justin from canada has fired his ambassador to china (john mccallum, who has a PhD from mcgill (montreal) in economics and served as defense minister, veterans' minister, and immigration minister (so he's an experienced senior politician) before justin made him ambassador to china

Justin from Canada fires his ambassador to China amid Huawei controversy
as background, canada arrested the CFO of Huawei and the chi-comms retaliated by sentencing a canadian to death.
McCallum said that it would be in Canada's interest to let the CFO go if it secured the release of Canadians held by the chi-comms. That cost him his job

Trudeau government faces ethics probe over SNC-Lavalin fraud case
SNC-Lavalin, a Quebec engineering firm, is facing allegations that former executives paid bribes to win contracts in Libya under Gaddafi

The allegation is that Trudeau's office asked the Attorney General to ask prosecutors to offer the firm a plea bargain and avoid a trial, and the Attorney General was demoted when she refused

Good article. The only problem is that there needs to be a version published in French as well.

The French version would be about the US invading Canada, surely?
