It is rumor, why so serious?

Because it is not just a rumor.

Take your gears and go out for some nice photo taking. The world is beautiful.

The M6 II discontinuation basically went through three stages. First, there were multiple rumors the camera was being discontinued. Second, the M6 II was listed as discontinued on the Canon Japan Online Store. Finally, the M6 II was officially listed as discontinued on the Canon Global website. Only a few weeks separated each of the three stages.

The M200 is currently on stage 2 with all options listed as discontinued on the Canon Japan Online Store. For the M50 II, body only and 15-45mm kits are both listed as discontinued on the Canon Japan Online Store. The only M system option not listed as discontinued and currently available for purchase are the dual lens M50 II kits with the 15-45mm and 55-200mm.

Here in Germany it is no problem to get the M50 II (body only or kit), the M200 (kit) or the M6 II (body only or kit). For my question to Canon Germany, if the M6 II is discontinued, I got the following answer:

"We have no information indicating, that the production of this camera has been terminated. Current status it is offered furthermore."

Either you local representative is clueless, or they are being disingenuous in an effort to unload remaining inventory.

Production for the M6 II ended in May of this year and the camera is officially listed as discontinued on the Canon Global website - https://cweb.canon.jp/eos/lineup/old-products/

Since you are a longtime R-promoter it should be no problem to use your good Canon connections in order to clear up if this answer is true or not.

You mean Fuji X, eh?

I am not sure. Fuji X, yes, but I sometimes also have the impression, that there is a lot of promotion for Canon R.
