The assassination of a Canadian citizen by India on Canadian soil is an unprecedented and unconscionable assault on Canada’s sovereignty and on the lives and liberties of all Canadians. Merely expelling a low-level diplomatic agent, as Canada has achieved, falls far in need of successfully responding to this violation.
