As a matter of principle I agree with you, however there is also a large Indian diaspora in Canada and it's quite possible most of that money was donated by Indians; it doesn't make a lot of sense for a Canadian living in the US to donate the money from a US account though.

I agree on the Indians in Canada donating part. But Canadian PM should have stayed away from making comments supporting the protest.

Especially since some of these protestors are rumored to have backing of Khalistani separatists who have blown up an Air India flight in the past killing 329 people.

Similar applies for Canada and the US
