Letter: Canada’s part in Meng extradition case shameful
By Letter to the Editor on August 20, 2021.
Dear editor, Thanks for the extensive coverage you have provided on this extradition case. I have no legal training or expertise but I have a lot of experience knowing what is right and what is wrong. And there is a whole lot more here that is wrong than there is right. Robert Frater appears full of bombast citing possible financial loss, damaged reputation etc. Factual details seem to be missing and/or overlooked. From what has been reported almost daily over the last couple of years, I have to conclude that there has been continual collusion between the RCMP, Canada Border Services and the U.S. Government with Trump being regularly mentioned. The same Trump that appears to have used the U.S. Justice Department for his own personal wishes. I don’t think the Attorney General and his minions have been anywhere near honest and forthcoming with the evidence they have. Or don’t have. China is playing hardball here. How Canada is perceived to treat visiting foreigners will have lasting consequences for us around the world. Can we legally and morally extradite Meng who doesn’t appear to have broken any Canadian law? The alleged victim, HSBC, does not have a stellar moral reputation in my mind. Just the opposite. So the possibility they “might” suffer an economic loss doesn’t factor into my view of this case. All of the bad actors appear to be part of the prosecution. I am ashamed of Canada’s part in this fiasco. Keith Pearce Medicine Hat 14-13
