Canada's trade plans with India face challenges amid rising tensions
Summary: Tensions between Canada and India are rising, impacting Canada's trade plans with the fast-growing nation. Diplomatic disputes have led to accusations and expulsions, causing a significant decline in trade, estimated at around one billion dollars.
