With two Canadians — Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor — detained in China on bogus, tit-for-tat charges related to the Meng case, the Liberals really need to walk their talk.
Most public discussion since Jody Wilson-Raybould’s explosive testimony Wednesday to the House of Commons justice committee has focused on whether the prime minister and his officials pressured the former attorney-general inappropriately to interfere in an SNC-Lavalin criminal case, and whether the Liberal government’s future is at risk.
Lu is raising an important point about Trudeau government hypocrisy. This isn’t to suggest that anyone extend their agreement to the view of China’s totalitarians that political interference in criminal prosecutions is acceptable. It isn’t, and that’s what makes the behaviour of the PM and his team so serious.
Freeland cautioned, “our extradition partners should not seek to politicize the extradition process or use it for ends other than the pursuit of justice and following the rule-of-law.”
