Western countries have for too long acquiesced to the Indian government’s abuses

Oh, but US/Canada/West ordering murders in India/East/Global South is fine? The Brits haven't even acknowledged what they did to India......

Any evidence Canada is responsible for ordering assassinations in other countries? Would love to know more about that.

Canada was in Afghanistan no?

Ok, but that's our military engagement history. I asked for evidence on Canada committing assassinations.

Bonus points if you can find evidence of it involving countries we are ostensibly at peace with but I'd even be interested in evidence from active war zones involving Canada.

Canada is aly with the countries carrying out these associations. I never saw one statement from Canada condemning these actions, rather I can pull up multiple tweets from Canada's officials supporting these assassinations.

That doesn't answer the question

As a Brit I'm happy to admit we did some shitty things in India, as well as elsewhere, during the colonial era. However at this point we're both happy members of the commonwealth with a decent relationship and a decent amount of cultural osmosis from each other. I mean our current prime minister is of Indian descent.

There's a different between India and some other ex-colonial nations in that they aren't still moaning about it and saying they need reperations, etc 70 odd years after the end of the empire. India got on with it as an independent nation and become one of the world's fastest growing economies.
