Canada arrested Meng Wanzhou, CFO of Huawei Technologies, when she changed planes in Vancouver, responding to an extradition request from the US.

The US alleges she violated sanctions against Iran. China is furious, cancelling a meeting between it's ambassador and the House of Commons foreign affairs committee. Canada and China have been negotiating trade matters, and that will certainly be affected.
The prudent thing to do might have been to delay a phone call and miss the opportunity to arrest her. It would definitely have been the 'Canada First!' move.
