Ottawa, Feb 24 (UNI) Had it just been the snickering from the usual suspects about his clothes, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau likely would have ended his week in India with little political damage and possibly even a bump in popularity in Canada's large Indian diaspora.
But some bad press turned worse, much worse, when it emerged that a man convicted of what a Canadian judge called "an act of terrorism" — an attempt in 1986 to assassinate an Indian politician visiting Vancouver Island — showed up at a Trudeau event in Mumbai, invited there by a BC Liberal MP.
Justin Trudeau's trip to India went from bad to worse ('Bengal Bungle') after the federal government tried to blame the disaster on India, David Akin says in his report for the Global News.
