It isn't a biggie. Russia used to be invited. How many journalists do you suppose they did for?
International politics has to be at least a little bit practical.
Speaking of which, it was under Stephen Harper that Saudi Arabia bought the Canadian Wheat Board for $15B...so the precedent of Saudi Arabia sinking big money into Canada is there (and under Team Blue to boot)Well, let’s see if Team Blue objects, given their response to info about links to assassinations in Canada of “show us the int.”
So it will be interesting to see their take on this indeed

It is a well crafted attendance list. In addition to Modi (confirmed, and it is high time to get over the outrage that was manufactured in order to win Sikh votes in a byelection), and MBS (unconfirmed), the following will also be attending:
This is a fascinating aggregate counterweight to the US....

Screw the SA's - corrupt buggers with their hands out to the Chinese and the Russians. Don't trust them all at.

Exactly. And I trust each of those attendees to act in their own best interest at all times.
The beauty of Brazil, India, and SA is it covers off 3 of the 5 BRICS countries, so there is an opportunity to insert a wedge. The downside risk of RUS and CHI having "friends" at the G7 table is there irrespective of the other 3 - if only because of the deep penetration of Chinese influence in Canada. And if you factor in the attendance of Zelensky and key European allies of UKR then RUS is being isolated along with CHI.
Last year's list serves as a useful comparison: Algeria, Argentina, Brazil, India, Jordan, Kenya, Mauritania, African Union, Tunisia, Turkey, UAE, UKR, Vatican City (and the Pope).
Overall, this is a very nuanced list.

But... but... the words 'credible' and 'potentially' were used by the then PM in connection with this incident
Hardeep Singh Nijjar: Anger in India as Trudeau points finger over murder
Mr Trudeau said Canadian intelligence was looking at "credible allegations potentially linking" the Indian state to the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a prominent campaigner for a separate Sikh homeland who was shot dead on 18 June in British Columbia (BC).

I don’t believe he’s suggesting that the events were fictitious or fabricated, nor that the law enforcement/intelligence understanding as communicated by the government is inaccurate, but rather that the subsequent outrage, legitimate as it was, may have been further amplified towards political ends.

Yes, of course. The virtue signaling was strong with this one…
I wouldn’t say that. Given what was alleged and how credible the allegations were, outrage was perfectly appropriate. It was a strike on Canada’s sovereignty. It’s not ‘virtue signalling’ to shit all over a country that murders Canadian citizens. It is also inherently political, though, and we saw that in various ways.

Security rules not followed when awarding contracts to company behind controversial ArriveCan app, report says
It will be interesting to watch if Carney curtails the Liberal Party penchant for not following rules or if "sacrifices have to be made" and it's full speed ahead.
Speaking of the Liberal Party of Canada...have we discussed the proposed Bill C-2 yet??

We'll see what gets pulled out for even more scrutiny moving forward.
The lawful access and modernized search warrant language in Part 14 of the bill are useful and important. We hadn’t updated search and seizure statute for the realities of computer data, and some of our legal authorities were way behind the times in terms of keeping up with the sort of records and data required to investigate use of the internet in offences, leading to some absurdities entering via case law. It cleans some of that up in very reasonable ways that are consistent with other comparable search and seizure authorities.
