“Moments of fear, pain, disappointment, helplessness, torment, and struggle” (Meng Wanzhou)

“If you don't laugh, you'll cry” was a side-heading in Maclean’s this morning, suggesting, it seems, that we should stop whinging about the plight of Kovrig and Spavor in China when compared to Meng in Canada.  Discussing the detention facilities of each person, while not explaining often enough why detention is applied, is a misuse of media responsibility.

China’s roads East and West, to eventual domination have enabled Huawei to expand its 5G security systems into Brazil and, thus, throughout South America.  Meng, chairperson and chief executive of her father’s company (Huawei) and family friend of Xi Jinping has been accused of fraudulent dealings with Iran, and this has created a US arrest warrant.

Knowing, obviously, that she would be arrested whenever travelling in the US, an important visit to Brazil required a diversion.  Normally, flights from China to Brazil require one stop in the US (normally Los Angeles).  Therefore, Meng booked her route via Vancouver, hardly imagining that peaceful Canada would be alerted of her arrival … silly woman !

“Tomorrow will mark one year since Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor were detained by Chinese authorities in retaliation for Canadian police picking up telecom executive Meng Wanzhou on a U.S. arrest warrant. While out on partial — or should that be palatial — bail, she's found the time to read more books and complete an oil painting. Kovrig and Spavor meanwhile languish in cramped jail cells where the lights are kept on all night and they have no access to lawyers.”                  [Maclean’s]

It seems to me that the Canadian court for extradition is being deliberately, Trudeau-inspired, inactive in this case and, no doubt, if the verdict demands extradition, Meng will take it for years of appeal at the Supreme Court.  She, knowingly, did wrong and, therefore, extraditing her to the US must be the only course of action … now.

Please let me know.  For example, allowing her appeal will extend the horrendous conditions suffered by Kovrig and Spavor.

🇨🇦 Canada's Future Hope 🇨🇦

A Triad of Government Forces

I have removed this from my eMail in order to continue a serious discussion.  My point is that Mr. Trudeau must be removed from his position of decision-maker, and place our country back on the world's stage.

The removal from power (coup d’tat) would follow the actions of Security Minister Saijjan, as written in my next Best Seller, ’The Butterfly and the Tiger’ (Humour).

There being no possibility of finding a male heir, with the necessary tiger-like characteristics, anywhere in government and, thus, by studying an important temperament (or temper) of Mr. Trudeau, i.e., successful feminism, we can deduce the need for a female Triad of Government Forces, with teeth, for future success.

I feel that it is very important to remind people of the credentials of those selected candidates.

Rona Ambrose is a former Canadian politician who was interim leader of the Conservative Party and the Leader of the Opposition between 2015 and 2017.  She was the Conservative Party member of the House of Commons for Sturgeon River—Parkland between 2015 and 2017, and had previously represented Edmonton—Spruce Grove from 2004 to 2015.  In her first term as an Opposition MP, she was the Conservative Party's Intergovernmental Affairs critic. Ambrose also served as vice-chair of the Treasury Board and has held multiple cabinet positions as Canada's Minister of Health,  Environment, Intergovernmental Affairs, Western Economic Diversification, Labour, Public Works and Government Services, and Status of Women. She was President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada.  She is also a former communication consultant and public policy consultant for the Alberta government.  Although it is rumoured that she may become the next Canadian Ambassador to the US, a successful return as Prime Minister should not be beyond our imagination.

Lisa Raitt  served as the Deputy Leader of the Opposition from 2017 to 2019. She was the Conservative Party deputy leader, and was the Member of Parliament for the Ontario riding of Milton from 2015 to 2019, having previously represented Halton from 2008 to 2015. She is a lawyer and professional administrator (1999–2008) turned politician (2008–2019). Raitt served in several portfolios (Minister of Natural Resources, Labour, Transport, Opposition Critic for Finance, and Deputy Party Leader) as a minister in the 28th Canadian Ministry of Stephen Harper.

Caroline Mulroney  is a Canadian-American businesswoman, lawyer and politician who is currently serving as the Ontario Minister of Transportation and Minister Responsible for Francophone Affairs.  She is the elected MPP for the riding of York—Simcoe in the 2018 election as a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario and was a candidate in the 2018 Ontario Progressive Conservative Party leadership election, placing third. She served as Attorney General of Ontario from 2018 to 2019.  Mulroney grew up in Ottawa, before being educated at Harvard University and the New York University School of Law.   She also served on the board of directors of the Windsor–Detroit Bridge Authority.  Although somewhat a rookie politician, her family connections and dual nationality would be extremely useful.  Perhaps, our representative at the United Nations should suit her.

Jody Wilson-Raybould  also known by her initials JWR and by her Kwak’wala name Puglaas, is a Canadian politician who serves as an Independent Member of Parliament for the British Columbia riding of Vancouver Granville. She served as Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada in the cabinet of Justin Trudeau from 2015 until January 2019 and then as Minister of Veterans Affairs of Canada from January 14, 2019, until resigning on February 12, 2019.  Before entering Canadian federal politics, she was a Crown Prosecutor for British Columbia, a Treaty Commissioner and Regional Chief of the B.C. Assembly of First Nations.  Although well qualified to assume a ministerial position in government, she would be especially well-suited to become our long-awaited indigenous Governor General ... in my opinion.

My position is to suggest and encourage a new party with both gentle, determined, and ambitious policies, for which the example shown could be respected both globally … and south of our border.

I feel sure that there are a few male chauvinists and not-me females that may be amused by my theory for a successful government, and let me assure you that men have not been excluded, but allow me to present the candidate's credentials, as I see them.

As usual, I seriously welcome your thoughtful views.
