Letters to the editor: June 25: ‘Because he can doesn’t mean he should.’ Should Canada’s Justice Minister release Meng Wanzhou? Plus other letters to the editor

: Having worked with Allan Rock in the 1990s, I developed a great amount of respect for his intellect and integrity. And Louise Arbour’s credibility in matters of the law is unquestioned. If they together have said that Meng Wanzhou can be released by the Minister of Justice, then Canadians must presume it is so. However, because he can doesn’t mean he should. Releasing her would demonstrate to China that the quickest way to resolve an issue with Canada is to imprison Canadian citizens.

Assuming there is a will to release Ms. Meng, can it be done in a way that sends a different message – keeping in mind the United States also has an interest in this file? Perhaps if her release were combined with a decision to ban Huawei from Canadian 5G networks and potentially other areas such as artificial-intelligence research. While the former decision might anger the U.S., the latter may go some way to ameliorating that anger.The reality is we are a minnow to both China and the U.S.

The more China applies pressure, the more public opinion in Canada turns against it. There is a considerable amount of goodwill between China and Canada, and we seem to be squandering that in very short order – a pity. As Canadians, we have values. But at the same time, we should look out for our own interests, and holding on to Ms. Meng has resulted in little good for Canada. We have paid a heavy price, but it looks like we have a legal way of getting out of this conundrum. May cooler heads prevail.
