Free Meng

It is NOT a kangaroo court. It is entirely legal and completely appropriate. You can disagree with the judge’s decision if you like...you can disagree with the decision to arrest Weng....but there is NOTHING illegal or improper about Canada’s actions.

This is an important distinction between us vs China. There is nothing similar about Canada’s arrest of Weng vs China’s arrest of our citizens.

If you think Canada should have not honoured it’s international treaty obligations then you are entitled to that point of view. I strongly disagree with you on that too, though.

Canada is a nation of laws. We work constructively with other countries and try to be good international citizens. It defines us as a nation and has helped us develop our country to be one if the best places in the world to live. We need to stand by our values, defend them, and not allow ourselves to be bullied by less ethical nations.

Sometimes there is a cost for standing up for our beliefs...but the cost of selling ourselves out is higher. Canadians who complain about this need to grow a set and stop being such cowards.

You pride us on "not allowing ourselves to be bullied by less ethical nations", yet you applaud it when we are bullied by USA.

Please make up your mind.

No bullying by the US. We have an extradition treaty with them so we are expected to follow it. We agreed to it. Simple...It’s not even a question. That is how it is supposed to work.

And btw...standing up for ourselves is not just a point of pride or vanity. It is important for our continued success and wellbeing as a nation.

Well, I think we have to agree to disagree. I consider USA's use of sanctions to be bullying.

1. I think it is extremely stupid to not go for the prisoner exchange. People who oppose the prisoner exchange are still in high school. They have no concept of what the real world is like.

2. What I really want to say, is no one talks about the irony of this anywhere.

Just like what you said, the United States under President Trump, will never receive their prisoner in Meng Wanzhou unless they invade Canada and take her.

If Trump loses this election, he never gets his prisoner.

If Trump wins the election, all the appeals by the high priced lawyers will ensure he will never receive his prisoner by the end of his term. Unless Trump pulls a Putin and appoints himself president for life, then he has a chance to receive his prisoner.

So why is Canada doing this?

The only conclusion we have is that Canada is not lead by serious people. Just jokers in high school who never seen the real world.

?

Makes sense in what you said!

send her below the 49th parallel and let her plead Her case before her accusers. As far as PM Justine is concerned, he should stick to his slumber parties.

Sounds straight-forward, but by sending Meng below the 49th parallel the likelihood of seeing the return of the two Canadians would become nil.

Trudeau should have listened to John McCallum. Instead, he fired him (sounds like something Trump would do).

John McCallum fired as Canada’s ambassador to China amid Huawei controversy

The move comes after McCallum ignited a firestorm by wading into the legal case surrounding a Huawei executive detained in Canada

And btw...Why is Huawei even allowed to do business here in Canada...much less build our 5G Network? They should be banned or maybe just seize their assets?

sad but true, but the hole Justine dug for Canada is getting deeper.

Because they have the best technology for 5G. Simple.

Canada needs Huawei and the converse is not true. Huawei is the biggest telecommunications company and manufacturer in the world and an industry leader in 5G.

Then we’ll use the 2nd best technology...seriously- I bet we can figure it out.

Not to mention concerns about spyware in their systems...the US doesn’t even want them used for security reasons.

The less we depend on anything from China the better.

I don't know why you are waging a crusade against China here, but it does explain your views on the Meng case.

 

[basketcase]

Free Meng. We enough problems of our own. Let the Americans do their own dirty work.
...

From the law and order crowd.

But yes, we're paying the price for helping the US out.

Banana republics do that.

Maybe cuz it's a police state ruled by communist thugs and a totalitarian asshole that persecutes Muslims and Christians and Falun and Tibetans and Hongkongers to name a few.

Blame Bell, Rogers, Telus, and CRTC, Because "Bell" wants to pay or buy 5G for $100 instead of paying $ 1000.00 made here so they can make 900 per person instead of $100.
Blame it on profit. Bell wants more money, going China is more profit.

Remember Nortel, It makes me wonder why they lost. Remember Avro Arrow jet plane. Remember Via Rail across Canada.

The "best" technology he's trying to advertise is the result of decades of intellectual theft and reverse engineering and hacking into western tech companies and universities.

Plain and simple, this situation is political. It is Trump shit disturbing to make himself a hero by making it look like he is tough on the Chinese when it is a ploy to get re-elected. Nothing is going to happen in this situation till after the election. If Trump is voted out then the situation will resolve itself with the new government not interested in extraditing Meng. If Trump is elected he may start WWIII by insisting on her extradition.

As far as technology goes, I can speak to the matter a little better than the average guy as I have worked in electronics all my life. Huawei has the best 5G system in the world at this time. There are no American companies that have a 5G system available. The next two competitors are Nokia and Ericsson with systems that are less capable.

As far as spying goes, it would be easier for a foreign power to hack into an existing system rather than install a system so they can tap into it. All governments should be careful of hacking in any system be it 3G. 4G or 5G, messages can be coded or scrambled.

I've come to suspect that democracy and communism are both authoritarian in nature in some ways with democracy being more subtle. In regard to Chinese persecution of their minorities, China can easily argue that Canada attempted genocide on our indigenous people and currently there are BLM protests happening.

It is pretty hard to get a step ahead of your competitor by stealing technology from your competitor.
