  1. If he had the guts he would arrest some of the thousands of Chinese spies in Canada. So nothing will happen but some whinning. No guts.

    1. Two can play at that game but Trudeau has absolutely no spine. I can’t wait for him to be gone forever. Why doesn’t he go and live in China if it’s that great? I will never by another product that says made in China on it. They can’t even build their own fighter planes. They screw that up as well.

    1. @旮旯北京 Canada followed the rule of law concerning our extradition treaty with the USA. Trudeau has no involvement in the arrest of the Canadians other than to ask that they be treated fair!y and humanely.

  2. All he has to do is bodycot China send the military in to get Canadians home stateside…. what’s this. So woman have freedom 2 Canadians live in hell. If she can walk around free with two mansions in Canada send her back

    1. China would crush any military including G.I.Joe. Best just to forget about the Micheal butt brothers

    2. @Adam Petherick what does this have to do with the military? She did not know she was going to be arrested?

      Why are the two canadians captured then?

    3. @Adam Petherick she was arrested at the bequest of the USA, and because of our joint extradition treaty, we had no choice but to follow the rule of law and detain her. She should be transferred to the USA, where she is accused of trade violations.

  3. Trudeau had no hesitation to politically interfere when it came to SNC Lavalin. Why not do the same for Canadian rights, liberty, and life?

  4. He should trade the Hawaii lady for them and then put a travel advisory against Canadians going to China and then shut the door on their country

  5. The Brian Crowley guy is shamlessly hypocritical. It is politics from the beginning, Canada kidnaped the chinese lady and chinese kidnaped canadians. It is just a simple exchange and the problems solved. Do not predend being anything rather than political kidnaping. Crowley must stop being hypocritical. Think of the michaels and their family. and crowley still talking rubbish. Shame!

  6. Don’t buy anything from China. Let karma handle what they started. China are getting away with silent murder, “China Virus.”
