Canada can choose to walk away, which would be smart. But apparently there is some miscalculation, now they stuck in between two superpowers.

- gruez 8y ago>Canada can choose to walk away What is "walking away" in this context? Releasing Meng, and in the process, reneging on the extradition treaty?
- alexeldeib 8y agoBased on the context of the two comments you replied to, my interpretation of “walking away” would be Canada declining to further escalate retribution toward China. Presumably retribution drags them in on the side of the US, but abstaining pins them between two superpowers.
- karmasimida 8y agoYour claim makes it sound like Canada has to do whatever US told it to do under any circumstance. I had hard time to believe that is the actual situation here.
- gruez 8y ago>Your claim makes it sound like Canada has to do whatever US told it to do under any circumstance No, Canada has to do whatever the US-Canada extradition treaty says, not whatever the current US administration tells it to do. >I had hard time to believe that is the actual situation here. How so?
- kerng 8y agoCanada is not stuck in between, they know exactly which side they are on. It's pretty obvious.
- nutcracker46 8y agoThey are not stuck. They are adhering to the principle called rule of law, where the accused are extradited, tried in court, and guilt is based on evidence instead of family status.
