Canada is not refraining from hatching new conspiracies against India. Trudeau's government has now included India's name in the list of countries posing a 'cyber threat'. Through this list, Canada has tried to indicate that there is a possibility of espionage against Ottawa through elements sponsored by the (Indian) government. Apart from India, Trudeau's government has also included the names of many other countries in the enemy list.
Who else's name is included in the list of enemies
Canada's National Cyber Threat Assessment 2025-2026 (NCTA 2025-2026) report ranks India in the fifth position after China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The report said, 'We assess that cyber threat actors sponsored by the Indian government are likely to conduct cyber threat activity against the Canadian government's networks for the purpose of espionage.
Canada making allegations without proof: India.
However, India has criticized Canada after its name was included in the list of countries posing cyber threats. India said that this 'classification' is another example of Canada's strategy to target the country. On this issue, the spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs said that senior officials of Canada have openly admitted that they are trying to 'influence the global discourse against India'. He said that Canada is making allegations like before "without any evidence".
Relations between the two countries are constantly deteriorating
The development comes a year after Justin Trudeau said Canada had credible evidence that Indian government agents were involved in the killing of Canadian Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia in June 2023. India had rejected the allegation as absurd and the allegation soured relations between the two countries.
NCTA 2025-2026 highlights the cyber threats that individuals and organizations in Canada may face. It was released on October 30 by the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (Cyber Centre), Canada’s technical authority on cybersecurity and part of the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSE).
