It's official you can murder journalists and it's ok

I wouldn't deal with the Saudis period. I have always said that. I seem to recall a big outcry on here at the time of Freeland's comments and the Saudi backlash to them - most were saying Canada shouldn't speak up on their human rights abuses - just keep doing business with them. Now Trump says the US shouldn't speak up, just keep dealing with them and Trudeau gets criticized for letting Canadian companies still sell armoured vehicles to them. So which is it? do you think we should be trading with them or not? I flat out wouldn't - they are one of the very worst regimes in the world in my opinion.

So yup , it’s all about money , not morals.
Practice what you preach does not apply to politics .

The anti-pipeline loons who despise western Canadian oil (due to CO2) continued to dump raw sewage into the St Lawrence River last week.....of course the sewage dump was approved by the “climate minister” Catherine McKenna.

The same group also purchases crude oil which is delivered into the sewage filled St Lawrence by diesel powered tanker. These purchases help fund these archaic societies which continue to stone women. 🙈

Oliver. So you would like some
Good old socialist intervention
Requiring eastern refiners to use
Only Canadian oil .
I would support you on that.

With that as your platform, you would be a bit radical for the liberals , more likely find a home
In the NDP.
And I would vote for you

[sawfly1]

Yes we are hypocrites.still selling the armoured vehicles.
Give them a lecture, but still sell them.

Freland was kinda vindicated by this butchery.
Made them crazy ,esp. A woman saying it.

As for Trump, it is overwhelming.
If trump thinks it is OK because
He was in Muslim Brotherhood, just replace Brotherhood with Jew . You get the idea where trump is headed.

Nothing changes in this world.
Arm both sides of the same religion. To kill each other.
US arms the Saudis.
Russians arm Iran.
China will sell to both.
Good for profits.
Kinda like arming both arming protestants and Catholics
Years ago in northern Ireland .
Then wonder why it does not end well.
When the same weapons are turned on us, like Iraq

This would require the Energy East pipeline unfortunately the NDP opposed it.
With the pipeline we could end any need to import Saudi Arabia or other barbaric regime oil into eastern Canada refineries.

As I've said before the Government of Canada does not import oil, independent businesses within it do. If the Saudis started exporting fertiliser that was going to land in Canada cheaper than the sources we have now how many of you would be buying it?

I doubt Saudi oil is landing cheaper than Western Canadian crude.

It would still be based out of NOLA...just like the fertilizer produced 70 miles away at Belle Plaine....and priced like it made its imaginary trip south and back....

took ten years so we could buy glyphosate from the US. we are not allowed to buy inputs cheaper from other countries
and you spelled fertilizer wrong

[Oliver88]

If Trudeau didn’t want to keep funding Saudi Arabia we would have construction on Energy East pipeline already. The Liberal majority could ban their oil today.....if they wanted to.

[shtferbrains]

Already importing fertiliser.

High school friend of bin laden. Aided bin laden in afganistan. Was not a moderate. Ties to M.B.A.. not really the darling media would like us to believe.

EXACTLY. He was no choir boy.

People hear "journalist murdered" and they imagine Rosie Barton or Susan Ormiston or Anderson Cooper. This guy was a shill for an opposition faction in a brutal kingdom using the WSJ as part of his cover. Its sad that he got cut into bits and hauled home in hefty bags but lots worse happens everyday in the Mid East. Move on. Trump is bang on right on this one.

[sawfly1]

BS Trump is wrong.
As much as I dislike any religion
Esp.that one .
Govt.s should not chop people up.
The same as
Hitler's excuse to kill the Jew's.
Who is next.
Anybody that believe s in human
Or women's rights.

The ndp needs a kick in the ass.
Opposition to the energy east pipeline , or any pipeline for that matter.
It might not pencil out , but why the reluctance of the east for a pipeline?
2 suppliers , competing on price
. Can not help but reduce their cost of oil.
My point is decisions like that , for the country will not be
Done by the private sector.
You need govt. Involvement to get it done.
The fact the liberals have adopted one of them is a good sign.
Just nobody ever plans in this
Country. Or 30 years too late.

And that is why grain does not
Move and oil does not flow
