You don't "see why" our elected federal government should care while a Canadian citizen dies trying to evade a foreign governments interment camp dragnet?

Do you know how many articles we were bombarded with for years about the "2 Michaels?"

If she was in China or Iran the media and the government would be setting up entire circus parades.

I swear the LPC ball polishing in this group is at the level of parody.

    She was a US PR who had been willingly living in the US for 14 years. Her Canadian citizenship is only an incidental fact that has no relation to the story; she could have been from anywhere. This was not a political move against Canada the way Spavor and Kovrig were. It was very unfortunate, and we should be sad about her death, and sad about the state of the US, but this is not the doing of any party, government, policy, or law in Canada. This was done solely by the US. They created this situation, they pushed her to her death. If you can't see that, you're either incredibly disingenuous or stupid.
