Five Items
This is a big item. Journalists attended a press conference to mark the 1,000th day of Meng Wanzhou’s imprisonment in Canada. It is making the rounds, and you can play a role in informing people, too.
David Rennie’s great letter to the Hamilton Spectator has become the template for further letters about Meng. You can send something like this to your own local newspaper.
3. Gorilla Radio interview with Ken Stone
Coalition Treasurer Ken Stone gave an interview with Vancouver’s Chris Cook. It is detailed and informative, giving timely background about the case.
The above Op-Ed gives a carefully-reasoned perspective from the official Chinese point-of-view.
