Is this a part of the 'severe consequences' china threatened over the arrest of their huawei agent? How will the West counter their escalation?
> OTTAWA -- A former Canadian diplomat who worked as a political lead for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's 2016 visit to Hong Kong has reportedly been arrested in China.
>The International Crisis Group says it's aware of media reports that Michael Kovrig, its northeast Asia senior adviser, has been detained. A member of the organization wrote in a short email that it has no additional information yet.
>"We are doing everything possible to secure additional information on Michael's whereabouts as well as his prompt and safe release," the organization said in a statement.
>Global Affairs Canada has yet to respond to a request for comment. China's embassy in Ottawa also has yet to provide a response to a request for information.
This is really a dumb move on China's part to go tit for tat. People were worried about her arrest damaging trade relations, but this now cancels that out. If anything, it damages relations with BOTH the U.S. AND Canada. That is if the leafs don't cuck out to China.
>That is if the leafs don't cuck out to China. i hope they dont but there are so many chinese agents in place in canada that one of them is the PM. He admires their basic dictatorship.
Benjamin Long
Yeah, that fucking idiot is proof that Murphy's Law is a fact of life.
chinada needa to be cut out from the five eyes network. they are an open book to the chinese.
Nicholas Nelson
That true. Canadians wonder why America is scrutinizing then when they just installed Chinese underwater listening devices. I'm SURE it's just to study whale calls.

and canada is having their 5G done by china. i dont want to get sci-fi but that is very very bad.

This is a revenge for not annexing Canada yet. Hurry up burgers, we're in agony here.
Samuel Powell
check this out, it is the latest in mindreading tech you can do this shit with 5g or just a smartphone with the right app.
you can also do 'mindwriting' with transcranial magnetic stimulation and so forth. pretty soon people will agree to it in exchange for continued facebook use.
Former diplomat. Guy is at fault for being in China. Absolutely meaningless. Canada let some hostages get their heads ripped off a few years ago in the Philippines, Trudeau isn't going to do shit here.
Grayson Wood
you're either callous or stupid or both.
Leo Flores
lol
Luke Thomas
Tit-for-tat hostage taking is exactly the response I expected. Of course it's a leaf too, JT is gonna be way easier to pressure and he's not really into working with Trump.
Michael Harris
Is America hiding nukes up here? Can we please have the button? Please? We'll give you all of our syrup. Fuck it, I'll tape together a bunch of piping and we can have an oil pipeline! I'll do it myself.
Thomas Sullivan
Uhhhh....bad news. We're just not into annexation anymore, if ever. Nowadays, it's not at all easy to get statehood even if you beg for it. Sorry about it. Interesting. I'll check that out. Thanks.
>5G is readily absorbed by air >can barely pass through a leaf you should take your meds
Noah Cooper
Canada has to work with Trump. This country has absolutely zero leverage in any foreign relations. Small population, shitty military, most of our GDP is trade with the US. The only option for Canada is to suck Trump's dick and smile doing it. If Trudeau lets the Huawei bitch go I honestly hope Trump sanctions Canada and gets it over with for this pitiful place.
Kayden Bennett
can't wait to send millions of 'we are sorry' dollars to chinks god bless leafistan

you'll get free polar bears, we'll even throw in the eskimos performing a little dance every 4th of July.
you think about it.
Zachary Kelly
you hold a smartphone to your head cochise.
how do you think the diplomats are being brain-damaged? beam weapons? haha fucking dumbass.
Ryder Morgan
I've thought about it. The Polar bears might catch on fire from all of the BBQs and fireworks on the 4th. There's also the high probability that they would get shot approaching either of those.

you think you are the smart one here?
Cooper Hughes
you don't have to be smart to read but reading will make you smart. what are you afraid of? if you read, you might learn you were wrong all this time about "muh cellphone conspiracy?" EE/RF engineers use this technology, they let their families use it, spend their lives researching it. but you have it all figured out. sure, pal.
Daniel Barnes
the memeflag is a pretty good indicator that it isn't you
Leo Garcia
this is the turkey / gulen thing all over again. dictators start taking hostages as a counter move, thinking that's how you win the game. the sad thing is that they dont realize that's a losing move.
i expect things to get worse too. any americans and canadians in china/hk/macau should leave asap if they can. other five eyes should consider leaving too. anyone planning a trip to china/hk/macau should cancel it asap.
Henry Wilson
cancelling trips to china/leaving if you're there is always good advice
Elijah Rogers
Canada is so compromised by China annexation by the US might be the only option at this point.
Jacob Flores
true
Grayson Phillips
Post stupid shit about Canada. I need to redpill my relatives that this country is a shithole and to not go there
Jack Taylor
good points
Tyler Jackson
You have to go back.

It's because it's starting to look like your country

it doesnt mean Xi wont punish canadians. this is about making you suffer so that you experience pain.
Evan Bell
what can they possibly do? our entire economy depends on the US, China isn't shit to us
David Lopez
that question makes me certain you are not worth talking to. you are just too stupid to comprehend what is occurring.
Jason Adams
yep just avoid the question you dirty fucking chink. your country is fucking powerless and it's driving you nuts
Gavin Nguyen
>this is about making you suffer so that you experience pain.
Haven't Canadians already experienced more than enough pain with this idiot ?
It's interesting that you say that. Trump had always said that Canada's not a problem during the new NAFTA negotiations until Trudeau MADE YOU A PROBLEM. Canada was in the same line of though as Australia up until THAT POINT. Look them nowadays, they played their cards right and were left untouched. Trudeau MADE you a problem and I can't blame Trump for doing what he did.
Ethan Russell
i think that you are the pro chinese person
i can imagine that whatever the Chinese are doing to your diplomats will only get worse. maybe theyll dump even more fentanyl into canada.
Brandon Clark
No. Any fuck willing to go to China deserves what they get. Fuck China and fuck niggers.
Asher Bailey
>maybe theyll dump even more fentanyl into canada
we can only hope. fuck all these addicts
Ryan Allen
you dont come across as a patriotic canadian. it is almost like compassion is alien to you.
>if you detain our criminal, we'll detain this completely innocent man as revenge I don't understand
Kevin Lee
why should i give a fuck about scum that steal, beg, and leech off hard working taxpayers? if they wanna play the drug lotto they fucking deserve whatever happens
Grayson King
do you have a vagina? are you an overweight woman who doesn't get enough male attention?
Joseph Hernandez
>maybe theyll dump even more fentanyl into canada.
that in no way affects what the chinese are about to do to canada.
Nolan Cruz
Canada is whiter than America ;) Any screenshot saying "49%" is missing the extra "40%" or so of White Canadians identifying as "Canadian" :P
Jack Hernandez
for the under 30 age bracket, it is not majority white. there are only 1900 blondes under age 30 in canada right now

more details on case:
