I find it hard to stomach Canada’s biased media on so many issues but I will not ignore the characterization of Abbotsford’s Robert Lloyd Schellenberg as an innocent pawn in the diplomatic dust-up between Canada and China over the arrest of a Chinese billionaire in Vancouver.
Is Schellenberg a pawn? Canada’s media would have us think so. But I read, heard and viewed many news reports before learning that Schellenberg had served prison time for drug crimes in Canada before going to China.
Our justice system, which we laud with noses raised, found him guilty and convicted him twice to serve one- and two-year sentences, which amounts to mollycoddling in countries that are serious about fighting drugs.
How can our media describe the Chinese justice system as corrupt and declare it a puppet of Chinese politicians when our own media, as well as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his ilk, is so reluctant to reveal that Schellenberg was no angel before he went to China?
When in China, do as the Chinese do.
