I think TELUS was the only company that came out and said they're going to be using HUAWEI. When Bell eventually released a statement saying they were going with Ericsson then TELUS had no other choice than to change course.
They're only doing this because of all the "CHINA IS EVIL" news that's been all over the news for the past several months.

They're doing it because while the infrastructure might go up and be fine in 2021, things might be quite different in 2025 when China goes full North Korea and Canada is left with a 5G infrastructure that is no longer usable.

| The Canadian government can intervene to end Meng's extradition trial. Should it?
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/men...vene-1.5623991
The interview with family is worth watching https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1755278403885/
Funny, JT in question by a reporter on Monday said about the option:
“We’re not considering that. Canada has a strong and an independent justice system … anyone who is considering weakening our values or weakening the independence of our justice system doesn’t understand the importance of standing strong on our principles and our values,” he said.
Is this the same JT who strong armed Jody Wilson Raybould to bend the law for SNC Lavalin? How can he stand there and look so righteous about not influencing the judicial system?

TBH I think any telecom with any brain wouldn't touch Huawei with a 10ft pole, whether their country is banning Huawei officially or not.
The US sanction brings too many uncertainties to the future. If one chooses to deploy Huawei's system and somehow critical components ended up being banned or whatever, you'd be left with a multi-million dollar investment that has no way to even maintain it.
This is also the reason why I think Telus, which was a big Huawei 5G advocate decided to drop Huawei altogether. It's not because of JT et al's pressure... but something that make more financial sense in the long run.

Imagine this, your companies product offering is more expensive, maybe less developed, and have likely less immediate product available. Yet, now you're seeing orders left and right. Wonder how they're all feeling lol.

Asia, and SEA Intl. companies probably feel like they need to start to significantly scale up as the world relies on China less and less, while they bring themselves back to cold war era style relations.
Pretty soon the only countries willing to work with them will be North Korea, some authoritarian states around the world, and some developing African nations.

Obviously, everyone knew without a doubt that the detention of Kovrig and Spavor was in direct response to the detention of Meng Wanzhou. However, until now China has always denied this claim and argued that the situations were not linked in anyway. Well, China's cards are finally on the table.

I remember the group of morons piling on when I said, this shit should end. StylinRed, I suppose all these ex parliamentarians and ex supreme court judge are all infiltrated and influence by China? Former parliamentarians, diplomats pen letter calling on Canada to release Meng https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/let...meng-1.5625669
A group of high-profile Canadians, including former parliamentarians and senior diplomats, say Justice Minister David Lametti should end extradition proceedings for Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou to give Canada a chance to "re-define its strategic approach to China."
In a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dated June 23, the signatories say Canada has the legal right to intervene to free Meng and end the extradition trial that could send her to the U.S. They cite a legal opinion published earlier this week by Toronto-based lawyer Brian Greenspan. The letter has been signed by former Supreme Court justice Louise Arbour, former Liberal foreign affairs minister Lloyd Axworthy, former Conservative foreign affairs minister Lawrence Cannon, former Conservative senator Hugh Segal and former NDP leader Ed Broadbent, among others.
The signatories say Lametti should set aside concerns about the rule of law — specifically Canada's obligations under its extradition agreement with the U.S. — and politically intervene to end the B.C. court proceedings that involve Meng.
"We contend that the time is past due for the minister to do just that: to end the Meng extradition proceeding and to bring the two Michaels home.

As someone said before, Meng is worth 10 of each Michael in the eyes of the Chinese govt. If you are going to do a dirty with China, make sure we benefit from it. It’s a tough situation. Canada’s relationship with the US will suffer from such a move, but pretty clearly the US government will just forget about it like they do with every other issue that pops up for them. As much as I believe Meng whanzou should be punished, there’s no real reason that the US wants to do it that outweighs their desire to send a message to China.
