Show Notes

For the week of March 21, 2021:

On this week’s edition of theBreaker.news Podcast:

Louis Huang protested outside Meng Wanzhou’s March 6 court date (Mackin)

Hear China experts Peter Dahlin of Safeguard Defenders and former Government of Canada official Margaret McCuaig-Johnston weigh-in on a police report in the Meng Wanzhou extradition court file. After Meng was arrested in 2018, and before Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor were arrested, police in Vancouver investigated ominous online death threats.

Neither the government nor the RCMP will comment. 

Late politician Ian Waddell (Nightwood)

Also, hear former B.C. NDP Premier Glen Clark on the legacy of the late Ian Waddell. The retired MP and MLA was appointed tourism minister by Clark in 1998. Waddell was instrumental in the development of B.C.’s film and TV industry and in the successful campaign for the Canadian bid rights for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics.

Plus, headlines from the Pacific Rim and the Pacific Northwest.
