"One of the good things about having a truly independent justice system is that we don't need to apologize or explain for the decisions taken by our independent justice system. We have confidence in that system, in its independence, and we of course will continue to abide and defend our system," Trudeau said, speaking from the front steps of Rideau Cottage on Tuesday.
The United States has charged Meng with fraud, accusing her of violating American sanctions against Iran. Both Meng and Huawei have denied the charges, and her lawyers say the case should be thrown out as Canada rejected similar sanctions. However, the Crown is arguing that the judge must determine if there is evidence of fraud.
Canada has fiercely defended the independence of its judiciary, despite Chinese pressure for Meng to be returned to home soil — pressure that resulted in what Canadian officials have called the arbitrary detention of the two Canadians in China. "We have continued to engage diplomatically with our partners, both with the Americans and the Chinese on the issue of Meng Wanzhou and indeed of the two Michaels who have been arbitrarily detained in China," Trudeau said.
Jody Wilson Raybould would have something to say about that. Especially after Butts has been seen back in Ottawa
Talk about corruption, try the previous con gov and harperisum. You cons are idiots
Idiot
The Chinese are over stepping, Again, but what can you expect from a government that controls their ppl or kills them.
If Meng is sent home - this will surprise no one. Just because he is saying this publicly means exactly zero.
you're running out of time CTV to either stand with Canadians or go down with the cabal the choice is yours
Biggest joke of the year given by the biggest joke in the last decade
The fix is in ? We shall see. When is the UN seat vote? Timely isn’t it that it falls so close to the court case 🤔
Sounds like an acquittal to me! Such liars!
He’s scared he knows if she goes he’s fucked
On another thought - is he that smart?
Agree re judicial ind. but, prosecutors weak arguments v stronger defendant arg:, extraterritorial aspect to her case; & Canada has not signed onto the same Iran sanctions , can’t stop wondering if this was a game we were playing to satisfy US & China.
We don’t have a justice system just a system full of liberal judges who care more about criminals than victims
noHuawei
She is going to be sent home on a private jet. More likely than not with a bag of money. Ordered by Trudeau himself. Meanwhile there are two Canadian citizens languishing in their Chinese prison.

The puppet in American hands stressed that he was independent。
Isn’t it ironic? Yeah I really do think.
Okay😂😂😂😂🤪🤪🤪🤪🤣🤣🤣🤣
You lie sir...
Lol. How come non of your twitter followers support your owner, CTV?
Just keep Hwawaie out of Canada
Here we go again....... who’s the judge?
Bet Canada has no balls.
Trudeau would throw anyone under the bus if he knew it would help him get ahead.
Where was that independence for the Attorney General in the SNC Lavalin proceedings JustinTrudeau? Your shameless Liberal hypocrisy is unmatched. cdnpoli
Justice what justice? JT spit on justice & democracy. Most likely already decided and instruct to the scrap extradition treaty, piss USA off but Make sure China is happy. There’s always that humanitarian reason they can play with, ironically to a citizen of an inhumane country.
Hilarious coming from a groping meddler.
If this is the personkind that we are waiting for....I am sad for my country.,..or what's left....
Now it’s Independant? Not when Quebec companies could be found guilty of breaking the law, SNC, comes to mind,
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Thanks for the laugh.
FFS You actually have the audacity to print this headline after SNCLAVALIN? You have NEVER held CORRUPT Trudeau accountable for his OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE that continues to this day! PATHETIC PROPAGANDISTS You have betrayed Democracy, Freedom & Canadians time & time again.
Omg what a bloody hypocrite JustinTrudeau
Spoken like the Corrupt and Crooked Clown he is.
😂😂😂😂 Another Trudeau LIE 😂😂😂😂 Coming from the most corrupt PM in Canadian history Go to hell Justin Corruption abounds at the highest levels in Canadian Gov't CanadaIsBroken
I call bull shit on you and JustinTrudeau
What?! Hahahahaha lol!!
lol. I needed a good laugh today, Justin. thank you.
Just like SNCLavalin AdmiralNorman JWR JanePhillpott Irving Davey ScottBrisonMadeMeDoIt
God help us. Truly.
Declaring innocence already eh trudy You already know the verdict?
The strange tale of the paid protesters supporting Meng Wanzhou at her extradition hearing
I FORESEE LAWSUITS. MANY MANY LAW SUITS.
