more and more, among upcoming global cities, Toronto and Dubai make the most sense for the next big financial centers.
- rwmj 7y agoDubai and "rule of law" are not often things you hear in the same sentence.

- mensetmanusman 7y agoCanada is blacklisted by China now because they stand up to China more often...
- majia 7y agobecause they stand up to the US less often...
- mcrae 7y agoI'm not sure what you would've liked to have happen here? Canada has a valid extradition treaty with the US. It was a lawful arrest of a person who violated American law. Should Canada not follow it's own international agreements so that it can meet your standard of "standing up the the US"? Don't be ridiculous.
- throwaway7921 7y agoCanada has rejected US extradition requests before.
- majia 7y agoCanada law doesn’t allow extradition if the prosecution is politically motivated. When trump said Meng’s case could be part of a trade deal, it shows the political nature. Yet canada chose not to reject the request because of US pressure.
- geogra4 7y agoby kidnapping the daughter of a corporate executive?
- barry-cotter 7y agoThe US does kidnap people but I’m not aware of evidence of Canada doing so. They did uphold their treaty obligations to extradite a corporate executive who had committed a crime under US law. She was arrested and is under house arrest now, I believe, while defending herself in open court. This is not a privilege she would be offered on anything resembling those circumstances in the PRC.
- DiogenesKynikos 7y agoI'm sure they could have found an excuse to avoid arresting her. The US would have been angry, but that would have blown over quickly. Instead, the Canadian government has gotten itself into a situation in which it's facing intense pressure from both China and the US, and will alienate one or the other country, whatever it does. It would have been much smarter to avoid being pulled into the middle of the US-China trade war.
