Glad to know that all it takes to get Indians to stop hating each other is to make racist statements about a country that did nothing but point out extrajudicial killings aren't cool.

Canada has lost its way a bit recently. We've let American rhetoric shape us more and more to the point that right leaning politicians tout American ideals, and our centrist politicians get away with elitist bullshit because it knows the majority of Canadians just want our government to function instead of engaging in culture wars.

I feel like articles like this one are trying to get more Canadians mad at Indians... and that's not helpful. India is lead by a Hindu version of Trump, and just because their disparate political parties are all falling out of the clown car to clutch their pearls isn't going to make me think the whole country is like this.

I am starting to feel like we are a country need to spend some time looking at ourselves and seeing if there is a way to go back to rebuilding the reputation we had in the 90s. Friendly to a fault, and willing to help keep peace again.

I'm probably too naive though.

This article is in the Guardian, a British newspaper. Whatever it’s trying to do, Canadians can’t do much about it.

Because if you're mad at Indians, your attention is diverted from these guys:
