mean it cannot provide visa services safely
India says it is indefinitely suspending visa services in all categories for all Canadian nationals due to “security threats” to its consulates, amid a furious diplomatic row between the two countries.
Indian foreign ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said they have suspended “all categories” of visas, including e-visas and for Canadian citizens applying from third countries.
And India has also moved to downsize the Canadian diplomatic presence in New Delhi, saying that Canada has more embassy workers in its capital than visa versa and that it wants to restore “parity”.
It comes after Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau said there were “credible allegations” of the Indian state’s involvement in the murder of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada, triggering a furious tit-for-tat row.
The problem is that bringing in TFW’s to work at Tim Hortons allows the shitty food chain to keep their wages artificially low.
So stop shopping there, don’t support the bullshit. Start talking to the workers about unionizing.
Rich people are fucking you over. They’ll do whatever they can get away with. And they’re successfully convincing people that people that don’t look like you are the problem.
Don’t kid yourself, they can raise wages plety without affecting the price of your coffee, but they won’t touch their profit margin so the extra cost gets passed to the consumer.
Agreed.
And I don’t. Haven’t been to Tim Hortons more than twice in the last 6 years.
I’m with you.
Totally agree with the sentiment, but if I were to boycott everything I disagree with I’d be a hermit living in the woods… actually that doesn’t sound terrible
