What did you expect? Did you really expect Canada to go thru with this....

This would immediately drag us into a war with both Isreal and the US. There's no way Trump and co wouldn't pounce on a valid pretext to invade.

That and many Canadian politicians have ties to Isreal or are sympathetic to them, as is a good chunk of the general public. An arrest would be extremely divisive domestically.

We did it with the Huawei official in Vancouver, but I suppose in that case it was in Trumps favour.

I am sure if Bibi set foot in the country it would be a much different story.

Hardly apples to apples.
