Who knew 2 words would drive them away , “Woman’s Rights”,LOL
It shows how other countries can bully each other. The US on the other hand can’t be bully by any country period.
Virtue-signaling has its costs.

It will be interesting to see what, if any, effect this has on the TSX. Wonder if the Saudi money will be diverted to the U.S.?
Maybe it’s just me but this dump Canada seem like a great way to cause a panic and end up owning the place by buying up stuff through intermediaries.
The Canadians should take a “Screw you, Buddy!” attitude and refuse to panic but instead buy back as much of their country as they can.
Oh, I hope not! The Muslims already have too much influence. Or at least they should divest of all Red States too.
Canada was dumb enough to back the Muslim Brotherhood over the Saudies. The young Prince is taking massive steps to bring SA into this century at great personal risk to himself. Canada criticism was stupid beyond words.
Baby Doc Trudeau is deeply saddened.
The Saudis are making an example of Canada lest any other country criticize them.
The Saudis are sending a message. Criticize us and you get none of our money. The message is directed to the EU and the US. To the US. Don’t ask too many questions or investigate too deeply Saudi involvement and knowledge of 9/11.
Actually the time has long passed when the US should have severed its relations with the corrupt House of Saud, which in conjunction with Turkey funded and supported ISIS.
The Saudis once tried to strong arm Putin. They told him that if Russia continued to support Assad and fight ISIS, they could not guarantee that there would be no terrorist attacks at the 2014 Winter Olympics being held in Russia. Putin responded by stationing three Russian nuclear submarines off the coasts of Saudi Arabia and informed the Saudis that if there were terrorist attacks, he had no intention of invading Iraq. There were no terrorist attacks at the 2014 Winter Olympics.
Wrong. This is all about fighting the Obama/Hillary backed Moslem Brotherhood. The same Moslem Brotherhood that tore Egypt and Libya apart. The same Moslem Brotherhood that was placed into the Five Eyes.
In economic terms, Canada is a pimple on the butt of the world.
It is easy for the Saudi’s to make an example of them, and they are doing it with lots of help from Justine, who just continues to embarrass them.
i have a very strong feeling that President Trump was somehow involved in this ... it could be payback for the Canadian trade war with the U.S. ... Lilliputian Canada REALLY does not need this to be happening right now given their dispute with their Goliath neighbor to the south ...
This. I said the same thing the other day. Saudi Arabia has a reformer King, and Canada should have just shut it's f***ing mouth.
These stupid human rights idiots screwed up Iran, Screwed up China (Tienanmen Square) and they have made things much worse in the world than if they had just shut their stupid mouths.
Appreciate your post based on facts, instead of off the cuff comments.
Ron Burgundyy said it best “Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast”
If I'm not mistaken, Baby Doc Trudeau has not yet announced that he's "doubling down," as he would if — for example — the United States undertook punitive measures against his country.
Perhaps we've found something that a virtue-signaler won't "double down" on.
