It's possible that China could look to detain other Canadians as a result of this week's court ruling that did not go in Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou's favour, says a former head of Canada's spy agency.

as her lawyers pushed for, and will remain under house arrest as proceedings continue.

Their detention has been widely seen as a form of retaliation from China, which also included kicking off a trade war, putting Canadian farmers in China’s crosshairs. “There's quite a difference between the Meng case— of someone who was arrested under an international treaty of extradition, which is afforded due process in a country which believes in the rule of law—compared to two Canadians who have been arbitrary detained… for more than 500 days, that’s 500 days too much,” he said.The court’s decision this week has prompted many foreign policy experts to predict that it would be only a matter of time before China retaliated.

“I think they will retaliate… They're going to retaliate not only to send us a message but also to send a message to other countries… So yes I think there will be further economic consequences, but I think they will probably augment their efforts, trying to undermine us both domestically and internationally through a variety of means,” Fadden said.

Candian Media and Leaders let the CCP do what they want...... The CCP are real Nazis that need to be destroyed by the world and China be set free.

They shouldn't be there during these times anyway, no excuse. They have put their own life in danger.

Then why did Justin say he stands with China over Hong Kong. Justin is a disgrace!!

Yes, as long as Canada acts as a lapdog of the US.

We can send a special thank you to Trudeau for putting the interest of U.S over Canada.

As overseas Chinese, CCP always is a negative impact on us.

The CCP has been accelerating its global aggression. The only thing we can do when we’re dealing with bullies is not back down. We’ve got to stand up to them, because the more we back down, the more they demand. Canada, stand up against the intimidations from the Chinese Gov.

How long should this go on?

Only fools will travel to China now.

heres a thought. don't go to china, i mean i'll admit its a little simplistic but companies need to stop sending people to china to do business and look at other means
