I understand that. I think somebody here is more upset about feminazis, though, than Canada’s dumb stunts. Or SA’s daily atrocities, for that matter.

Tommy Robinson was freed by the diplomatic efforts of PDJT. Justin Trudeau is a piker, riding on the coat tails of the truly great.

Justin is all curls and dimples, with the vacant stare of a truly dedicated drama teacher, he was elected by Canada’s women who love Euro-weenies.

No loss when he goes, He and his cabinet cannot leave soon enough.

You realize Alberta has some of the world’s largest oil reserves?

You bet. I do not claim that feminonazis have their place, but in the Cabinet of the Government of Canada is not the place.

Ultimately this type of ball busting brings war. But of course the femino-nazi Cabinet of Canada is majorly rewriting the book on diplomacy. Forging NEW pathways where the putrid male dominated politic of former years has failed to go?

The Femino-nazi cabinet of Canada will just wave around a few putrid pink vagina hats under the noses of the Saudi Princes and all will become clear? Buahahahahaha!

Canada has lost billions out of its economy because of this foolishness. Needlessly.

You bet I want the femino-nazis OUT of Canada’s Cabinet.Forever. I have NEVER witnessed such sophomoric foolery as this pap. Freeland should be run out on a rail.

I agree with most of your post. Unfortunately Trudeau and his true believers will learn nothing from this escapade.

That said I think Trudeau and his Star Wars cabinet should ratchet up the situation. Expell all Saudi nationals and cancel all their visas. That will show them.

What I am finding funny about all of this is the Socialists world wide are betting on the legislative branch of the US government flipping to democrat in November.

The way the last two years played out it almost seems as if this was the plan all along.

And those reserves will stay nice and safe in the ground since the people and the government have no desire to hurt Mother Gaia in getting to them.

If Canada wanted to become the Saudi of North America it would have by now.

You are way off base. Canada has finally grown a spine and SA has to realize how screwed up their treatment of women is.

“Way to go Canada, give up diplomatic leverage for reductio ad absurdum. We are women, hear us roar!

Buahahahahahahahahaha!”

WTF is wrong with all you people? Supporting SA over Canada? Are you daft? SA is responsible for 9-11. Where are y’alls brains?

I don’t think that the US is going to bail Canada out on this one. President Trump has ushered in a new era of cooperation by showing the Arab Nations the respect not to insist or suggest that their societies should be run like ours.

What staggering foolishness not to have learned from his example. It is the mark of an idiot to repeat the same action that have repeatedly failed rather than learning form mistakes of the past.

The Liberals believe that their morality (corrupted though it is) transcends the belief system of most of the world and they go around like prigs shaking their finger at the world.

We may not agree with the Saudi practices regarding women but they are a sovereign nation. The prince who has been named the next King is committed to getting along with the west, stamping out Islamic terrorism and allowing freedoms to the Saudi women and to all Saudi. He is moving at a rate calculated not to incite the open rebellion of the traditionalists. Idiots like Freeland impede that progress by inciting the traditionalists and directly risk the Middle East peace process.

Your suggestion “It’s high time someone brought KSA down a peg.” is nonproductive and if followed would destabilize relations with the Middle East. We can’t rule the world and impose our standards. We can hold out a had and work on mutually beneficial areas while setting an example of how a free society operates & the benefits therein. The other Nations will move towards Freedom best when they embrace it’s benefits freely.

Freeland seek to dictate how women should be treated inside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, their moral superiority justifying the femino-nazi meddling with the internal affairs of Saudi Arabia. Welcome to the new era of overly presumptuous colonial feminism.The smugness of Canadian self righteousness and touchy feely false superiority will now cost Canada billions of dollars in Saudi Trade and will end the monetary flow to many Canadian Universities as Saudi students are ordered home from ALL Canadian Universities, which are the seed beds of Canada's militant feminism movement.

Really???? Here I have been waiting year upon years for feminist to deal with the real threat to women....ISLAM!! Islam is slavery for women and Saudi Arabia is abhorrent in its treatment of women....period. Somehow I do not think islamic loving feminist were the problem in Canada.

Do you have snake handlers in your church on Sunday Morn. Do the congregants take up serpants?

Isn’t that what Christians do in church?

“Welcome to the new era of overly presumptuous colonial feminism.”

Could the Canadian’s willingness to get involved in another country’s affairs be tied to President Trump’s show of strength thru-out the world?

The Canadians are thinking...”If he can do it, why can’t we?”

I’m not saying that the direction the Canadians are taking is right...just that with President Trump flexing his political muscles, the Canadians are growing some gonads.

Its about sovereignty.....SOVEREIGNTY, something every country has, period. Canada nor the U.S. nor any other country, nor the defunct U.N. has/have any right to dictate what and what not a country can do within their own legally recognized borders, especially when it deals with historical cultural long-standing traditions, practices, and norms short of using military force. As indicated within this thread already, Canada bit off more than it can chew.

“Leave the Saudis alone.”

Sure, if there is reciprocity.

Good for Canada in standing up to SA!

I am not from there, nor an expert on all aspects of their existence, but when they do something right, I stand with them!

Saudi Arabia can be GRADUALLY changed simply by continuing to addict them to Western products, media, food and booze.But doing what Freeland has done will really hurt Canada’s already struggling economy....thousands of jobs will be lost and there is a very real human consequence to Canadians.

_______________

are you serious?

Sauds have been connected to the western life for many decades. They are not changing.

I get your point, and you may well be right.

However, the Saudis are NOT our friends, their human rights abuses are legendary, and I - for one - would like to see them return to the 7th century sand pit they are minus our money.

The world best be glad I’m not/wasn’t the POTUS. On September 12, 2001, from the eastern border of Israel to the western border of India; and from the southern border of Russia to the Indian Ocean - all nuked flan and glassy. Arabic/Islam would only be known in Hell.
