Re: Canadian Given Death Penalty
I think the more interesting aspect of this story is whether China is using this sudden death penalty to exert leverage on Ms Huwawei arrested in Vancouver. It's a demonstration of Chinese power.

I must declare an interest here. Ms Huwawei is one of my death pool picks this year.

Re: Canadian Given Death Penalty
Also Canada has a big problem with drugs coming from China, It would be as well to discourage Canadians from participating in that business.
