I would have thought this but surprise surprise ... the 2 Michaels are released and on a flight back ... they can wave to Meng over the Pacific Ocean somewhere.

Canada had two choices in this situation... Arrest Meng for extradition, or break their extradition treaty with the US.

That's all I will say (and all that should need to be said) because otherwise we're just going to go back and forth being mean to each other (which you're already doing anyway)

isn't michael spavor one of Kim's lapdogs? they should've kept him lol

Canada was fucked, but had no choice. It's like when you were kids and your buddy started a fight you knew you'd lose but had to jump in anyways.
edit: after reading what twitchy posted, it's a good reminder how often we all have opinions of things and really have no fucking clue what we are talking about. I definitely wouldn't have been as upset about a Canadian rotting in a foreign prison if he was homies with a dictator.

Wow I'm shocked the two Michael's r on their way back

China has no shame lmao


But glad they're released

Wonder if the accused drug dealer will at least have his death sentence reduced

I was shocked at first too, because it makes it as obvious as possible that it was nothing but retaliation

But your point is probably true

It was probably part of the US deal with China n all but man the optics...

i thought it would be .. say 2 months.. and say nope.. wasn't a retaliation, just finally gave the two michael proper trial.
but dang... china, instantly released.. 100% tit for tat politics.

We need to 'Thanks' US the A

to create this mess
and now saved 2 Micheal

:fullofwin:


** Wanzhou Meng boarded plane and left Vancouver reported by CTV this evening :toot:

That escalated quickly, we could have saved 2 years if we released her earlier

^You know we didn't release her on our own accord right? She was released because the charges are being dropped by the US.

There were "agreements" made where she pleads not guilty and she has to abide to certain things. We don't know what they are but 100% those have to do with why they dropped the charges.

rofl flying over arctic to avoid alaska

did you forget the Belarusian hijacking last year? that’s careful planning to avoid US airspace

she could've done that 3 years ago to avoid this shitshow but she chose to fly cx

She chartered an air China flight to fly back I wonder how much that costs.

Chump change to her.

I'm assuming we're not hearing the whole story here, otherwise why did this take so long?

That seems a bit pointless?

Yah nothing about the 2 Michael's is related to Meng, but they're released the same day.

They all think we're stupid or something?

Should really consider cutting stuff out with China, start requiring crazy visas for everyone coming here and restricting time spent, make it hard for PR status... I'm not a nationalist by any stretch of the imagination but that country is on a dangerous trend and doesn't deserve easy access to any first world countries anymore.

Back on Canadian soil.

At first I thought China wouldn't release the 2 Michaels anytime close to Meng's release ... now I think China released them at the same time is their way of saying Eff You ... we won the prisoner exchange game, what are you going to do about it?

To support your statement...

-video showing Turd greeting the two Michaels at Calgary International Airport early this morning. -good choice of Calgary airport for the flight home in order for the Michaels to avoid the media circus in Vancouver.

Welcome home guys!!! :thumbsup:

I read that Meng didn't agree to this when the offer was made earlier.

^it looks a silly scene out of a comedic kdrama
