Trudeau's India trip is a total disaster — and he has himself to blame
The Washington Post ^ | FEBRUARY 22, 2018 | Barkha Dutt

How did Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the world’s favorite liberal mascot — a feminist man, with movie-star good looks, a 50 percent female cabinet and a political lexicon that has replaced “mankind” with “peoplekind” (making millions swoon) — end up looking silly, diminished and desperate on his trip to India this week?

Trudeau’s eight-day India expedition has been an absolute fiasco.

Hours before meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, his journey hit a dead end when the Canadian high commissioner invited a Sikh extremist named Jaspal Atwal (who has been convicted of attempted murder and was previously affiliated with a terrorist group) to a dinner to honor Trudeau in Delhi. Atwal was found guilty of trying to kill an Indian minister in 1986; he was also blamed for an assault on Ujjal Dosanjh, the former premier of British Columbia.

By the time Atwal’s invitation was rescinded — Trudeau called it “unfortunate” — Atwal had already posed for photographs with Trudeau’s wife, Sophie, in Mumbai, as well as with other members of his entourage.

“It’s a disaster,” Vishnu Prakash, former Indian high commissioner to Canada, told me. “I am convinced Trudeau was blindsided. Whoever drew up the list screwed up and dealt him a fait accompli. But it is also symbolic of how Khalistanis have penetrated the system.”

Since Trudeau won the election in 2015, the 1980s have returned to haunt Indo-Canada ties. Sikh secessionists who supported a separate country (Khalistan) unleashed a bloodbath in the state of Punjab in the ’80s.

I've been observing India's foreign policy for the best part of the past 20 years and I can't remember a visit that has turned into a bigger fiasco than this-even the Pakistani ones have turned out to be roaring successes than Trudeau!

One of the Washington Posts’s favorite poodle-boys got his face rubbed into a pile of sh*t by Modi.

Oh God, NO! Canada has its own Pocahontas!

Trudeau can’t help it. Whenever he visits a foreign country he forgets he is Canadian and simply goes native. This makes him worthless to the Canadian People. He can’t negotiate.

Internationally Trudeau is seen as a dufus and a goof!

Canadians love this kind of thing. Makes them feel different from Americans, which is something they spend an incredible amount of time worrying aboot.

The man in charge of all of Canada, looking and acting like a dufus.

He did that pose just before he quoted Biden concerning 7-11s, the speaking stilted English as a way to be better understood by his Indian hosts.
