this whole thing just goes to show how unworthy we are as Canadian citizens . if you guys get in trouble in any other country just seek the american embassy, they might be more considerate then our Canadian government .

China dislike Canada because Orange Man Bad

[AdrianLeeMagill]

Canada should threaten to endorse Taiwan independence. That would get Xi's attention.

[kevinh]

China says be a man Canada. Talk to me one on one, something Canada is not known for in geopolitics.

[justiceleague]

Problem for Canada is although we don't like Trudeau, but that Sheer will make thing even worse.

Technically release meng is the best way to solve this issue

[mingao]

Trudeau behaves like a kindergarten kid and cried to teacher Trump that someone took his cookie

[VIAGRA]

Xi: shall we talk about Mrs Meng and the 3 Canadians?
Trump: I don’t have time for that since they are not Americans.
Xi: can you drop the extradition?
Trump: I didn’t arrest her and I didn’t arrest the 3 Canadians so it’s not my business.
Xi: you lied
Trump: Pompeo can say that better
