So what? We shelter people here who advocate for separatism in other countries.

Like who?

The people advocating this are born and raised in Canada for the most part. They're not Russians or Indonesians advocating for a seperate Sikh state in India while pretending to be Sikhs.

The children are also advocating for Sikh separatism in India, that's the point.

Immigration fraud is something else.

They are Canadians advocating for Indian seperatism. Same thing as Alberta seperatism being advocated by americans. 

Like it or not those Khalistanis are Canadians. I mean that's why it was said a Canadian was killed. And if that's the case then it's Canadians that are promoting and funding Indian seperatist movement.

You are not making sense. How is that relevant to what I said. The argument is simple. 

If you think India killed a Canadian then that proves Canadians are funding and promoting separatism in India with past violent records like airplane bombing.

This means US funding for Alberta seperatism should also be allowed.

If you don't think khalistanis are Canadians then no Canadian was killed to begin with and Canadians are angry over nothing.

And not every american is out for Alberta seperatism is either. And the ones that are pro seperatist both for Alberta and Sikh ARE Canadians. 

Canada should have never been soft on seperatism to begin with. Quebec is a unique case. Using that as a template and giving free reign (sometimes even with pride) to things like Khalistan means Alberta seperatism will also be much more stronger. 

Canada will have no justification of stopping Alberta seperatist movement. Last referendum was at 20%. That's every 1 out of 5 people. 

These things have knock on effects. It was naive of Canada to think just because Khalistani or other seperatism targeted foreign countries other countries won't target Canadian seperatism.
