Wow. Never knew about CNN Lite. It loads instantly like good websites should and the content is readable because ads are not flying in from all over the place. Does this work for all CNN articles?

What exactly did happen to Canada? Were they wiped of the map or something?

I would say that those two Canadians put themselves in danger the moment they entered an authoritarian country.
It is ridiculous to expect that one will get a fair trial in these kinds of countries; law just exists there not to protect the general public, but the dictator himself.

Yup, you didn't hear? Canada no longer exists. Now y'all are gonna have to consume that inferior Vermont maple syrup.

Yeah, China arrested Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, the latter later admitted he was used by Michael Kovrig to pass intelligence information to the Canadian spy agencies. [1] The Canada paid them off to remain silent [2].

Turns out being a diplomat isn't quite such a glamorous job, eh?
That aside, the situation with the Michaels is a tiny component of how the China-Canada relationship has chilled. The Canadian government continually comes out and says China basically doesn't answer the phone anymore, and it's not like the trade relationship is strong, and we have Xi scolding Justin Trudeau in front of the press on the sidelines of global events.
My point is, if you wanna play with China, you better be ready to play.

You're using an "alleges" as confirmation?

Odd to me that for companies like Google the state doesn't believe they can get what they need from simple subpoenas, but rather feel they need to forcibly seize records in person.
