The report found that a handful of people donated about $10,000 of their own money. No one broke the law. What's the issue here, exactly?
Imagine the group was called "Friends of Trump" and was filled with MAGA fanatics. It's not illegal to accept their donations, but it is a bad look.
It's hardly the same situation, given that one country is trying to annex Canada and the other isn't.
CSIS has confirmed Modi has interfered in Canadian elections as well as sent an assassin to kill his critic inside of Canada.
The reports all bear notes of caution about the summaries being possibly uncorroborated, single-sourced or incomplete. CSIS Director David Vigneault told the public inquiry that intelligence is not necessarily fact and it may require further investigation.
Actual facts on election interference are, hard to come by, but conjecture from unidentified interests isn't good enough. Blindly trusting intelligence agencies without proof is how you end up invading Iraq.
The "critic" in question was a supporter and fundraiser for the Khalistani rebel movement, on and off no fly lists and wanted by Interpol. Arms training programs in the BC interior seemed to have spooked Modi into action, can't imagine why after the Air India bombing and the trial the RCMP fumbled. Most Canadians are content to forget the event after all.
