Canada rescinds invitation to militant to dine with Trudeau
This is one of the top stories for the week. It could prove to be of interest to you, so we are posting an excerpt of it below, and then we will continue with the main story. Long before this pandemic hit, we stated that central bankers, especially the Fed, was on a mission to take rates towards zero. Imagine if the Fed had lowered interest rates by 150 bases two weeks ago, how people would have reacted. When the Fed cut rates before the coronavirus attack, experts were quick to label them as being reckless, but now after a 150 basis point cut, they say more has to be done. Notice the ploy here; to do that which the masses abhor, one has to create a situation that distracts their attention. Then offer a solution that is three times as damaging as the previous one and in their desperation to seek safety, they will agree to whatever course of action is laid out.

NEW DELHI: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau admitted on Thursday that a convicted Sikh extremist had been invited to dine with him in New Delhi, just the latest controversy to dog his visit to India.
Trudeau said the invitation to Jaspal Atwal who was found guilty of trying to assassinate an Indian minister in 1986 had been revoked and those at fault had taken responsibility.
“Obviously, we take this situation extremely seriously,” he told reporters in New Delhi.
“The individual in question never should have received an invitation and as soon as we found out we rescinded the invitation immediately.”
Trudeau has been at pains during his visit to quash long simmering perceptions in India that his administration is soft on Sikh extremists. Read more
Canadian officials: Canada rescinds invitation
Canadian officials Thursday admitted a Sikh extremist convicted of attempting to murder an Indian minister had been invited to dinner with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in New Delhi, in the latest controversy to dog the premier’s week-long visit to India.
A statement confirming Jaspal Atwal’s invitation to Thursday’s official event had been cancelled comes less than a day after Trudeau sought to quash perceptions his administration was soft on Sikh extremists.
“The High Commission has rescinded Mr. Atwal’s invitation,” the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi told AFP in the statement Thursday.
Atwal was convicted for a botched assassination attempt on an Indian minister in Canada in 1986, and was sentenced to 20 years by a Canadian court.
He reportedly attended an event in Mumbai on Tuesday, where he was photographed alongside Trudeau’s wife Sophie Gregoire, according to Canada’s public broadcaster CBC.
The commission would not comment on whether Atwal was part of Trudeau’s official delegation, although reports in Canada said Trudeau’s office had denied this.
“We do not comment on matters relating to the PM’s security,” the high commission in New Delhi stated. Read more
