This comment repeats comment to an earlier article concerning extradition.

Justin and the decision makers behind the Liberals have a yes/no choice in proceeding with an extradition treaty with China. The real issue is the basis of their choice. The article argues through past CSIS directors saying no that the Canadian (and global) public interest is best served by continuing to offer a safe harbour to people opposing the Chinese Government. They are smart enough that a safe harbour also shelters corrupt officials fleeing China. The Globe article does not educate readers of how deals are done behind closed doors – to be buddy-buddy and do business with China requires concessions. Does making-money trump the public interest?
