I think understanding of the Meng case is overly colored by reporting at the time. Looking at the wikipedia summary now, it's a bunch of law enforcement misconduct, questionable practices, and critical legal commentary. Hell the Canadian judge herself said "Isn't it unusual that one would see a fraud case with no actual harm many years later and one in which the alleged victim, a large institution, appears to have numerous people within the institution who had all that facts that are now said to have been misrepresented?" Frankly nothing seems redeeming at all for the US or Canada. in this light, the retaliation is justified, no? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Maybe reconsider how much to let the US boss you around.
