arguing that the Trudeau government should short-circuit the process and free the Chinese business executive.
But the Canadian government did the right thing when it respected an extradition request from an American court in late 2018. This is what countries that follow the rule of law do. But it’s hard to believe that provision exists to give in to extortion. Our justice system could conceivably release any suspected criminal at any time, if someone holding a gun to the head of an innocent person demanded it. That’s how things go in failed states, where the rule of law has given way to the law of the gun.
That, too, is a source of frustration. Canada is effectively standing up for the U.S. justice system, even as the United States is led by an impeached President who views the rule of law with Beijing-style contempt.
Are you surprised? I’m not. There is no loyalty with Trump as President. He prefers to support China, Russia and North Korea.
Sometimes you have to just do things yourself and stop being a filthy, lazy, dependant dog..
Trump has poisoned the well Canada and the USA both countries drink from. Americans are our ally but Trump has no need for our country so he will bully us or anyone who does not give him his way.....this President is a bigot and a Bully and has no class or Respect for anyone.
AWOL because our failed high-school-teacher Prime Minister has completely bungled the U.S.-Canada relationship.
Main Ally? Come on CBC - the US ditched us a long time ago. Over 3 years ago to be precise. Time we acknowledged that.
So release the Chinese national in exchange for the Canadians held hostage. Who cares what the US wants... let them do their own police work.
Trudeau blamed Trump for Iran shooting down their airplane and you're surprised that U.S. is not rushing to help him out? The person who wrote this article must be some sort of entitled, left wing millennial that can't see past their own irony. Bad take Toronto.
Waiting to see how CBC spins this.
Justin's attitude put Canada in this position!
Communist China attempts to strongarm 'Rule of Law' Canadian government while the U.S.- the bastion of democracy- remains silent. There. That's better...
No one can be shocked by this. A key trade negotiation will have Trump’s full focus. With the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, Trump’s total focus was on an arms trade deal with Saudi Arabia. Why would this be different?
because trump being a business man and thats how they think if it not going to help them they or him self he don't care so he has not interest in help Canada
No doubt!! Our PM is an utter arse!! Like it or not he needs to build a relationship with the president...and yes he will be there for at least 4 more years
They're not our main ally anymore. Time to forge closer ties with Europe.
Did you really write this?!? TrudeauWorstPM
This is an arena for mature experienced people. I am running to provide our great country with thes government for years. edy laraque CPC leadership candidate.
I wonder why .......
we don't need them, my plan of letting ISIS fighters relocate to Canada will show strength.
We have now entered the realm of pure 'journalistic' fantasy. YOUR twit PM is the one who has been AWOL on every foreign policy issue, and embarrassingly so on China
Is theUS really Canada’s ally.
Because TruDope does nothing but F up relations with our largest trading partners. Trudeautwpface TrudeauWorstPM
Do a swap, meng for the two Canadians, I’m sure USA and CHINA are done screwing over Canadians, now that a trade deal was made USA will just let Meng now anyways, USA has become a Rogue nation
No surprise there, really, Canada does have the First Lady and daughter as allies.
Currently the USA is apparently not our ally. Is it possible to do a prisoner exchange with China ? Where is the extradition process at ?
Cuz our PM openly runs down the US President. Really, really stupid business
It reflects bad on the USA . For Canada was only complying to the arrest warrant from USA . Next time USA want another country to too that . They well think 🤔 of Canada and the trouble it cause them 👿
It is Canada's 'leadership' that is to blame, no one elses. Canada needs to grow up at some point and not think it needs an older sibling to fight the bully at the playground on its behalf.
What do you expect the USA to do when Canada is not taking action?
Guess we should be respectful to our neighbour eh 😀
The PM had lots of braindead things to say about the American President, go figure.
China, Trump Putin an unholy alliance
Really? It’s not complicated. The US Administration views Trudeau as spineless, weak & 2 faced. You really think they want to deal with him? I doubt. cdnpoli
Ally? Our ally left us and Europeans hanging 3 years ago. He can’t be trusted
Because of two faced Trudeau TrudeauWorstPM TrudeauMustGo to bad we can’t impeach him. trudeauEmbarrasmentToCanada
They aren’t awol they don’t care about us especially with our dear leader pushing them away.
As soon as Trump suggested that the extradition could be avoided for certain considerations, Canada should have freed her. If charges can be dropped for these considerations, they aren't real charges. The US no longer stands for justice and democracy, so why do their bidding.
