Canada, the govt, per-se, seems to have nothing
to do with this. It's Indian extremism -vs-
Indian extremism. Just HAPPENED to take place
on Canadian soil.
Not sure expelling the ambassador was the
best tact however ... but he MAY have been
involved, or at least aware.
Fortunately actual war between India and Canada
does not seem to be in the cards - the impacts
are likely to be in the economic sphere. India
is now the worlds most populated country and
has considerable economic clout. It also has
nuclear weapons - but those aren't in the cards
fortunately.
Religious/cultural extremism is still nothing novel
in the world. There will be other incidents from
time to time and they can happen in any country.
