Meng Wanzhou

Economic Situation:
1. The US caused economic unrest in Canada.
2. China is causing economic unrest in Canada.

Alleged Crime:
1. We do not know for sure if she committed the act or not. What we have here, it is the US version of the event.
2. Assuming if the act did happen in Canada, police has legal jurisdiction to make an arrest. If the act did not happen in Canada, police does not have legal jurisdiction to make an arrest.1
3. Police officers have legal jurisdiction. They cannot go outside of their jurisdiction to make an arrest.


Consequences:
1. China arrested Canadians for crimes.
2. Now, Canada is relying on US to help us to save our fellow Canadians in China.

Conclusion:
Was it worth it? No. It would be beneficial to be pragmatic to call upon Interpol which has rights and responsibility to exercise legal authority around the world.

Endnote:
1.
