You are asking for empathy from a government that also criticizes its own citizens for speaking their mind??

[stewutz]

I agree with her. What happened wasn't right. I think it is disgraceful that our government showed cowardice and refused to stand by her right to voice a political opinion in her own country. Our prime ministers actions were shameful.

Its funny how the typical liberal fails to be liberal where it matters the most and starts splitting hairs over the most insignificant of stuff.

I'm surprised CTV carried this! They tend to lean a fair bit to the left.

I fully support her! Cannot believe that Global Affairs didn't stand up for her!

Justin Trudeau loves China and cringes at the thought of saying anything critical about the regime that gave the world a lovely present this year.

A Canadian citizen’s rights we’re trampled on by the Chinese and our government doesn’t support her?? Wtf!!

Trump: America first. Trudeau: Canada last.

Isn't Canada simply another Chinese province?

Canada has allowed itself to be intimidated, not helped by a weak boy leader in Trudeau .

[ChrisMontgomery-xtrmagamr]

Time to rise up Canada, Civil war now or later, Now will be much easier on all Canadians. Trudeau must go.

[muyun]

Beautiful and kind Lin！She did much for Chinese human rights

[TheKillWizard]

Canada needs leaders that protect Canada first above all else. If we keep going the way we are there won't be a Canada left.
