The vermin have upped the ante and are now threatening us with “severe consequences”.

Another brilliant move by the Trump administration as this incident is sure to drive a very deep and much needed wedge between us and that evil nation.
Furthermore, anti china sentiment among Canadians which had been steadily rising should now see a huge spike in the face of these vile threats against us.
This arrest is a godsend.
100% agree with BPOM.
Did I just say that?
China calls on Canada to free Huawei CFO or face consequences.
Scary, will they stop all shipments of Fentanyl? Stop buying realestate?
““There will probably be a deep freeze with the Chinese in high-level visits and exchanges,” David Mulroney, former Canadian ambassador to China, said on Friday.”
Oh god no! Will they bring home all of their student spies as well?
Extradite her to the US immediately and tell the chinese to fuck off.

They may close their wide open markets to Canadian sellers. 🙂
Mr. Dressup will not be able to fold. The US will simply forbid him from releasing her.
I wouldn’t be so hasty in ruling out Mr. Dressup’s capacity for stupidity, especially when donations for his campaign fund are at stake.
We’re not exactly dealing with the most rational individual here.
This has to put a chill in the likes of Bob Rennie.
They should all be arrested and then deported.
Hopefully they don’t threaten to stop buying our real estate.
“Canada’s Largest Real Estate Developer Declared A Soft Landing. They’re Wrong”, Better Dwelling
“Break out the champagne for the next open house, because it’s all clear sailing from here. That’s according to the CEO of one of Canada’s largest real estate developers, who declared Canadian real estate achieved a soft landing. The situation is not unlike the US being declared a soft landing in 2006, but just like then – it’s way too early to tell. Here’s what you need for a soft landing, and why Canadian real estate markets aren’t even close at this point”
“Wright: Anxious about interest rates? Well, welcome to the 1980s”, The London Free Press
“In recent weeks, we’ve heard a great deal about the likelihood of “nasty” interest rate increases. Canadian borrowers are being advised to brace for the worst. But what does the worst really look like? Here’s a trip down memory lane but – spoiler alert – it’s not for the faint of heart.”
I lived through this in the early eighties and while I didn’t have a mortgage I did have a car loan at 16.5%
Meh. The global supply of investment capital should prevent bond rates from going up much more. Today is nothing like the relatively egalitarian 1980s.

No comment on my reason #45 on why I’m happy to be a renter?
Jealous Elitist Tratior Pig
It is getting hard to keep track of all your names.
It went into moderation.
Guess your dial up missed it. Here it is for you:
Well since you asked so nicely. Our house was used in a movie shoot on Tuesday of this week.
We were out of the house on Monday while they prepped. Tuesday while they shot and we went back in on Wednesday at 5 after they put it all back the way it was and cleaned it.
We were put up in the Sutton Hotel for 2 nights and given $12,000 for the 3 days as well as $300 per day for food.
The income is tax free as we do not do this for more than 14 days per year.
Reason number 45 I love being a renter!
Thanks Landlord and thanks ETP for asking!
I was going to share my good fortune with the group but it seemed like bragging.
Sweet !
“King County’s median single-family home price fell to $644,000 in November, all the way from $726,000 in the spring, according to new figures released Thursday by the Northwest Multiple Listing Service. Prices have been falling faster here than anywhere else in the country.
The price drop equals 11.3 percent over six months, more than any May-to-November stretch since such data has been tracked.”
That’s about $850K in CAD.
Metro Vancouver is still at an insane 1.5M and down only 6.6% in 6 months.
Must be those Hauwai executives keeping a floor under our prices.
Not really. Only in the places where foreign money was big.
“Our latest poll shows electoral reform preferences closely tied to party support: Liberal supporters clearly voted for First Past the Post (74%), NDP supporters favour Proportionate Representation (73%), Greens more divided (60% PR)”
If these numbers by pollster Insights West holds, then ProRep is dead.
You had better redo your math.
Once again the Greens hold the balance of power.
This poll confirms what I suggested previously: early voters leaned more toward FPTP (52%), while late voters heavily favoured PR (61%).

If last-minute voters made it to the ballot box, PR should pass handily.

Do you think Trump would say he knew about the arrest prior even if he did? Trump is not dumb Drama Teacher.
Yes, he would boast about how awesome he is. Duh.
Probably a bullet point on page 5 of his daily briefing docs. Of course the anti-Trump media are deserate to jump on anything….
Dogface was also unaware.

Methinks the clown who uses VPNs constantly for his web browsing is the one who should be watched. They probably already are.
No, when it’s between a sock puppeteer spamming a real estate board and an outright filthy traitor who is an enemy of the state, it’s definitely the latter that needs to be monitored.
And eventually strung up.
Where you’re in error is that we have due process in this country and no capital punishment. I am posting in defense of those principles first. Without that, we’re no better than the folks in the country posters here continue to decry and criticise. My beef is with the human rights record and the sometimes slimy business practices wherein they certainly do not have a monopoly. I try to hop off the psycho train a few stops ahead of vigilantism and murder. What’s with the uttering threats bullshit?! What the fuck?! That’s just fucking psycho.
I have zero tolerance for those who threaten my freedom, whether it’s attempted censorship by bullying people into being quiet or it’s siding with a hostile enemy nation that intends to destroy our country and way of life.
I WILL defend my freedom, my country and my way of life against evil people like this by any means necessary.
Due process is useless against this type of scum, this is about self defense.
You’re so cute. Nobody is threatening your freedom, dickhead.
Of course you’re not threatening anyone’s freedom.
That’s why you want to shut down this blog.
Prick.
Freedom?
You’re a fucking idiot. Keep playing the victim.
Traitor is triggered.
Oh really? I’m laughing at you!
Are you for censorship or against it? Because every other post you make seems to be an attempt to bully SIDA into being quiet. It doesn’t appear to be working, though.
Too much cognitive dissonance might make your head explode.
Fully against censorship.
If you don’t know why the chinese asshole calls himself “shut it down” then you shouldn’t be asking these questions.

