From my understanding Baird talked directly to the government there, and the Canadian Government had people following the trial, I don't understand what the family expected the government to do. Its unlikely that the government is going to interfere in the trial, or are they just going to stop the trial and turn him lose because the Canadian government asked nicely.

If he was being held for a undue length of time without charges or due process the Canadian government could do more, but once the charges are laid and he enters their justice system so to speak there's not a whole lot that can be done.

The Government isn't going to send in JTF2 to make a daring rescue, Canadian Lawyers aren't going to flock there to represent him.

They can advise the defendant, they can ask the government of the country in question to help, but most governments can't or won't interfere in a trial as the legal system to an extent has to be separated from undue command interference from the government.

Now that he's convicted and sentenced the government can probably try to negotiate a release to Canadian custody.

But railing at the government here makes no sense and outside of the family if I understand the story changing their story about Canadian involvement. There was involvement and it was at a fairly high ministerial level if the story is to be believed.
