Saudi Arabia orders Canadian envoy to leave over criticism

[roadmaster]

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Saudi Arabia has ordered the Canadian ambassador to leave the ultraconservative kingdom after criticism of its arrests of activists.
A Saudi Foreign Ministry statement early Monday also announced that it would freeze "all new business" between the kingdom and Canada. Some 10 percent of Canadian crude oil imports come from Saudi Arabia.
Canadian officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The dispute appears centered around a tweet by Global Affairs Canada calling on the kingdom to "immediately release" women's rights activists

[Common Sense]

Better than turning a blind eye.

Canada has been selling billions of dollars worth of arms to Saudi Arabia, which the Saudi dictatorship uses for domestic oppression and overseas aggression. So while these are nice words, they aren't backed up by anything of real substance.

[Common Sense]

It's true that there is a deal to sell SA our LAV-6 vehicles. It's something many Canadians object to.

Its a deal the current government inherited, but they haven't stopped the lucrative deal.

There certainly is some hypocrisy there.

You have to admit canadas been getting spanked lately, with their failing progressive agenda and now this, trudy is going to have to go over there and pull an obama and bend over and apologize.

Bending over is an American trait that the Donald and his Junior will soon be experiencing from their respective jail cells.

Seems this would be very unCanadian of them. Links?

Fascinating. Trollish. Every story requires some reference to an American President.

I sense a severe illness in you.
