  1. umm...we DID do the USA's dirty work. For some strange reason, we have a treaty with the USA that says we MUST arrest anyone that the USA asks for...and should extradite them....no questions asked. Not sure why...

  2. Canada is the only country that has a treaty with the USA that says we MUST arrest anyone they tell us to, regardless of citizenship, regardless of crime, any time they tell us to. No other country has such a treaty with the USA....they require evidence, extradition for only certain crimes, etc. Wonder who the dork was that signed THAT treaty??

  4. Half the country would starve without China (the poorer half, of course) Walmart and Amazon wouldn't exist....they're known as the "retail arms of the Chinese govt" for a reason, and all those ppl would lose their jobs as well.

  5.  @forthisin9586  our treaty seems to be more all-encompassing than most. The USA can ask us to arrest ANYbody, citizen or visitor, at any time, for any crime, or just because, and turn them over to the USA, no questions asked. Other countries limit their arrests to citizens only, for certain egregious crimes, etc. Like Robert Halili said, Mexico also has a treaty with the USA, but declined to arrest Meng. We COULDN'T decline, by order of Canada's treaty....the only reason Meng got a hearing in Canada is that Trump was in power when this started and it was made fairly clear that what he really wanted her for was as a bargaining chip in trade talks. Embarrassing!!

  7.  @3yexQSx  once in a long while we do, just to give the Americans grief, but for the most part we stick pretty closely to the treaty. I was surprised that Meng got a hearing. I think it was because Trump was in power, and some had made it fairly clear that Meng's charges were a bargaining chip for trade with china. All the best to you!!
