As of March 14, 2025, Mark Carney, Canada’s recently appointed Prime Minister, has attracted criticism for his silence on the separatist cause with great support among Canada’s Sikh diaspora—the Khalistan movement. Carney has avoided public comments or denouncing of Khalistani activity unlike his predecessor Justin Trudeau, who candidly addressed the matter. Engaging Sikh community leaders in his strategic political approach helps him to avoid direct separatist discussion. Important appointments and leaked internal memos allude to a deliberate attempt to keep Sikh voting support. This silence begs problems regarding pragmatic diplomacy or tacit endorsement in handling Canada-India ties.
