1. To claim that KSA has intentionally selected Canada to make of it an example for other countries proves you, the so-called professional reporters, do not research the subject you intend to debate.

   Let me do your home work for you.

   Historically speaking, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia had zero tolerance for foreign interference in its internal affairs. Take a look at a list of ambassadors who were kicked out of Saudi Arabia in the past for making the same mistake Trudeau made:

   – 1980 the UK ambassador
   – 1988 the US ambassador
   – 2014 Qatar ambassador
   – 2015 Sweden ambassador
   – 2016 Iran ambassador
   – 2018 Canada ambassador

   With all due respect to you Canadians, Trudeau or no Trudeau, to the Saudi’s it makes no difference who the country is or what president is in charge. If you meddle with their internal affair, you are OUT.

2. Canadian Govt. are nobodies… who cares. USA, SA, and Israel need to keep winning.

3. You are an immigrant from middle east originally from Lebanon you hated Saudi Arabia and you get Qatar or Iranian money to say all that Canada before tow years was good friend but Trudeau change Canada strategy

4. OK Saudi Arabia has solved your problem and cancel all relation with you and Samar Badawi and her brother still in jail because Saudi court will decide not Canada , the general dynamic is American vehicles we can buy them from original

5. I hate Saudi Arabia…but Trudeau is a waste of skin and he will never win next election…unlike the shithole SA ,we have elections.

6. Israel and USA behind middle East problem.saudi is tools of America

7. So SA started this spat to preempt appropriate criticism from Canada. ??
   The whole thing is too fishy.
   But this arms business is the devil's workbench.
   Goddamn the pusher man!

8. My heart breaks to see these Yemeni kids suffer, how shameful Canada is.

9. No neoliberal wants to get in the way of the military-industrial complex

10. I'm Canadian and agree that the sale of military equipment to Saudi Arabia is criminal and is not supported by the Canadian people. In the next election I believe that this will cause the demise of both the liberal and conservative parties. Killing children is and will always be wrong and supporting dictatorships is against Canadian values.

11. King Salman and his son Mohammed bin Salman are great leaders. Allah bless Saudi Arabia.

12. If you can prevent weapons from leaving your land to the Sauds or Israelis, please do so without hurting yourselves or anyone else like two British men did.

13. "Canada will always defend human rights." Are Yemenis not human beings according to the Canadian government?

14. Liberals will row over feminist rights but dead children, no.

15. Canada is being paid back for their blind support for US aggression in the world. Europe is also getting the shaft from Trump. Turkey is also getting the shaft big time. I have no sympathy for Canada, Europe, and Turkey. Most people thought when Canada got rid of Harper that things would get better ; boy were they wrong. Trudeau is not the man his father was and never will be. He has no spine and just tows the line.

16. Trudeau is making Canada a wholly owned subsidiary. If he doesn't behave, he'll be replaced very soon.!!

17. I find it disgusting that Canada sells weapons to Saudi Arabia. I'd expect that from the USA, but not Canada.

18. He is a neoliberal what do you expect? They are always willing to sacrifice human beings to make a buck. He is doing nothing that the U.S. hasn't done for decades. Except they did actually allow a government statement against Saudi Arabia. You won't hear that from the U.S. government or MSM any more.

21. Cash rules all, human rights something they say when they want to take something from someone else.

22. Junior (Trudeau) plays politics like a peewee! I despised his father but at least he was knowledgeable in foreign affairs even though he was terrible in everything else.

23. A plague on both their zionist houses.

24. didnt the saudi's also delete a tweet that suggested "sure would be a shame if canada had a 9/11"

25. Thanks for casting the grim light on the truth of our foreign policy Dimitri. I always appreciate your reporting.

26. One hand for Human Rights the other Hand 🖐️ support the Monarch in Yemen 🇾🇪 War, One foot stay clean and the other foot in a pool of blood.
    All for the Easy Money 💷

27. Important, thank you!

28. Maybe a switch to 4th gen nuclear and alternative energies…would economically launch these people back into the stone age where they will likely feel at home? IMO.

29. I CAN'T STAND THE SIGHT OF HILARY CLINTON…SORRY! BYE-BYE

30. Canada will continue to engage with Saudi Arabia. ..translation..Canada will continue to sell weapons to Saudi Arabia. Can’t criticize the bombings and still sell weapons at the same time

31. Excellent report….and I do believe there is much more going on….John Baird tweeted similar condemnations at Saudi a few years ago….Conservatives are involved or at least taking a political opportunity here…..it just speaks yet again to the entire farce our entire global system is, money, politics, games of the uber rich and powerful at the expense of millions of human beings who are seen as non humans, OK to murder daily….who cares? Certainly not anyone with any power, and i wonder if Trump administration gave the OK to Saudi to further hinder Canada's economy and support for Trudeau gov?.

32. Mr Fenton was quite knowledgeable on the subject, a lot of this I had not heard of or considered, so thanks for that.

33. I know this is an ad hominem attack however I can't resist.
    John Baird is such a lunatic!
    How did he think that it was smart to go on Saudi TV and criticize Canada for allegedly criticizing Saudi human rights violations? Freeland hardly criticized. More like barely mentioned it in passing and overlooked the major human rights violations. Truly and unaaceptably: activists are oppressed by the Saudi monarchy, HOWEVER: there are 40 kids who have died in a day and 100,000 dead children since this bullshit war on Yemen. WTF: I cannot believe the dumb Liberals are not saying anything about that. That's genocidal. But of course how can someone who commits genocide criticize another for committing genocide. Yikes!!! John Baird on Saudi TV…. plus plus scary

34. It just deranged that we allow people in power to deal with Kings and Queens lol

35. Trudeau is the same slimy neoöiberal as Macron, nothing good to expect from such miserable characters

36. THANKS

37. Why doesn't The Real News have channels on Bitchute, Minds, Steemit etc? Eventually, some of your news will be censored, it would be wise to transfer.

38. I wonder what he'd say if it was Canadian kids being blown to bits by the Americans and Saudis?
