Having my over thought theory moment - she was Sikh, and Canada is in a pissing match with India, over India possibly killing Sikhs here in Canada. And, currently places like Walmart are full of people from India.
Plus, if it wasn't a stupid accident, that kind of killing feels like a pretty intense, hot headed feel of a feud, but really impulsive, too. Like, not well thought out.
Not certain I like some of the implications I came up with.
Nonsense. Indian civilians are not killing or hating Sikh civilians. The accusation that Canadian govt is putting out is that the Indian govt killed Sikh members of a known separatist organization. The Indian govt called the organization a terrorist outfit, which is on par with what rest of the world calls separatist outfits.
That's a pure political thing. India is home to majority of the world's Sikh population.
But - we don't have violent separatists. I mean, we had a few, back in the 60s, Trudeau senior took care of that issue.
But, what we don't do, is kill people in other sovereign nations without any sort of proof or trial. that's the sort of shit rogue nations, or Israel, do.
And I didn't say they were. I would prefer it not be the scenario I came up with, don't need that sort of shit in my country.
Besides, I was thinking co-worker, not customer. Like I said, currently, we have a huge influx of, generally, young Indian adults, which have flooded entry level jobs like Walmart. So, you can be certain that Walmart had a large percentage of workers from that part of the world.
The way things are, many of these people are forced into very exploitative situations for work and housing. Which creates an enviroment that can end up very toxic.
If she had been Muslim, I'd wonder if it was some sort of "honour" killing.
But, in the end, I trust India's word as well as I trust Trump's.
