Canada to assess Boeing 737 MAX airworthiness without US
Canada said Tuesday it will make its own assessment of Boeing’s modifications to its 737 MAX airliners before allowing them to fly again in its airspace, after two crashes in less than five months. “Of course, when that software change is ready, which is in a number of weeks, we will, in Canada, even if it’s certified by the FAA, we will do our own certification,” Transportation Minister Marc Garneau said. Garneau’s comments marked a break from protocol, with Canada traditionally working closely with the Federal Aviation Administration, which regulates the US commercial airline industry.

Meng Wanzhou, the Chinese telecom executive at the center of an escalating row between Ottawa and Beijing, appeared briefly before a Canadian judge on Wednesday who set May 8 for the start of a hearing into a US extradition request.

Canada began extraditing Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou to the United States on Friday, the latest move in a case that has roiled relations between the North American neighbors and China.
