Nijjar: Where's CSIS?

It's one thing for CSIS to have briefed the Prime Minister and BC Premier but what about the rest of us? Nijjar, a Sikh activist, was assassinated, and the PM alleges that somehow India was involved. I find it extremely troubling that CSIS has not corroborated any of the allegations made. 

It's not like CSIS is a stranger to backing up politicians: we can go all the way back to 2010, when then Director Fadden made allegations about alleged Chinese control over various politicians, primarily provincial ones.

So...CSIS has been out there in the past. Of course, no one wants CSIS to compromise sources and methods, but to leave Trudeau, Poilièvre and Singh dangling there on a limb makes me wonder what the hell is really going on?

Tit-for-tat expulsions of each other's diplomats isn't helping, either. It's my impression that a generic colour of things has been presented to Eby without getting into the nitty-gritty of this case. That's why Eby is asking Trudeau for more answers. Again, it comes off as if there's very little verifiable meat on the intelligence bones. 

The other plausible explanation is that Canada was tipped by foreign intelligence sources, and they're now mad as hell for Trudeau to have gone even this far. Hence, no backing up from Allies either.

The longer this goes on without collaboration of the story, the more we should be concerned. I want something on the record from our intelligence services. Will we ever get that? Who knows.

UPDATE: Both Canadian officials and the American ambassador to Canada have confirmed Five Eyes involvement. So, this is pretty much as SOLID as solid can be. Now what does Canada do next after already expelling an Indian diplomat? We won't break relations, that's for damned sure. But Trudeau could potentially have the means to identify the alleged Indian perpetrators, perhaps even by name. If that's accurate, you can bet that an extradition warrant is already in the works. That'll ramp up the pressure on India but good and if Biden privately pushes Modi hard on extradition, watch out. So, India potentially already is between a diplomatic rock and a hard place. Glad I'm not Modi.
