The Canadian government is willing to sign off on multi-million-dollar settlement packages for Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig to compensate them for the nearly three years they spent in Chinese prisons, the Globe and Mail has reported, citing government sources.

Please man 😡
We are in debt with our own bills here this month’s I’ll pay the internet and next the hydro …and don’t even try to skip Embridge you get almost automatically disconnected with an $160 reconnection fee and we work hard for our money …these two are doing their job and they get multimillions 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😂
Yeah that's not our problem
Why would they be getting anything they should not get one dime they went into a foreign country that is their fault not the government's and not the taxpayers why should we put the bill for their stupidity
I guess the Chinese were correct about these two, they were intelligence assets being paid to keep their mouths shut about contract work for the Canadian Government.
they chose to go they should get nothing!
I'm tired of the Canadian gov using my money like it's a never ending pot of gold
Why not China pay for what they had done to two Michaels ? Is Canada scared of XI JIN PING, that we have to bow to XI JIN PING & use our taxpayers' money to pay for settlement?
Why?
How much are they going to be paying our coutts boys. It should come out of Trudeau wages
As meng weng stayed in her mansion and lived a high lifestyle as we paid for it take the money out of the trudeau foundation
Micheal who? You know, Micheal 2 😕
Grade A reporting right here.
The taxpayers are tapped out. Tru-dildeau did nothing….let HIM pay the settlement.🤔
brake the country bring in the cbdc is the name of the game for those of you millions of sheep who dont have a clue
The better action would be for Trudeau resigning for incompetence.
So they're spooks. Gotcha.
The American government should be paying for this not the Canadian tax payer. The PRC has too much power over our economy.
Why does the tax payer foot the bill???? Take it out of the criminals bank accounts to pay it. Trudeau and freeland can pay.
So us Taxpayers have to pay for Trudeau's mistakes?
Way less then the 10 million for an actual convicted terrorist. These guys are just politi al pawns and only get 3 million what a disgrace
So they are rewarded by failing their spy mission… are they hiring still?
Why do we owe hm a payout. You go to China you take your chances? Not our problem.
It was interesting that a rep of the TRUDEAU government suggested that China hold them a bit longer because releasing them would hurt liberals at the polls
This is such a scam. They don't deserve anything from us.
Oh for ffs
I don't understand why we have anything to do with a country like China.
Trudeau should have to pay that out of his own pocket he's the failure here!
Nice how this news story talks around the context. The old Liberal guard would never have let Washington push around Canada like Justin Trudeau did. Shameful.
That’s good that the Canadian government are giving government benefits to the two Canadian Michaels who are ex cons in Chinese prison.
taxpayers owe them NOTHING … this is exactly why canada is know known as the armpit of North America
This should be a vote for us taxpayers. I'm really getting sick and tired of any party thinking its alright to pay out this kind of money without having a say. They break us if we owe back taxes,yet have no issues giving it to these two. Why are we paying these two. For them being stupid and getting arrested in China
WHY? IT SHOULD BE CHINA WHO PAYS
So that means Canada admits the 2 Mike did espionage work in China, and indirectly admits that China did NOT arbitrarily arrest them. China did the right thing.
But Huawei's daughter Meng Wenzhou deserve the compensation. Canada DID wrongly detain Huawei's daughter Meng Wenzhou and smeared China for "arbitrary arrest". Canada should pay compensation to Meng Wenzhou. Canada is afraid of 2 Mikes spilling the bean of espionage work in China.
The truth is slowly coming out and it appears Beijing has been a lot more candid than Ottawa the whole time. The Chinese side has insisted that Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig were arrested for spying, while the Canadians have claimed they were just hostages.
The two men were detained after Meng was arrested in Vancouver on an American warrant for fraud and breaching US sanction laws, though it now seems clear it was all part of Washington’s decade-long attempt to destroy Huawei as the world’s once leading 5G supplier, a prelude to the US’ open tech war against China.
If only they were gay, black WNBA players, they would have been out years ago and had book deals by now.
when they can print the money..
The guy does a poor job at his work, gets arrested, embarrassed Canada, then gets 3 million!? 🤦 oh Canada 🎶🎵
Why are they paying them anything when you travel you on your own what a bunch crap
Why the hell are these guys getting payed?
So, why doesn't China pay?
More payoffs with taxpayer’s money. Everything the government has is tax payer funded.
Why wouldn't their lawyers go after the Chinese government for compensation? Oh yeah, because the Chinese government would laugh at them.
This is how ridiculous our system is. A foreign dictatorship holds people hostage, and Canadisn taxpayers pay. If this federal government is responsible, THEY should pay!
People seem to forget the politician that suggested our PM we leave them there … Freeland in the parlement building almost giving them hillary eyes to get up and clap for them when they just found out a few days before they could have been home way before … im surprised they didn’t flip em off on national tv
Trudeau will send some money to china in the package and some friends as well I’m sure
trudeau still won't admit these are spies, not ordinary "business men" that China "arbitrarily" arrested.
Obviously spies. China should have kept them.
Why are we paying them should it not be China
Interesting, I thought the Canadian government said they were not spies.
