As a rough guess, the accusation had better damn well be true from a Canadian perspective, because their actions don't make sense if it's not true. Why would Trudeau make himself look like a fool after a summit where he was pals with Modi, and now this happens? There's no real reason to cause this if there isn't intelligence that likely can't be revealed which implicates the Indian government. As a state, you can't not react to things like this if you know it to be true, else you begin to become a failed state.
As a American, I have to apologize for this, because of our actions lately set the stage for this, both in our own extrajudicial killing of Osama bin Ladin (which set back public health efforts so far back that there's no moral justification for it even in the most utilitarian perspective), or in our truly lackluster response to the killing of Jamal Kashogi. Or the UK's response to the poisonings of Alexander Litvinenko and Sergei and Yulia Skripal, which were pretty tame.
I know there are always monetary concerns in geopolitics, but if expelling one diplomat is Canada's idea of a punishment, that's basically the same as inviting Indian spies to keep killing Canadians. The Indian government is already getting Facebook to censor "pro-terrorist" posts in Canada by Canadians upset about the attack. Is Canada still a sovereign nation or not?