Me Thinks Thou does protest to much CanadianPM . What's the 1st act of a guilty person.. They either blame someone else,for what they themselves are infact doing. Or They proclaim innocence before they are accused.. CorruptTrudeau
Similar to the sort of independence that was exercised with the SNV Lavalin scandal? Wouldn’t real journalists ask that question or at least raise the point to temper that same governments statements so shortly after such a scandal?
Most comments suggest that Trudeau hasn’t got a clue what ‘judicial independence’ entails. TrudeauCorruption
Why? He never cared before. TrudeauMustGo Presstitutes
Unless Mike and Mine are returned to Canada, Meng should wait. Trudeau needs to emphasize independence of Chinese government tyranny. Australia was just handed tariffs by China, do you think he called up the AUS PM to discuss? My bet is on NO
I hope she’s send free...
He's a dictator ..of course he interfered and will make shore she is set free...
Unless you're the AG and you want a sweet deal for a corrupt Quebec based company.
Stormy Daniels denied entry to Canada for Sundowner appearance — politics suspected – The Buffalo Chronicle
Need to say more 👇🏽?
I guess he is betting everyone has forgotten and moved on. Lol! There is a bigger reason why he is pushing this.
You must see the irony in this headline. Independence Ask JWR. You can’t quote him saying this unless it’s put in quotation marks, because it seriously isn’t true, not even close.
Our country is in a bad spot, if we send her to the US for charges China will never release our Canadians and if we send her to China, Trump will lay an egg.
What? What about the SNC debockle. There was no independence of the justice system there.
SNC......? He is washing his hands...UN post.....
lol, we all heard the evidence of how non-idependant our justice system is. our AG was so bothered by it that she stared recording her phone calls as evidence
Why not just turn her over to the states, that’s how this whole predicament we find ourselves in now started, it’s all connected, daddy is a billionaire
🤣🤣🤣🤣that's like quoting a rapist emphasizing the celibacy
SNCLavalin shows that is a lie.
As he’s on his knees to China! TrudeauDictatorship
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! The same dick that fired the Justice Minister because she wouldn’t bow to his wishes? How can CTV hold their noses long enough to publish this garbage!!
Yeah whatever you say Skippy. Ethics is your real strong suit.
I worry more now for ‘ the 2 Michael‘s. 😞
A silly legal circus.
JustinTrudeau talking about an “independent justice system” is comical. CTV writing the piece with no opinion, without reference to Trudeau firing his AG, or his meddling in the SNC affair is a joke.
Kinda like SNC? Lol oh ya I forgot
Then why are you still pushing to have Huawei build Canada's 5G network?! ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied TrudeauLied JustinTrudeau
“PM Trudeau emphasizes independence of the justice system on eve of key Huawei decision” LOL the irony! SNCLavalin LavScam
That's Trudeau-ese for 'the fix is in'. Nothing the guy says can be trusted.
Why in Gods green earth is JT so in love with the Chinese?
Reading between the lines. “ She’s going to get away with it “
He has likely already called Wenzhou to congratulate her
He's a bit of a coward.... Want to maintain diplomatic relations but has no power over the courts and is distancing himself from their decision instead of having their back....
PLEASE
Did he do that for SNC too? Nope He is lying, he is corrupt, he needs to go.
He also said this when disagreeing with a court ruling: “While it would be completely inappropriate to comment on the specifics of this case, we understand that there are systemic issues in our criminal justice system that we must address.'
Canada: Future Province of China
Now he emphasizes independence.
Besides the irony of this post, love the photo. Too funny that Justin has had such a great excuse not to cut his hair, but rather revert to his stylin' I'm so cool hipster self — and all totally legit. (Solidarity with the people, man!)
Now he wants judicial independence
Canada caught between China & USA, whatever the court rules, we’re in the dumpster. cdnpoli
About the last person in Canada to lecture anyone on judicial independence is this two faced hypocrite! Ask JWR or Admiral Norman for clarification...
our country is a colonial project for China... she will be released.
All permanent members of UNSC should get together and remove China as the permanent member of UNSC. Give that seat to India. China should be heavily sanctioned and all countries should pull out their businesses from that evil country. Provide diplomatic accord to Taiwan .
SNC-LAVLIN
This is hilarious.
