She hasn't broken any Canadian laws. The very fact that Canada is holding her for extradition when Canadian law clearly states that extradition is only for crimes which are crimes in both countries, is a human right violation.
Meng has not broken any Canadian laws so the very fact that Canada is holding her for a US accusation makes it a political decision and not purely legal. Hence what politicians say has a much bigger impact on extradition than on simple legal cases. e.g. Venezuela has accused the CEOs of many oil companies of sabotaging trade with Venezuela to cause a famine. These CEOs are guilty under Venezuelan laws but Canada is not arresting and sending them over because Extradition is ALL ABOUT POLITICS.
Paradise was built in a known fire trap. The previous fire chief resigned within a month as he knew there was no way to defend Paradise against a forest fire. People need to stop building in fire trap areas and if they want to build then PGE should not be forced to provide service to them. During the Bankruptcy PGE should be broken up into 2 companies - a good PGE which serves urban areas and a bad PGE to serve firetrap areas and which charges higher tariffs to cover the risk and additional equipment. I am tired of subsidizing rural folks. Housing in the cities is crazy expensive. I dont have the spare funds to subsidize people who want to live in the wilderness.
More fertilizer runs off from lawns than farms. Farmers are businessmen. They dont want to waste money by adding more than needed whereas homeowners are amateurs. Ban fertilizer at Home Depot et al and you fix the runoff issue.
It would be way too labor intensive to check every person's luggage to see if they had a sunscreen with a banned ingredient. You would need a DEA sized workforce. "War on Sunscreen" just doesnt have the ring to it that "War on Drugs" has. The ban is more of a suggestion.
Think of all the Christmas Markets which get setup around this time. They need permits and its the job of the organizer to provide security (or pay the police dept for it). Facebook has setup the largest Christmas in the Park and not spent anything on security. So yeah we need to take their permit away and shut them down till they spend enough on security to ensure the safety of the general public attending.
Facebook is not a newspaper. Its more like a town square where people are going about browsing in various shops, gossipping with their neighbors and hanging out. To shout fire in such a place and cause a stampede which leads to deaths is not an exercise of the first amendment. We need to go after Facebook with public order laws not just truth in advertizing laws
Its the same. Someone who gets competing offers can get the companies to go up to what they actually can bear to pay for the position. If emplyers collude to not hire such folks they are artificially holding the wages down. Illegal as ruled by many courts
Companies cannot collude to hold down wages. Apple and Google had to pay a multimillion dollar settlement because they were colluding. He should have sued.
Most American allies are buying Cisco instead of Huawei under US pressure. However Canada will probably be so embarrassed by this kangaroo arrest that they will allow Huawei to do business in Canada
So? Mexico would like to Talk to the US about California and Texas. Don't be a hostage to history. Or do you really want to bring up Finland's collaboration with Hitler?
WTO makes non tariff barriers illegal and open to challenge. Export control laws are non tariff barriers to trade. China would be within its rights to retaliate through tariffs or non tariff barriers of its own. Or it can just ignore the export control laws because it knows if US tries to enforce them they will be proven to be illegal at the WTO.
The JCPOA with Iran was a treaty between 7 countries and sanctioned by the UN Security Council. Even at that time Iran knew a Treaty with the US is not worth the paper it's printed on so insisted on UN certification of the treaty. Hence breaking that treaty and imposing sanctions on Iran is illegal. US companies will do it as they are under US jurisdiction but Chinese companies will not break an international treaty just to follow a domestic US law.
Most UN troops are not American as American troops refuse to be bound by the Geneva conventions and the ICJ.
NATO would need zero funding if the US had not turned Eastern Europe and Western Europe into enemies during the Cold War. Russia is Europe's neighbor and natural ally. its the US which is an interloper. If USA wants to play at War it better pay for it. The rest of the world subsidizes the US by using the USD as the international trade instrument hence allowing the US Govt to run multi-trillion dollar deficits. Its the US which is holding out a beggars bowl in one hand and a gun in the other hand and extorting the world.
US Origin as in using US chips but the routers and software are made in China. Which means unlike CISCO and Juniper there are no NSA backdoors in them.
Incidentally there has been a lot of fear mongering about China having a law which can compel Private companies to hand over data to the govt. In the US thats called a subpoena and Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Apple handover data to the FBI all the time.
Companies around the world are getting worried about the control the US govt has on their tech architecture. Europe is passing laws and US companies are playing nice because they do considerable business in Europe but countries in Africa and Middle East have no hope of preventing US companies from sharing their data with the NSA. Their only hope is to use Chinese equipment which is why Huawei is growing.
US Law is only worth tissue paper outside the US. These sanctions are not good in international law as they are not UN sanctioned and in fact are contrary to the UN treaty with Iran
The problem is that these sanctions are illegal (as in unilateral and not UN sanctioned) so for Huawei to actually follow the sanctions would be illegal and Huawei execs could be arrested for doing so. They cant win. US law has no validity outside of US. I dont know how Canada is going to extradite when no crime has been committed on US soil or Candian soil. This is just a kidnapping.
Huawei is not accused of export license violations. It is selling its own tech to Iran. The problem US has that if Iran is getting tech from non US sources there are no NSA backdoors which can be used to introduce viruses into Iranian system.
Many of these contractors work nights and weekends for no extra pay to make the system stay up. They dont need to leave, they can simply clock in at 9 and leave at 530 and bill 8 hrs as per their contracts and Google would come to a screeching halt.
Where I work , 80% of the FTEs started as contractors. So I dont agree with your saying that the carrot being dangled is a fake carrot. yes the contractors are exploited but if they prove they are critical they are hired as FTE.
Two kinds of jobs are given to contractors - Jobs you dont want to do and jobs you cant do. Contractors doing the second kind of work are paid much more than employees.
You keep posting there are a variety of visas and you are wrong. H1B is it. There is no other visa L1 is only for intracompany transfers and you cant change employers on an L1. E2,E3,TN are only for limited countries. H2B is for Farm Labor and seasonal restaurant work.Cant be used by professionals.
Name one work visa other than H1B that a student graduating with a Masters from a US university can use. The US just is not very open to legal immigration. Illegal immigration on the other hand is very welcome by both Democrats (it lets them play identity politics) and Republicans (lower costs of labor for small business owners)

Thats what swing wings are for. Swung forward at sub sonic and swung back at supersonic speeds
