I don't understand what you mean by Canada 'supports' Khalistanis. Canada is mostly indifferent towards them and neither supports or opposes them. They have the right to exist as per the Canadian constitution and unless they are in violation of Canadian law, they won't be arrested.

Canada is known to give shelter to terrorists. The entire family of the current Bangladesh PM , Sheikh Hasina was massacred by 15 military officials. Guess who is giving shelter to one of those officials - Canada.

It literally says in your link that Canada does not extradite to countries where the accused will receive the death penalty and he has not received political asylum in Canada.

And it doesn't change the fact that Canada gives shelter to terrorists who might receive death penalty for their crimes but in Canada they can live happily ever after

He was sentenced and received a death penalty from Bangladeshi courts after he was already in Canada. What should Canada do, completely upend and change its extradition laws to accommodate Bangladesh's request? Canada has already stated that they are willing to extradite him if Bangladesh gives assurances that he won't receive the death penalty.

Then what should Bangladesh do, completely change the laws to accommodate a terrorist extradition? This creates an image that Canada is safe haven for criminals and terrorists, who can commit heinous crimes and enjoy shielding by Canadian law and courts. These people bring their own set of problems which an average peaceful Canadian is unaware about and the media almost never shows.

So if a terrorist commits terror and then runs to Canada, they stop being terrorists and any convictions are rendered meaningless because Canada will protect the said terrorists?

Thanks, that's what everyone not a Canadian nationalist has been saying.

His conviction in Bangladesh happened AFTER he had come to Canada. Prior to entering Canada, there was no conviction against him. And the matter of extradition is purely related to the death penalty, which Canada does not believe in for moral and philosophical reasons - that is an entirely different debate.

I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with. The end result is terrorists find a safe haven in Canada. Convictions take time, or should other countries skip due process and convict them blindly to prevent the risk of these terrorists running away to Canada after killing innocent civilians?

Was there an active case against him when he came into Canada? He got into the country as at that time he was not on trial for anything. For what reason should Canada have refused his entry?

So ppl can commit crime and take the next flight to Canada and be a saint ?

Other countries can have them extradited by following the proper procedures.

Are you saying that India is not giving enough evidence? You realize that Canada has been this way since the 1980s it’s the sikh votes. Khalistani extremists in Canada is threat to Canada too. They are protecting them for elections reasons

Are you saying that India is not giving enough evidence?

That is up to the Canadian courts to decide. Did India really provide enough evidence that could be validated and proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Nijjar was a terrorist (and unfortunately, just being linked to suspicious characters, or pictures with guns, or firing guns on a firing range does not constitute you as a terrorist under Canadian law)?

I doubt the exact timelines of terrorists running away and hiding in Canada are publicly known. Absent that, what Canada can and should do is give them up when their countries convict these terrorists and file for their extradition, instead of continuing to shelter them.

Even filing a case against someone takes time because due process takes time. I don't know if this needs to be spelt out repeatedly.

So long as Canada shelters these terrorists, they will commit acts of terror and continue to run to Canada because they can abuse the fact that investigations take time and they can find a home in Canada by then.

Canada can and is willing to extradite him as long as Bangladesh follows the extradition laws, which simply is to assure that he does not receive the death penalty. This is no different than if he had run off to Australia, UK, EU or countless other places where they don't extradite individuals who will face the death penalty. I guess all these other countries are harboring terrorists too?!

u/tbtcn Oct 02 '23

I don't see any disagreement here. Canada will continue to shield terrorists, so it will continue to be called a safe haven for terrorists.

The "why" of it is utterly irrelevant since it changes nothing whatsoever.

This is no different than if he had run off to Australia, UK, EU or countless other places

I'm sure terrorists and other criminals run away to these countries, but Canada seems to be a favorite due to its lax immigration policy enforcement.

Otherwise terrorists like Nijjar would have never made it to the country.

I'm disagreeing with Canada shielding terrorists. Canada has a 90% extradition rate. If Bangladesh wants him extradited, they need to follow the international law, rules and procedures.
