re: How weak does Canada look vs the Saudis right now?

I mean, a win for Canada is already out of the question. They already sent students back to KSA and medical patients to the US. How do you go back on that? They won't get KSA to apologize and they can't send the offending ambassador back to his post.
If a country had tried this on Trump, he would (for better or worse) blast them on Twitter, go on Fox and Friends to have a big laugh and tell them to kiss his arse, have a carrier group on their shore in 2 days, and a half dozen of their closest trade partners lining up sanctions within a week. Putin, Merkel, and others would be similar though less...ostentatious. Regardless, a leader in a position of power always dictates the conversation in a dispute. Canada isn't dictating jack shite right now.

This is also a loss to the KSA. It's hard to label that a win for anyone. And Canada loses a bunch of Wahabi shitheads, and still gets KSA oil. Canada is still selling KSA arms. The actual Saudis involved get fricked though.

Why would they need to? The KSA isn't a major trade partner, and isn't a major ally. The last state visit between the two countries was 15 or so years ago (I think).
The only reason the KSA feels they can do this is because of MBS's relationship with Trump. MBS has ruined everything he's touched so far, Yemen, Qatar, Lebanon, and now this. Yet somehow the KSA is coming out ahead.
