I mean, this whole situation sucks, but from an international politics standpoint it makes sense why they wouldn't take a side until we're absolutely sure rather than just pretty sure that India's government was involved in the killing.

There's no way Canada would make it public without proof. The US, very foolishly thinks it can make Modi's India its stooge in its fight with China just like it did to Pakistan in its war against Russia & Afghanistan. Looks what happened to that alliance.
Modi is a dictator guided solely by personal ambition. The US govt forgets that even though China has invaded India and routinely threatens India's territorial sovereignity, Modi has allowed it to become India'a 2nd largest trade partner., to benefit his oligarchs., political donors, and himself. He will not side with the US against China, but will try to milk US's need for allies to prop himself while doing Chinas bidding.

The US is trying to create another Pakistan by appeasing Modi, which is why they're ignoring his ongoing genocide of Muslims & Christians in India, and now his assassination of Sikhs abroad.

I mostly agree, but India is never going to do China's bidding. India is playing both sides and getting as much as possible from each. The only difference is China understands this and will make it's successes look like India is siding with China. USA doesn't seem to understand this for some reason and well...
