The embassy called criticism of its conduct toward Mr. Spavor and Mr. Kovrig by Canadian Foreign Minister Marc Garneau “unwarranted comments” that are “fact distorting.” “We believe these detentions are arbitrary, and remain deeply troubled by the lack of transparency surrounding these proceedings,” Mr. Garneau said earlier this week.
Mr. Trudeau on Friday morning criticized the Chinese government for trying the Canadians behind closed doors without allowing Canada access to the court or evidence to support Beijing’s allegations he is a spy. The Canadian government is looking to U.S. President Joe Biden to take steps that result in freedom for the two Michaels given that it was the U.S. extradition request for Ms. Meng that apparently landed them in Chinese jails.
Why are we so convinced 'she' is guilty and 'they' are innocent? Never heard of those 3 before their arrests and all I know is the one sided endless flow of articles in our media. Free them all and StopAsianHate.
Our world has been devastated by this insidious virus yet the media and 'polite society' make a forbidden act to blame it on the recognized source country. Attempts at making such an obvious connection are characterized as effectively a racist attack upon Asian-Canadians.
The animus toward the Chinese Ambassador's essay is palpable but one reservation should be noted: The same Canadians who excoriate China for the hostage taking are also just as committed deflecting blame for the devastating pandemic away from China, where the virus originated
free meng wanzhou and the 2 Michael's will be freed.
I will never own Huawei electronics. Ever. We should be boycotting Huawei as a nation.
China cannot be trusted
Ever wonder how Huawei became so big/so fast? They stole everything from Nortel. Google it. It's all there. Then they poached 100 employees from Nortel to come and work back home (yup, you guessed correct)
There are no words for these 2 men and their families. It is just a horrible situation.
Kick out the Canadian Chinese Ambassador
Unacceptable!
