It seems unlikely to be false and made up, it's not like Canada goes about saying stuff like this, historically. At the same time it's not hard to imagine a case where revealing the evidence/sources would compromise the capabilities/assets used come up with this conclusion.
Perhaps the early announcement is a misstep from the Canadian PM, but I really doubt that they would make this stuff up. They have very little to gain by coming out with this, if untrue, and a lot to lose.
And if the allegations are true, Canada still is probably in an unenviable position of not wanting to come stir problem unnecessarily, but also not being able to let it slide and be seen as a push over. Extraterritorial killings by foreign nations is a big deal, and being soft on this is opening the door to a whole lot of problems.
I would be weary of trusting the current Canadian prime minister
CSIS and Canadian NSA (Canadian Intelligence Services) overall have a good reputation but have been mismanaged recently and also have been politicised and made to lie about events
An example incident around 2018-2019
Canadian Prime Minister on his visit to India in 2018 had invited a known terrorist in hiding to his gala, who was shown to even take a photograph with his wife, the first lady at that event [0]
Then after this incident blew up back then, the national security advisor of Canada, CSIS and the Canadian Prime Minister claimed that it was rogue elements in the Indian government who brought the criminal to the gala to embarass Canada [1]
Only for a liberal mp from Prime Minister’s own party admitting they were the ones who invited the known fugitive who was facing charges on attempted murder against Indian beauracrats and journalists. [2][3]
It was a disaster and showed how the current prime minister likes to use public services to save his face and make false accusation against other governments and nations.
The Minister even had to resign later for this.
I’ve added two attributions for last point [2] and [3] a canadian and a indian media source as it wasnt widely publicised in Canada (considering how embarrassing it was for them) but was widely shown in India
I linked only canadian sources and newspapers to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Somewhat reminds me of the situation with Meng Wanzhou. Canada seems to end up with high profile folks with ties to other countries that then put Canada in a difficult position. China is still angry at Canada over the Meng Wanzhou situation (among other things). Xi Jinping took a swipe at Trudeau in front of the Camera recently, Modi is now telling me to f'off. Politics aside, say what you will about Justin, sure as heck wouldn't want to be him.
Apparently Robert Fife told the PMO they were going to run this. The government asked them to hold off for a week, and then The Globe and Mail said "no, we're running it in 24 hours."
Pro tip: Use M.D. after your name and you're a business. I AM an M.D. but friends I've given this advice to over the years have had success in impersonating a business with this title.
I, as a 33 BMI person with insomnia issues and workaholic nature, started intermittent fasting (eat between 9am to 5pm) 5 days ago and since then, I have been consistently sleeping at least 5 hours daily. By midnight, I am tired enough to not care about any pending task.
