RE:RE:Another dimension.Hi Gabriel, I definitely think a settlement is in the interest of everyone and in keeping with world norms. Ericsson just emphasized the ridiculousness of the Canadian poster regarding SNC. I welcome the prospect! My contention is if SNC is settled prior to a Meng resolution the Chinese will likely infer there was a political influence at the center, rightly or wrongly. As Canada has stressed that the Canadian courts are independent and in the case of Meng we are helpless to assist politically, the Chinese would in my opinion react negatively to the perceived double standard. Political "influence" for SNC but not Meng. I can understand that interpretation due to the news coverage on SNC and the political infighting within the Liberal caucus earlier. Now if we resolve Meng in the most sensible fashion...let her go, we risk a negative response from Trump as he may declare we have forsaken our international law enforcement treat responsibility. Remember Meng was requested to be detained by US when the trade talks were stalled. So I think Canada is between a rock and a hard place. Facing retribution from two vindictive despots for a perceived slights. So desiring to avoid negative responses for these situations I think the government would prefer to get the NAFTA treaty signed to take a possible delay or reopen by Trump because Meng released. As well, after NAFTA let Meng go (hopefully) before settling SNC in order to avoid Chinese retaliation because we "interferred" in court for SNC but not Meng. So IMO SNC settlement will be after the other to issues resolved if the weaken government would like the best outcome, realising they only have a limited amount of control. I think it is the BLOCs interest to avoid tariffs too, even though they would like to help SNC sooner. My guess patience is required and will prevail in this case. I do agree a settlement would be fantastic and justified.
