Arms shipments to Saudi Arabia now account for more than 75 per cent of Canada’s military exports to countries other than the United States, the groups say

Saudi Arabia has one of the worst human-rights records in the world. Rights group Amnesty International’s 2019 report said authorities there “escalated repression of the rights to freedom of expression, association and assembly” and “harassed, arbitrarily detained and prosecuted dozens of government critics, human rights defenders, including women’s rights activists, members of the Shi’a minority and family members of activists.

The countries identified in the report, which also include the U.S., Britain and France, “continued their support of parties to the conflict including through arms transfers, thereby helping to perpetuate the conflict,” the report said. The Yemen conflict is widely seen as a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and its regional foe, Iran. More than 100,000 people have been killed and millions are on the brink of famine, aid agencies say.

“Direct support of militarism and oppression, through the provision of arms, is the exact opposite of a feminist approach to foreign policy."

And stop importing Saudi oil! Buy Canadian!

'Canada cited for fuelling Yemen war'? Canada is mentioned once in the 53-page report. This is the quote: 'third States, including Canada... continued their support of parties to the conflict including through arms transfers, thereby helping to perpetuate the conflict.'

Mr Trudeau will feel victorious. He makes money on this. Not Canada, just him. He’s a traitor and people should never forget that he’s pro Anyone anti Canada.

Canada has an interest in this war, we want the saudis to crush the iranian yemeni stooges.

That would affect SNCLavalin so good luck with that. SNC still has JustinTrudeau on puppet strings. Trudope will always put the hoo*** buying SNC ahead of doing the right thing.

Saudi Arabia is a dictatorship

Has anything changed since Stephane Dion cited his 'ethic of responsibility' to sign the export permits in a $15B military deal in 2016, and PMJT 'gave his blessing' as they say. Saudi HR abuses & nasty intervention in Yemen in play then too.

Trudeau to Canadians; “you don’t need guns and you’re all potential murderers when you claim you do”. Trudeau to middle eastern, tyrannical leaders: “how many guns would you like to buy to maintain authoritarian regimes?” wakeupcanada trudeauisatyrant keepyourguns
