It’s Probably Nothing

1. Imagine if this was the Americans.

2. Indeed, since the tariffs started, and all the hyperbole about how ‘dangerous’ America is to visit (!)

   China leads the Death Count, 4-0

   America leads the Hurt Feels count, 31,456,789 to 4

3. A strongly worded letter should do the trick.

4. My summary of the Canadian plebes … pledges … pledges of Liberal allegiance…

5. Remember that time China arrested two Michaels on espionage charges and sentenced them to death after Canada kidnapped Huawei’s CFO?

   Remember that time Canada claimed the two Michaels weren’t spies and China was engaging in “hostage diplomacy”?

   Remember that time Huawei’s CFO was released after a deal and all charges against her was dropped less than 12 months later?

   Remember that time Michael Spavor then sued Michael Kovrig along with the Canadian government accusing Kovrig of working for Canada’s intelligence services and tricking him into spying for Canada?

   Remember that time the Canadian government then settled with the Michaels for millions and non-disclosure agreements?

   Yeah, I sure do remember that time China was truthful and Canada lied.

   100% Schellenberg is a drug mule.

   Don’t be involved with drugs in China if you’re not prepared to die for it.

6. Wow, how about a nice round of applause for China’s spectacular 99% conviction rate. They must have some fantastic prosecutors. Amazing!!!!

   Incidentally, why hasn’t Ottawa named the four Canadians executed by China last month? That wouldn’t be an attempt not to seem weak during an election season, would it?

7. Apparently these “four other Canadians” that China executed were put to death for the crime of having no name

8. Communist dictatorship. Not sure what more needs to be said to try and dissuade people from going there.

   Sympathy level = 0.

   1. Agreed. I can’t figure out why any thinking Canadian adult would travel to the land of the chicomms. I mean, it’s record for arbitrary arrest, detention and show trials of innocents rivals that of Ottawa.

      1. At least the Chi coms only trample you with Pandas, our corrupt cops are probably still beating off about how much they enjoyed trampling Canadians.

9. They were dual Canadian-Chinese citizens that were residing in China. Why Should Canadians care? It is completely possible that they were involved in the drug trade, given Chinese involvement in fentanyl in BC.

   1. There are no dual Canadian-Chinese citizens residing in China.
      The CPC considers very native born Chinese a Chinese citizen first and only.
      Even when they come here to “live”.
      Every one here is subject to doing their “duty” to the motherland if required.
      If they got the standard bullet to the back of the head the gov there REALLY didnt like them.
      And nothing old Mark or anyone here is going to make them change that sentence.
      Well…maybe if you work for Powercorp that may change it. (sarc)

   2. the problem is that they were involved in the drug trade in china, the PRC wouldn’t care if they were involved in the BC drug trade

10. The media ignoring those tariffs whilst whipping up the anti-US crowd is telling, some days I wonder who is running this country and I don’t mean the liberals.

    1. That would be the Laurentian Elite, the Liberal Party is just their front organization.

11. So I am waiting for all of the provincial liquor stores to take all Chinese products off the shelves…. Crickets!

    1. If that happens, the shelves will have some mighty big empty gaps.

12. If these people had been facing the death penalty in some far-off place called, oh….California, the feds would have spent millions just trying to block the trial. Anywhere else gets a strongly worded letter.

13. (NewsNation) — For more than a decade, American businessman Mark Swidan has been detained in China, and sentenced to death on drug charges despite a lack of evidence.

    Earlier this month, the People’s Republic of China’s Jiangmen Intermediate Court upheld the death penalty for Swidan, a move the State Department said it is “disappointed by.”

    In a statement, officials said they “will continue to press for his immediate release and return to the United States.”

    Swidan isn’t the only American stuck in China — according to Newsweek, more than 200 U.S. citizens at various stages of prosecution remain wrongfully detained in China.

    Wiki update:
    Mark Swidan is an American designer, artist, photographer and businessman[1] from Houston, Texas. He was detained in China from 2012 to 2024. In 2019, Swidan was charged with drug trafficking in China and sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve by a court in Guangdong.[2] on April 14, 2023, the Guangdong court upheld the sentence.[2] The U.S. government and the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention considered Swidan wrongfully detained.[2] He was released on November 27, 2024, as part of a prisoner swap with China.[3]

14. The Chi coms would be very careful about executing an American, a Canadian? Whack.
