>Canada can choose to walk away

What is "walking away" in this context? Releasing Meng, and in the process, reneging on the extradition treaty?

Based on the context of the two comments you replied to, my interpretation of “walking away” would be Canada declining to further escalate retribution toward China.

Presumably retribution drags them in on the side of the US, but abstaining pins them between two superpowers.

Your claim makes it sound like Canada has to do whatever US told it to do under any circumstance. I had hard time to believe that is the actual situation here.

No, Canada has to do whatever the US-Canada extradition treaty says, not whatever the current US administration tells it to do.

How so?
