Editor’s note: An earlier version of this episode contained characterizations of slain Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar that Canadaland has been unable to independently verify, and as such have been removed.

To put it lightly, Canada’s relations with India and China have lately been a mess, with allegations of assassination, retaliation, interference, and spying. And that was before a recent Globe report raised new questions about why China detained the “Michaels,” and before U.S. prosecutors charged an Indian national in a “murder-for-hire conspiracy” apparently connected to the killing of a Sikh activist in Surrey. 

Today’s conversation with Sam Cooper, the reporter who broke the story about alleged Chinese interference in Canadian elections, will take you inside the mess — and help make sense of it.