‘Tom Fowdy, a British political analyst writing for the state-run CGTN network, called Canada a party to a “political hostage-taking by the Trump administration.” More than 10,000 commenters piled on to the Twitter-like Weibo page of the Canadian embassy in China, calling Canada an indecent nation, a thug, a jackal and worse.‘
They should get the same treatment here, at least for starters.

Sources close to the president say he has repeatedly shrugged it off, implying that he doesn’t have to worry about the money owed to America’s creditors—currently about $21 trillion—because he won’t be around to shoulder the blame when it becomes even more untenable. The friction came to a head in early 2017 when senior officials offered Trump charts and graphics laying out the numbers and showing a “hockey stick” spike in the national debt in the not-too-distant future. In response, Trump noted that the data suggested the debt would reach a critical mass only after his possible second term in office. “Yeah, but I won’t… Read more »
“Current US National debt a record $21.7 trillion”
On the day that Barack Obama was sworn in—January 20, 2009—the debt was $10.626 trillion. When he left the White House, on January 20, 2017, it was $19.947 trillion.
The only part of Obama’s legacy Trump has not been able to erase in his first 2 years is the record debt Obama accumulated.
Trump has the lowest approval ratings of any president in modern history. Sad!
It’d not be noteworthy except for the fact that he craves attention.
False.
Well, when you’re economy is hot, rather than increase interest rates beyond historical norms, you should decrease government spending and use those funds to pay down the debt, and hopefully the decreased spending will allow for less rate hikes since rate hikes cause recessions.
Under no circumstances should you cut taxes!! This will stimulate the economy further which will require rate hikes which will cause a recession.
New Zealand becomes third Five Eyes member to ban Huawei from 5G network
The move by New Zealand leaves Canada and Britain as the only Five Eyes members that have not banned wireless carriers from installing Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd.’s 5G technology despite strong pressure from the United States. However, Britain recently did raise security concerns about Chinese-supplied telecommunications equipment from companies such as Huawei.
Under Chinese law, companies in China “must support, co-operate with and collaborate in national-intelligence work” as requested by Beijing, and security experts in the United States and Canada warn that equipment produced by firms such as Huawei could be compromised on behalf of China’s ruling party.

One phone call from Trump on this and Turd will wet his pants and do as he is told. Trump just hasn’t made the call yet so Turd doesn’t know what to do.
Impressive imagination.
Snowden left no doubt: the USA is already doing everything they accuse China of. So if we buy all our networking infrastructure from the USA, then American cyber-spooks will own us completely. Likewise, if we bought everything from China, then Beijing would hoover up all our data. If we mix and match gear from both US and China, then neither country will have a complete picture — and they are unlikely to exchange intelligence with each other to fill in the gaps.

Huawei executive arrested at YVR appears to have family ties to Vancouver homes
https://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/huawei-executive-arrested-at-yvr-appears-to-have-family-ties-to-vancouver-homes
I for one am SHOCKED……
😀
““She’s the daughter of the chairman so she would be like Ivanka Trump. She would be the Ivanka Trump of Huawei,” said Abramson, adding that Huawei is like the “Apple of China” and Meng is an extremely important business person.
“It would be like apprehending someone like Bill Gates or some very important American business person.”
No, this is nothing like apprehending Bill Gates.
This is like apprehending the scummy daughter of the scummy owner of a scummy company from china.
You have to think that arrest in YVR is sending shock waves through the corrupt Chinese that have their homes and money stashed here. Vancouver is not so safe anymore. No thanks to Canada but thanks to Trump.
The extradition treaty has been in place for decades. Nothing has changed in that regard, and it had nothing do with Trump.
But when was the last time a high profile Chinese national was arrested in Canada for extradition to the US for white collar crime that could land several life sentences? Never until now. How many wealthy Vancouver new comers could also qualify for similar? Tens of thousands. If you were a Chinese millionaire who had some shady international business dealings would you chance it coming here? Game changer IMO.
Yes, I’m certain that there are tens of thousands of immigrants in Vancouver who’ve been breaching US sanctions on Iran and are currently quaking in their little booties that they might be extradicted. It makes perfect sense.
Yup, pretty much sums it up. You can add doing business with North Korea as well. If the trade war heats up this could be Trumps next tactic. I bet most large Chinese companies have done business with these rogue regimes at some point. Many of these executives own property in Vancouver. The US could start rounding these people up and Canada has no choice but to cooperate. Tariffs were only step one.
Still can’t fathom how all those fucks have Canadian citizenship/passport. Are they just print them in China like boarding passes or there is something else?
It’s Turds way of buying votes.
