No wonder Canadians are being treated so horribly by China. They can do whatever they want to us and the Liberals still roll over.
In a pathetic display of craven weakness, Liberal Ambassador to China John McCallum is apparently siding with Communist China in the Meng Wanzhou extradition case.
There have been multiple reports that McCallum held closed-door talks with Chinese-language media, talks that purposely excluded English-language media to the extent that the Liberals tried keeping it a secret.
However, video has now surfaced showing what McCallum said.

McCallum is now taking the side of Communist China, using the exact same wording and rhetoric the Communist state has used.
He’s criticizing our ally the United States, and basically giving tips to Meng Wanzhou on how she can fight extradition.
It’s among the most pathetic displays of weakness seen by anyone in a Canadian government, and it is an absolute disgrace.
And the fact that English-language media was excluded is appalling and totally anti-democratic.
Even CBC reporters are outraged:
“Remember how we reported last night Canada is starting to publicly point out the US is behind the arrest, throw the blame at Washington, and that Canada is frustrated? McCallum takes it waaaaaaaaay further in this scrum with Chinese media in Canada.”

Also, a reporter aside, kinda furious we were not given a heads up about any sort of media avail with McCallum in Canada. What the hell is that about???

Clearly, McCallum and the Trudeau Liberal government has now chosen the path of disloyalty, weakness, and sucking up to Communist China.
Not only is this disgusting, but it’s dangerous, because China is now seeing that no matter how badly they treat Canadians, the Canadian government still rolls over for them. In fact, China will likely see this as confirmation that their abuse of Canadians is getting them what they wanted, and will incentivize them to kidnap more Canadians.
Pathetic weakness has consequences, and Canadians are going to pay the price for the weakness of ‘our’ government.
