Can't confirm this but if it did would be interesting as to why she was not detained there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever happens from here tho we can't bend to China's bs. If we allow ourselves to be bullied we'll never see the end of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prix57 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) Its interesting why some "Canadians" are advocating her release yet China right after she was detained decides to detain ~13 Canadians and they have nothing to say about that right? I wonder if these detained Canadians have China's equivalent of Charter of Rights and Freedoms... Maybe they should try launching a civil case against China?

I think some people are under the impression that China would leave us alone if we set her free. Those people are wrong. All that would do is make China do even more to us next time so we break even faster. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She sure has it much worse compared to the Canadians China has detained... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She arrived in Vancouver on Cathay Flight no. 838 which is a scheduled nonstop direct flight between Hong Kong and Vancouver. You realized that flights between North America are non-stop now because new planes are capable of long distance flight. Unlike those that flew in the 60's and 70s that needed to stop in Japan or Alaska for refuelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Looks like China is upping the ante: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/china-accuses-detained-canadians-of-stealing-state-secrets/ar-BBUl1QE Quote BEIJING - China accused two detained Canadians on Monday of acting together to steal state secrets, just days after Canada announced it will proceed with a U.S. extradition request for a senior Chinese tech executive. China arrested the two Canadians on Dec. 10 in what was widely seen as an attempt to pressure Canada to release Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Chinese tech giant Huawei Technologies, who was arrested in Vancouver on Dec. 1 at the request of U.S. authorities. Meng's arrest set off a diplomatic furor and has severely strained Canadian relations with China. The U.S. is seeking the extradiction of Meng, who is also the daughter of Huawei's founder, to face charges she misled banks about the company's business with Iran. China's official Xinhua News Agency cited unidentified Chinese authorities as saying former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig violated Chinese laws by acting as a spy and stealing state secrets and intelligence with the help of Canadian businessman Michael Spavor. It was the first time the two men's cases have been linked. It said Kovrig often entered China using an ordinary passport and business visas, and acquired information from Spavor, his "main contact." This probably goes without saying, but if you're a Canadian, you'd be wise to stay out of China. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one thinks these two guys are linked in any way. China is showing the world what they willing to do if they see you as a small power. It really unfortunate that Harper signed the trade investment deal with China outside of a full trade agreement. With a full trade agreement we would have more reason to matter to Xi, and they'd be less willing to disrupt their investments here. But with the agreement Harper signed, they can act this way with no fear of economic consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnarcore Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 It is time to reclaim all Chinese owned land. If you're not a resident or citizen it goes up for mandatory sale at market value. Worked for Australia quite well. of course it will never happen.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Plenty of Chinese Canadians on social media lambasting Canada and defending the authoritarian Chinese government.

That'll learn em I originally typed this with a facetious intent. Upon further reflection this might seriously hurt them. Admittedly I don't watch a lot of tv but HNIC broadcasts are the only time I see them marketed. Maybe this idea would hurt them. Surely HNIC could get a new sponsor to fill the void.

As it's on our own broadcasting network they should definitely be dropped as a sponsor. It is one of the best marketing sport for our country. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonLever Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 If the case gets thrown out due to Charter Rights violations, its a win-win situation for everyone. The Canadian government will be off the hook. We will tell the US we did the best we could - it was not our fault the Custom guys messed it up. Meanwhile China gets Meng back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
