Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland stumbled over a question about why the government is honoring Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Khalistani separatist who was on the no-fly list and had his bank accounts frozen before his death. Despite past actions against him, Nijjar was recently paid tribute in Parliament. Freeland failed to explain the paradox, instead emphasizing the solemn anniversary of his death and condemning his murder on Canadian soil. She praised Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's stance after the assassination, calling it necessary but challenging. The exchange has gone viral on social media, raising questions about the government's stance on Nijjar's activities.
