Over 50% of Canadians are advocating for reduced tensions and diplomatic engagement with India following the killing of Khalistani hardliner Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Nanos Research poll revealed. The survey, commissioned by CTV News, indicated that 57% of Canadians prefer diplomatic talks concerning Nijjar's murder outside a gurdwara in Surrey, British Columbia. Relations strained after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused India of involvement, leading to expulsions and diplomatic disputes. While 25% want further investigations, 11% suggest patience. Canadians above 55 were more likely to believe Trudeau's claims, while Quebec residents leaned towards tension-reducing measures.
