Sikh independence referendum in Canada unfolds amid angry clashes, India's condemnation

The referendum, a major international voting project, has infuriated India’s Hindu-nationalist government and stirred up passions in Canada

Interesting and obviously bad for Canada-India relations (which were already strained thanks to trudeau's little costume faux pas and inviting a guy who tried to kill the gov't to dinner). But nothing to be done - it's a free country and they can do that if they want to.

The thing that made me howl is where the indian gov't says it's causing massive tensions between people of indian decent, the local groups here say it's causing massive tension, the story is covering an event where there was massive tension, and some hindus are noting that the tensions are so bad that people are afraid to talk.

Then they ask an idiot professor from McGill of all places and he says "oh no, they all love each other, the tension is all from white supremacists."
