Riyadh-Ottawa Row Spirals as Saudi Trolls Declare Quebec's Right to Independence
After Ottawa's expression of concern over the arrest a Saudi human rights activist, the diplomatic quarrel between Canada and Saudi Arabia has grown into a blaze, with a Saudi youth group appearing to promote terrorism against Toronto, and Riyadh expelling Canada's ambassador. Now, the Saudis are pushing Canada on another sensitive issue: Quebec.
Canada's calls for the release of civil rights activists detained in the Kingdom have led to the suspension of all Saudia Airlines flights to and from Canada, the suspension of new trade and investment deals, the expulsion of Canada's envoy, and a sell-off of all Canadian holdings by Saudi officials and the state, as well as the revocation of scholarships for thousands of students studying in Canada and the withdrawal of Saudi nationals being treated in Canadian hospitals.
