The Spin

Carney's India visit reeks of elite maneuvering and convenient timing. Just one year ago, a sitting Canadian MP was abruptly ousted from a safe seat on vague India-related interference claims, clearing the path for Carney's parachute candidacy. Now that the same PM jets to Mumbai to ink deals while his former employer Brookfield lists a major Indian renewables IPO the exact day he meets Modi, and the ousted MP's son spent years as a senior Brookfield executive in India throughout Carney's entire tenure there.

The India-Canada relationship is finally healing after years of strain, and Carney deserves real credit for making it happen. Starting with the G7 meeting between Modi and Carney, followed by ministerial exchanges and now a landmark visit to Mumbai and New Delhi, both nations are rebuilding ties anchored in shared democratic values and enormous trade potential. Security cooperation is improving as Canada recognizes the Khalistani threat, and this reset promises billions in investment and a comprehensive economic partnership by year's end.
