After all, he once told his own mother that if she or his children were held hostage, he would not compromise his office to save them.
“I’ll remember it forever but it was not necessarily a difficult decision, in the sense that it was obvious you can’t negotiate with terrorists and put at risk the lives of millions of Canadians around the world,” he said.Article content continued Extradition is an executive decision, more a matter of diplomacy than law, according to lawyer Brian Greenspan.
But Trudeau is surely correct that bending to such blatant extortion would create a dangerous precedent. Trudeau told reporters that Canada must remain “steadfast and strong” in its position and “say clearly in actions and words that randomly arresting Canadians doesn’t give you leverage over the government of Canada.”
Correct response. Too bad its 500+ days overdue.
Why did he not say anything months ago? Oh yes, he was bidding on a seat on the UN security council controlled by China.
Not a Trudeau supporter but this may have been his best day in office. Wish we’d seen this months ago, good world image today.
As someone who has to travel for work, I appreciate Trudeau not affixing a target to my back. China is behaving like a terrorist group. We should not negotiate with terrorists.
Then he should also reject hostage diplomacy (ie potential sanctions / tradewar) with US re Cdn extradition trial of a Chinese Huawei executive. Both China & US rogue nations, cowardly JustinTrudeau unable to extricate himself from their spat at expense of Cdn citizens.
Meanwhile our allies are making deals with China and Hauwei. Trudeau is a fool.
Day 563 of the hostage taking.
IvisonJ Wow, so many congratulations for this guy finally saying the right thing AFTER he lost the UN vote.
It’s all staged. Nothing that goes on at this point can be taken at face value
