However, Bambi cannot help not to wonder what deal our government struck with China (is it a coincidence that all this occurred post-elections?). Most importantly, how will Canada protect itself and its citizens from future ordeals like this one? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of the deal, it has been sad to see Canada being taken hostage of the Chinese diplomacy\/Huawei conflict.  Indeed, what a shame that these two innocent men were taken hostage like that and for such a long time (Bambi has older posts about them). Anyhow, now it is time to rejoice and to enjoy being with their loved ones. Bambi wishes them all the best in their reunion and adjustment to life back home! May they heal and may they find peace of mind with every passing day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To conclude this post, Bambi will allow herself to offer these two businessmen a French song (subtitled in English) by Mr. George Moustaki. Bambi loves this song about one&#8217;s freedom, which is called &#8220;<em>Ma libert\u00e9&#8221; . <\/em>Home sweet home&#8230; Welcome back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Ma libert\u00e9 - Georges Moustaki - French and English subtitles.mp4\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-CusCZ6Yijo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bambi loves good news in life&#8230; this one is a HAPPY one for Canada: Welcome back to Mr. Spavor and Mr. Kovrig :)!!
