Factually, we have succesfully extradited and continue to do so (see Randall Wilson's post). We simply don't have inked paper to administratively streamline the process.

Many posters suggest that a treaty is possible when two countries have a relatively harmonized justice system. Their corrupt thinking assumes that Chinas's system is flawed, and ours is perfect. It is my opinion that Canada needs to TOUGHEN it's prosecution and sentencing system.

The purpose of that system is to denounce crimes against victims, keep offenders away from society, to have the criminals realize the gravity of the aftermath of their crimes, return to respectng our laws, and most importantly, as a DETERRENT to others before they commit crime. Question: Is Canada's system serving the victims? Is it deterring crime?

Question: If you are a criminal, unrestrained by intl borders, and have the choice of either country in which to commit the same crime, with similar proceeds, which country would you choose?
