The warning to Singh, first reported by the Toronto Star, came nearly a year before former prime minister Justin Trudeau claimed Canada had evidence linking Indian agents to the killing of Canadian Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

Singh, who is also Sikh, told reporters the RCMP did not specify who was behind the death threat "but the implication was a foreign government."

When asked why he's disclosing this information now, Singh said Canadians have shared stories with him during the campaign about their experiences with foreign interference.

Singh said those stories made it clear "that maybe sharing a bit of what happened to me would help highlight how serious this is" for others in similar circumstances.

"What about folks that are faced with these threats on a day-to-day basis? What about different community groups that constantly are living with the fear of threats to themselves, to their families?" Singh said.

tbf, when the internal report on foreign interference was shown to party leaders, he seemed to be really into it.

I'm glad nothing came of the threat.
