Reason #46396 Why Canada can't be trusted. Smile in you face, stab you in the back, talk from both sides of the mouth...the Canadian way. Lead by the RCMP naturally.
Don't even need an extradition agreement, we will send them back to face their fate with pleasure as long as China agrees to send us some cheap labour. At the same time we will tell the world we are a nation that believe in the rule of law and Human Rights. It's a load of b.s. If anyone thinks for a minute that Canada doesn't undermine and threaten American interests I have a bridge to sell them.
Canada deports hundreds to China each year with no treatment guarantee
The Canadian government is deporting hundreds of people to China each year without receiving any assurances that they will not be tortured or otherwise mistreated, statistics provided to The Globe and Mail reveal.
Canada and China do not have a formal extradition treaty, and the Trudeau government has signalled that it may not complete such a deal out of concern about abuses in the Chinese justice system.
The lack of such a deal has not, however, stopped Canada from sending people back to China. The Canada Border Services Agency has used deportation, expelling 1,386 people to China over the past three years, according to agency statistics.
It’s a process that lawyers, academics and former diplomats say offers too few protections against the mistreatment deportees might endure.
It also places Canada at risk of using evidence rooted in coerced confessions as Canadian authorities make decisions on ejecting people, particularly those sought by Beijing as part of its sweeping global Skynet operation to chase people it calls corrupt fugitives.
When people are returned to a country such as China, “there’s a need for very significant and enforceable assurances about the treatment they will receive and monitoring on the part of Canada – which Canada has not done,” said Sharryn Aiken, an expert on immigration and refugee law at Queen’s University.
“And in the absence of monitoring, people die in jail.”
The United Nations Committee against Torture has said that in China “the practice of torture and ill-treatment is still deeply entrenched in the criminal-justice system.”
Canada’s own foreign service recently signed its name to a letter saying there are “credible claims of torture” against people under interrogation in China.
