The governments of India and Pakistan attempted to interfere in Canada's federal elections in 2019 and 2021, Canada's spy agency said in documents made public late Thursday night.

In 2021, the government of India had "intent to interfere and likely conducted clandestine activities," including the use of an Indian government proxy agent in Canada, according to an unclassified summary written by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS).

Two years earlier, in 2019, "Government of Pakistan officials in Canada attempted to clandestinely influence Canadian federal politics with the aim of furthering the Government of Pakistan's interests in Canada," CSIS wrote.

The stark assessments are contained in documents that were tabled as part of the federal commission of inquiry into foreign interference. The public inquiry is examining possible meddling by China, India, Russia and others in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections. [...]

Karakoram, the Himalaya | Frozen Planet II: Frozen Worlds

At the Western end of the Himalaya, bordering Pakistan, stand the Karakoram. They contain more peaks over 8000 metres high than any other range on Earth, and include K2 which stands over 8600 metres tall. The slopes of the Himalaya carry the greatest accumulation of snow and ice outside the polar regions. It's an area known as The Third Pole.

Since we have mounting tensions with Iran again, in addition to the ongoing Israel-Gaza war AND the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, and a lot of people posting advocating extreme "solutions" with maximal goals, a reminder:

It is very, very hard to impose major change on a nation state from outside in the modern world- and pretty much impossible if that country is nuclear, for reasons that should be abundantly obvious.

So when we talk about how we're going to deal with Russia, or Iran's bullshit, or end the war in the Middle East, or deal with (God forbid) another Trump Presidency... understand that the rest of the world can say what it thinks should happen, and can exert some indirect pressure in the form of diplomacy, sanctions, etc... But really major territorial or regime changes can ONLY come from within those countries, with the consent and active involvement of their own people.

This is true to some extent of any country of any great size or population, as occupying another country is extremely costly, and there are not the disparities in technology or unfamiliar diseases that allowed European colonialism of old to succeed- nor, thankfully, do I think that the modern world is quite as politically forgiving of simply wiping out or enslaving a people and annexing their land as it used to be.

But it's ESPECIALLY true if it's a nuclear state. Which, to date, includes:

The United States of America

Russia

China

The United Kingdom.

France.

India.

Pakistan.

Israel.

North Korea.

And let's be realistic, since the US has said that Iran's at the point where they could probably build a nuke in a week or two if they want to, we can potentially add:

Iran.

If you want to change the basic structure, government, or borders of any of those countries, then your solution MUST be one that enough people within those countries will consent to, and actively support.

Otherwise, you are not only behaving unethically, you are behaving delusionally. You are not engaging with the world as it is.

India and China: The Economic Tug of War

China and India are two titans poised on the great field of the world economy. Being the two most populated countries in the world, they both have a different story of development, invention, and promise. Many of us are wondering with an eye toward the future: how long until India catches up to its neighbour if it continues on its current trajectory of economy?

China's GDP, estimated to be valued at $17 trillion as of 2023, is far larger than India's remarkable $3.5 trillion. China, with its enormous labor force and infrastructure, has been the unchallenged leader in manufacturing, establishing itself as the "world's factory." Contrarily, India has made a name for itself in the services industry by demonstrating its expertise in software and IT services at the forefront of the development and growth. Nevertheless, things are improving. India has been increasing its GDP faster than China, often by a significant margin. While China is experiencing a slowdown in its economy due to an aging population and an imminent debt crisis, India is benefiting from a demographic dividend. Its youthful population has a unique opportunity for economic growth, accounting for over 65% of the total....expand more to read.

I'm trying to sort my postcard collection by country but I only have a certain number of dividers and a certain number of countries which led to me sorting a lot of them into regions that, if applied anywhere else, would be hugely controversial
