After a Thanksgiving weekend of wildly contradictory accusations, irreconcilable claims and counterclaims between New Delhi and Ottawa, and a bomb scare that caused Air India to call back an airliner that was carrying 239 passengers from Mumbai to New York, diplomatic relations between Canada and India are at the point of no return.

It’s like 1985 all over again, in the days leading up to the Sikh separatist bombing of Air India Flight 182 off the coast of Ireland, which claimed the lives of 329 people. Ottawa says India is intruding in Canadian affairs. New Delhi says Canada is exporting terrorism to India.
