People hold signs calling for China to release Canadian detainees Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig during an extradition hearing for Huawei Technologies Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou at the B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver, on March 6, 2019.More than half of Canadians believe Ottawa should take more aggressive action to persuade Beijing to release two Canadians jailed in China, a new poll suggests.
Nik Nanos, the president of Nanos Research, said the poll shows that Canadians have hit a tipping point and are hardening their attitude toward China. The poll was conducted for The Globe and Mail and CTV News between June 28 and July 2. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. They said that doing so would help Canada “redefine its strategic approach to China” and trigger the release of Mr. Kovrig and Mr. Spavor.
Mr. Nanos said Canadians are of the view that the U.S. government can do little to help free Mr. Kovrig and Mr. Spavor.Story continues below advertisement Ms. Meng is currently on bail in Vancouver fighting the U.S. extradition request, while the two Canadians are in Chinese prisons without consular access and in cells where the lights are on 24 hours a day.
As a HKer, I’m so glad the world has finally realised China is a threat. If she used the wolf warrior diplomacy to arrest Canadians, Ottawa should do something to protect her own citizens.
y_kitman Canadians are fed up with pro-beijing policies, when would Trudeau sit up & take notice? cdnpoli canadanotchinada
kinsellawarren They label stuff now as Made in PRC to confuse people as to where it is from
PhaedraXTeddy I have stopped buying Made In China. We have more then enough garbage without their poor quality garbage then send around the world. That's why theres so much plastic out there. Made in China is plastic garbage or dog or cat fur now leather PRODUCTS made from dog skins.
China is targeting Canadians for political purposes. Doing nothing is just not an option. When bullied, you can fight back, run, or cower. I say fight back.
The rest are still digesting Ezra's excellent exposee of CCP embedded in Trudeau's Liberals and throughout our govt until THAT's who's driving!
They are not taking any accountability for this biological weapon that they have unleashed on the world and for the thousands that have died...
Why Canadian think this way because they have been brain wash by main stream media who following US
Acceptance criteria for Mainland students MUST be reviewed - 'Significant and clear' threat: What Canada's spy chief says about China behind closed doors
Yes they want ! Yet are they ready to give support to Gov to be tough
More than half? Which poll? What’s the sample size? What’s the population? Don’t give out these false leading title! Such BS! Next time Canada probably should had better protection for your intelligent agents instead of cover your own failures.
globepolitics Doesn't matter - it's not what the Lieberals and the New Dunce Party want.
Yes, it would feel sooo good to stand up to the bully and get our economic nose broken.
And rightfully so... we cannot allow Xi Jinping and his authoritarian zombies to take over every business while continuing to treat their own people and that of Hong Kong like trash!
swift sanctions are needed against CCP
More than half of the Liberal Government is in Bed with the Chinese Communist Government. So guess what’s next.
then they should vote conservative
Considering the number of China immigration, that's mean most of Canadians.
Per DOJ, Stone wasn’t even eligible to apply for commutation: “To be eligible to apply for commutation of sentence, a person must have reported to prison to begin serving his sentence & may not be challenging his conviction in the courts.” Stone had NOT reported & IS appealing.

agressive or decisive ? I would say the latter. Let’s not feed aggression to a cause that may be resolved with a strategy athome . Call for unity is stronger when propagated appropriately. Nonetheless, act we must.

People are finally realize CCP is a threat
globepolitics Only when Conservatives get into power. Liberals ate too corrupt and spineless to do a thing.
First, Canadians should check if the two people real break the law or not, If yes, Canadians should be fair. If not, Canada government should do their best to save them! We should be in an objective & fair way.
This is so necessary. These two innocent Canadians were detained just because of China’s political revenge. This is totally unacceptable. Canada needs to hold a stronger stance over China. Don’t let China mess around like this.
My excellent daughter joined Life Science Program at St. George Campus of University of Toronto In September 2018. Naheed Nenshi&Sean Chu colluded with Mark Saunders to rob my daughter’s studying opportunity in University of Toronto. Deprivation of my daughter freedom illegally!
US has already reminded you that the risk
I think something drastic has to be done about this. China is a powerful nation but Canada has to take action. I believe not allowing Huawei 5G technology into Canada is the first step.
Good luck.
The Canadian government got to do something about China. Has Prime Minister Trudeau reached out to the EU leaders? World leaders I hope can speak up and let the world know what China doing to the Canadian men is wrong. Canada must do something to save these men.
Same with everyone 👍🏻🤟🏻
If only Canada had a leader...
4/4 A frenzy of chauvinistic Canadian anti-Americanism must not shift the blame away from the devious Beijing regime that concealed, delayed and misled while their citizens travelled untested and unquarantined to the four corners of the world, causing this ruinous pandemic.
3/4 The virus has been traced back to at least mid- December based on reports from dissident Chinese virologists. The possibility of an even earlier continental jump is very likely based on viral tracings in Italian sewage which were sampled in mid-December.
2/3 This narrative is fundamentally misleading: The viral spread had a far greater head start out of China than their official story of January tourists and travellers flying out of Wuhan.
Most citizens are against CCPChina, but there is more hesitancy for the governments. They should sanction CCPChina strongly but carefully to reduce collateral damage. That's why we need to fully decouple CCPChina and replace it with stronger ties within the free world.
The obsession with American increase in viral spread is convenient to a cowardly narrative cultivated by both the Canadian federal government and Canadian media:That China let the world know of the pestilence awaiting them in timely fashion and with the utmost good faith.
I don't. If they're criminals they have to pay the price Stop dealing in countries that can concmvict you for conspiracies if you don't have a way out.lesson learned.
Vlad, The Queen and her mob will be thrilled. Too bad about the virus being detected in western sewage long before the Wuhan outbreak. But your efforts to help undermine the Canadian-based prog movement is likely helping accomplish in Hong Kong the same as with the Arab spring.
Canadians should start taking action themselves directly if our government won't. Stop buying Chinese consumer electronics and software. Don't invest in Chinese businesses. Speak out loudly and actively about the innumerable injustices the CCP commits daily.
digitaljournal This poll should have asked the question: How many Canadians support not being a political puppet US corporations and endangering Canadians abroad? cdnpoli
Cancel the passport of chinese immigrants
On all topics, not just the Michaels.
I'll admit that I buy from China but their government is a total failure and I feel for the people there because this is not a leadership they want.........and not wanted for years...
Most people arriving on Canadian shores are left wondering if they came to Canada only to pay tribute to China. The Liberals better wake up and stand strong, rather than bowing their heads to Emperor Xi.
People are finally waking up to China, it's long overdue
Count me in. Also stop buying Chinese crap.
JustinTrudeau is just not the man. CCP_is_terrorist
Considering how much Sinophobic propaganda your paper and the rest of corporate media have been spewing for the past year that’s actually smaller than I thought. Give it a rest.
