The 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.

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.
