That is ironic coming from a Canadian. Just recently, a lot of money poured in from Canada to support the farmer protest in India. Here is one example: https://www.gofundme.com/f/donatetofarmers

PS: Not that I support the current Canadian protests.

As an Indian, this double standard was the most amusing thing for me in all these. When farmers in India protested, Canadian PM himself supported them (probably because he wanted the Sikh community votes?).

Indian government only used police officers with batons and were sometimes chased away by the protesters.

Then yesterday I saw videos of heavily armed RCMP officers deployed to remove some of the blockades!

As a matter of principle I agree with you, however there is also a large Indian diaspora in Canada and it's quite possible most of that money was donated by Indians; it doesn't make a lot of sense for a Canadian living in the US to donate the money from a US account though.

I agree on the Indians in Canada donating part. But Canadian PM should have stayed away from making comments supporting the protest.

Especially since some of these protestors are rumored to have backing of Khalistani separatists who have blown up an Air India flight in the past killing 329 people.
