Canada's ambassador being extremely evasive.
Basically stating point blank that the US government provided no conditions whatsoever for the release of the Michaels as condition for Mang Wanzhou's release, and that both situations and timing are completely coincidental and unrelated.
Ok.
Not that the details matter in the grand scheme of things. China took 2 Canadians hostage as retaliation to an obligation with a US treaty, and Canada got absolutely nothing out of it and stuck in between a squabble between two world powers.
Canadians must realize that both China (and the US for that matter) are not our friends. Canada had zero power through the whole process (and I put zero blame on the Trudeau government for the situation he got delt on this one). As asked in the question period, who will be the two next Michaels? Why even chance travelling to China?
