Canada must cut alliances with Saudi Arabia immediately.

Unacceptable.

Trudeau being a cuck in his response to this would also be unacceptable.

Did they have a chainsaw with them?

Another in a long line of fascist dictatorships America will continue to support and abet.

Did they have a chainsaw with them?

That's what I was wondering. I'm guessing the Saudi team didn't allow the Canadian customs officers to see what was in their luggage, and that's why they weren't let into the country.

Isn't that a bit harsh. Canada isn't that bad!

Then, less than two weeks after the murder of Khashoggi, Mr Jabri says the Tiger Squad travelled to Canada with the intention of killing him.

The court filing says the group - which included a man from the same department as the man accused of dismembering Khashoggi - were carrying two bags of forensic tools.

However, Canadian border agents "quickly became suspicious" of the group and refused them entry after interviewing them, it says.

"Bin Salman in fact dispatched a hit squad to North America to kill Dr Saad," the claim asserts.

Canada's Federal Minister of Public Safety Bill Blair said he couldn't comment on the specific case but said the government was "aware of incidents in which foreign actors have attempted to monitor, intimidate or threaten Canadians and those living in Canada."

"It is completely unacceptable and we will never tolerate foreign actors threatening Canada's national security or the safety of our citizens and residents. Canadians can be confident that our security agencies have the skills and resources necessary to detect, investigate and respond to such threats," he said.

"We will always take the necessary action to keep Canadians and those on Canadian soil safe and we invite people to report any such threats to law enforcement authorities."

In May, the BBC reported that Mr Jabri's children had been seized as "hostages", according to his eldest son, Khalid.

I wonder if they are in a bit of a Mexican stand off (can we still say that?), what with them having his kids and all.

To be fair sucking up to the Saudis is a bipartisan tradition.

Hey, no disagreement here. Hoping this finally changes starting next year.

Trudeau is Castro's son, after all.
