Yes, this is what really concerns us. please. folks, don't be emotional anymore...
anyway, people here seem to enjoy insulting each other rather than learning and thinking about other's opinions.
sigh
Canada is a common law country. In other words, court verdicts are based on precedence, i.e. previous court rulings. We also call it case law.
Canada's giving up jurisdiction will generate a case law that in the future, everyone can quote such a verdict to ask for a leave (giving up jurisdiction).
Say if I murder a Chinese in Canada and thereafter escape back to China, I can ask Canada to drop the jurisdiction. From China I can find a way to smuggle to say Taiwan, before coming back to Canada.
Once Canada has dropped my case, they cannot prosecute me again. Nobody in a common law system can be prosecuted twice for the same offence or "re-prosecuted" if jurisdiction has been dropped, except that the person admits to commiting the crime.
The two governments (China and Canada) should work together, but please don't BS us. |
