Remember over two years ago Trump called on Canada to arrest Meng
Wanzho under a treaty agreement? We did as bid, then he has done
nothing more, which makes us unpopular with China and receiving
boycotts. They also arrested two Canadian citizens in China and
unlike Meng who has been under house arrest in her million dollar home
with merely an anklet to restrict her, they have been in solitary
cells with lights on 24/24. (One of my uncles was a POW in Korea back
when and he always said that was the worst punishment, it really gets
through to you) so it is yet another reason I hate and detest Trump.

So moving forward, the other day the Chinese claimed our fishermen had
sent lobsters to them with Covid 19????