After the way many Canadians have treated their President, do you blame them? Your PM openly mocked him. If I was Trump I would tell Canada to take a hike. You can’t have it both ways. 🙄
And ya wonder WHY China is against us now Hmm... come on... IN COHUTES 🤔 think bout it
nonsense, what does junior justin jacobin need dady trump to show him how to LEAD a country?...the answer, come to think of it, is clearly, YES.
Why the hell would trump do anything for “two faced” Heck , if I was trump I would watch Canada go to the dumps like it’s heading and take over Canada....and full on start every oil rig in Alberta and then some .....
Suck it Canada!
China is a loving communist country that embraces lenin, stalin moa.... let just ignore the fact they torture and kill their people
Seriously? Can you freakin’ blame them?
JustinTrudeau
This administration has not treated Canada like allies at all. Time to get Trump out!
How the hell can we expect help from the US when all our PM does is disrespect POTUS. Liberalism though... expect everything for nothing.
I don’t understand this. I thought Canada was detaining Madam Wanzhou at request of the US. Maybe we should just give her to Trump.
The relationship will improve once Trump is gone.
Trump has NO FRIENDS, just disposable useful idiots. His view of 🇨🇦 has 0 to do with our PM; is 🇨🇦 prepared to SERVE Trump (not 🇺🇸) just Trump? Hell NO!! Shame on 🇨🇦Trumpers!🤮 Trump is an ego-maniacal dictator & would destroy ANYONE for HIS own gain. ⌛️ 🇨🇦BernieSanders2020 ✅
Thanks to Judas and his stupid policy
Because Judas hates Trump
Surprise! 🙄
Sunny days people,sunny days.
If & when Meng Wanzhou is extradited, then & only then, will China address the issue of Michael Kovrig & Michael Spavor. USA has now signed [phase 1] trade agreement. Trudeau is on his own with his good friends of China.
Let the lady go!
You pissed in his cereal and want his help? How defective is your media room?
Trudeau has always put his ideogical beliefs ahead of Canada and part of that has been insulting our closest ally You can't insult the one you expect help from while supporting their (and what used to be mutual) enemies while at the same time expecting help and support from them
This once glorious newspaper now reduced to being a shill for the Libturds in order to continue to receive free taxpayer dollars - forgets all too quickly that Justaboy uses every opportunity to denigrate the US -
ya trump suks
Trudeau choose Iran, Cuba, Muslim brotherhood over USA, what to expect
Two Faced Trudeau burnt that bridge then he dynamited it . Does Trudeau's bribe money to the media have a time limit on it or is it in affect until he's booted from office ?
The Americans have their hands full dealing with the Chinese themselves.
and we have a Limp Leader
Typical realDonaldTrump position. Then wonders why the US has hesitant allies. What a Dotard!😆😆😆
Trudeau's fault. Should have been nicer to Trump.
News flash: the U.S. under Trump is no longer Canada’s ally, let alone its main ally. It’s nothing personal - U. S. has abandoned all its traditional allies except Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Can you blame them considering what Trudeau has been like?
LOL
'Canada is facing China's brutal might and our main former ally - the U.S.- is awol.' There, fixed it for you.
U.S. just signed a Trade Deal with China... how are they AWOL? Your Journalistic sense is as AWOL as Tudeau's Foreign Trade abilities.
The nitwit doesn't need any help. He's more serious and businesslike now remember.
Why would Trump back up Trudeau when Trudeau out right back stabbed him.. I would tell Trudeau to Fu** ***as well.
Trudeau needs to be removed before it’s too late
This is what happens when the undesirables win elections with their BS conspiracy theories that globalism is the oppression by deep state secret societies, etc. Result is large moron economies like China and the US are throwing their undeserved weight around to enrich the few...
All thanks to Sunny ways and his cohorts!
Actually, if Canada had a leader who was strong and respected, you know, A MAN WITH BALLS, we wouldn't be in this position. Trudeau is weak. And he is viewed exactly that way around the globe.
realDonaldTrump = Fair weather friend.
Had Trudeau not been his pompous arrogant self they would still be present.
Trump's US is no ally of Canada.
lol this government has spent its entire term demeaning ridiculing and hating Trump and the American administration o surprise now they need something
They are not AWOL. Trudeau pushed them away by acting like a spoiled punk. Do we have the USA’s back in this Iran conflict? Did we support the USA, our best friend, when the other G7 nations trying to ostracize the USA or did Trudeau act like an immature mean girl?
maybe had something to do with our drama boy insulting their leader at a public event, on camera.
Befriend your enemies..
Used to be our main ally
