> They arrive in military aircraft, salute to military officers, is this normal for Canadian tourists?
It's quite normal for freed hostages to be flown back by their home country's military, yes.
As for the salute? It's not unusual for civilians to return salutes.
> welcomed by Canadian intelligence, does this happen a lot to Canadian tourists?
I don't think you can take a public tweet from CSIS as any evidence, either for or against, that they're spies.
> One Michael met Kim Jong-un, is this a common thing among Canadian tourists?
Michael Spavor runs (ran?) a North Korea-based consulting business. It's not entirely unsurprising that he's met Kim Jong-un. I would think, if anything, he would be spying on the North Koreans, not the Chinese. North Korea doesn't seem like a convenient home base for a Canadian intelligence operative who's spying on the Chinese.
