    You fight fire with fire.

    For example, look to you and donttread. One of you writes something stupid, the other writes something even more stupid. See how that works.

    Saudi Arabia is throwing a hissy fit and is expecting Canada to apologize. There are no indications that Canada will.

    Pissing the world off is meaningless and not true. Our national interest are all that matters.

    We can, and do, what serves us.We don't have an moral imperative to stop evil if it doesn't serve us. I don't know who you think we should serve.

    It doesn't matter. The Saudi's don't need you. They can buy from elsewhere. You are limited as to where you can sell. You aren't a world leader in technology. Apologize or don't. No one cares.

    Yeah but, they've done more than just throw a hissy, CS. They will no longer send citizens to Canadian hospitals and will withdraw resident physicians from Canadian hospitals. They're suspending flights by their national carrier. They recalled the Saudi ambassador to Ottawa and froze all new trade and investment deals with your nation.

    Your Prime Minister...….Justin Trudeau says “Canadians have always expected our government to speak strongly, firmly, clearly and politely about the need to respect human rights at home and around the world. We will continue to do that.”

    Meanwhile back here at home, Canada US relations worsen as well.....

    https://mettisglobal.news/canada-us-...t-of-us-goods/

    A trade war “hurts everybody” while “playing into Trump's hands,” he said.
    “Is a boycott feasible? Yes. Is it advisable? Probably not,” he said.
    Canada and the United States traded an estimated $673.9 billion worth of goods and services in 2017, with the US scoring a small surplus ($8.4 billion), according to the Office of the US Trade Representative.

    Many Canadians calling for a US boycott. Not for human rights mind you...but because they hate Trump. And trust me when I tell you, I do much business with Canada.....they hate Donald Trump more than they hate Trudeau.

    Maybe....just maybe.....they're acting like a bunch of high nosed elites......perhaps all this crusty behavior and language ain't doing Canada well. It works for Trump, Trump can be bellicose, snarl, he can tell it like it needs to be told.....but you Canadians come off as high handed and arrogant. And it's started to trim your economy.....now...….there's a good northern neighbor, let's tighten some bolts up there. What say you?
