Sources tell CBC News Indian officials have not denied the existence of the intelligence in private

The Canadian government has amassed both human and signals intelligence in a months-long investigation of a Sikh activist’s death that has inflamed relations with India, sources tell CBC News.

That intelligence includes communications involving Indian officials themselves, including Indian diplomats present in Canada, say Canadian government sources.

The intelligence did not come solely from Canada. Some was provided by an unnamed ally in the Five Eyes intelligence alliance.

    Asked if Ottawa is thinking about retaliating by pausing visa processing for Indian visitors, Freeland said the government is focused on bringing the killers to justice.

    “This is not about geopolitics. This is about Canada, the safety of Canadians in Canada. This is about the rule of law,” she said.

    I like this response. Denying visitors/access to their friends and families is not a way to “retaliate.”
