Saudi Arabia expels Canadian ambassador, August 6

Saudi Arabia is a corrupt, misogynistic, homophobic, medieval dictatorship that is probably the largest sponsor of both Islamist terrorism and the war on innocent civilians in Yemen. With friends like them, who needs enemies? By all means, let’s keep up the pressure and set a good example for the world.

I feel really proud that we have stood up to threats from Saudi Arabia.

For a long time, western countries have bowed down to threats from these people because of their wealth. Let us lead, and show other democracies that humanity and honour is worth more than lousy wealth.

On the one hand, Canada’s statement comes to honour human rights, and yet immigration detainees in Canada are kept in jail for indefinite periods. Is this act not a violation of human rights?

We Canadians should clean our house first, and then advise others to do so.
