What I don’t really understand, is the issues surrounding Meng’s extradition. How strong is the US case? This seems to be driving most of the conversation (at least when it comes to the Michaels), that I would prefer Canada to address that issue head on.

Sure and that's why she's getting her court date and the full attention of the justice system without the government interfering in it, as you know it should be. However, China responded by taking hostages, and running them through a Kangeroo court where the government dictates the verdict.
Meng and its legitimacy will certainly be settled properly and legally. The Michael's will continue to be abused and tortured and denied basic human rights.
