Canada isn't so big that it's statistically unlikely I don't know someone China "touched" and is still "touching" today. More than 5% of Canadians are Chinese. With Chinese police actions being documented to be carried out within 100km of me and quite likely within my own city, it's starting to get pretty fucking personal for everyone over here.

If they're Chinese citizens then they are technically still bound by Chinese law even while living abroad, just as an american or Canadian would be if they were living in another country.

Unless you're speaking of Canadian citizens that are ethnic Chinese but not citizens of the PRC then I would like so see some proof on these documented Chinese police actions in Canada.
