Justin Trudeau’s Diwali Video Amid Peak India-Canada Diplomatic Tensions

Amid strained diplomatic ties, the Canadian government has named India as a “cyber threat adversary” and stated that New Delhi may be involved in spying against Ottawa.

In its National Cyber Threat Assessment 2025-2026 report released on October 30, the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security said: “India very likely uses its cyber program to advance its national security imperatives, including espionage, counterterrorism, and the country’s efforts to promote its global status.”

“We assess that Indian state-sponsored cyber threat actors likely conduct cyber threat activity against Government of Canada networks for the purpose of espionage,” it added.
