We Canadians have seen much of foreign journalists srew up
on the news that they actually report askewdly.
(if there is such a word as askewdly, but you know what I mean)
Sad it is to say that Canadians are goofing off right now
in reporting about Meng Wanzhou, and China relatively.
And I will say it outright, the CBC NEWS hosts are too much engrossed
in Canada being a Country of Laws.
I agree, of course, and that is the veritable truth:
Canadians are a nation of Laws.
But then again CBC NEWS ought to know what they are talking about.
This whole Wangzhou affair
has got the Chinese rapping wood on their rafters.
For good reason, nobody is sent to prison there
if one did not do anything wrong.
Meng was sent to prison just like that.
And EXTRADITION is new to the Chinese law books.
It is therefore justifiable, for the Chinese
to stick this Canadian guy to prison
without any charges laid
which we expect to be drummed up soon.
Anyhow, it is a tooth for a tooth, an eye for en eye,
and a jail for a jail with no charges laid.
But let us now see how much CBC NEWS know
about the Rule of Law in Canada.
For the charge violating the sanctions against Iran,
Canada cannot extradite Meng because
it is America that has the sanctions against Iran.
Canada does not have sanctions against Iran.
For Meng to be extradited, her offense against America
must also be considered an offense in Canada.
This would be the first item that Meng’s defense lawyers would put up.
This is one prime article in the Extradition Treaty between Us and Canada.
And talking about this Extradition treaty,
the US would have only one charge
that may have a slim chance of sticking–
that of Annexes 12 and 16 (specifically annex 16)
which would be the charge of
“Fraud by a banker, agent, or by a director or officer of any company”
But then again, if this happened in Iran
this still will not stick because Canada
does not have any sanctions on Iran.
Canada may take into consideration
that this type of fraud (whatever it is)
may also constitute an offense in Canada,
in which case extradition may be considered.
But then again, it did not happen in Canada
so there.
The question is: will that guy being imprisoned in China
be able to afford a $10 million bail
as an eye for an eye?
