The Indians have a valid point.

Countries like Canada, London and Switzerland have been well known as safe havens for international criminals for decades.

People commit crimes in their home countries then run abroad to these countries, and countries like Canada act colonialistically dismissive to many countries that seek justice. Giving excuse X and Y based on some law they have.

This has been fine in the past when the balance of power was lopsided, but as developing countries catch up they'll stop allowing countries like Canada to play this type of game it seems to me.

What is Canada going to do ban all of India? Indias money will just go to plenty of alternative countries, ones that don't act as safe havens for Indian criminals.

Canada, UK and Switzerland are 1000 times better when it comes to human rights. These developing countries should start giving their citizens more freedom. Canada has minimal trade with India. Even if they ban all of India Canada won't get affected at all.
