Letters to the editor, March 15, 2019: Readers weigh in on the Meng Wanzhou affair, Brian Mulroney, Nancy Pelosi and more
In February, a team of six Maclean’s writers told the story of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou’s high-profile arrest and detention, and the high-stakes diplomatic crisis that pit China, which arrested two Canadians and sentenced a third to death, against Canada and its Western allies.
I want to thank you, Shannon Gormley, so very much for your article. I already knew the rescue was extraordinary. I already felt that it must have taken extraordinary people to execute it. But now, thanks to your warm, sensitive narrative, I see how much more wonderful it was than I could possibly have imagined. You made the rescuers real—frightened, tenacious, pragmatic, competent, heroic and humble.
In your praise of Pelosi , you left out one of the best quotes I’ve heard for a while. From the lips of her daughter the day of her swearing in: “She’ll cut your head off and you won’t know you’re bleeding.” In the duelling cover stories featured in our February 2019 issue, associate editor Shannon Proudfoot and Ottawa bureau chief John Geddes delved into the angry, closed-minded, petty world of both the Left and the Right of Canadian politics.
