PressTV... General Dynamics Corp, a sprawling American military manufacturer, has warned Canada against acting on its avowed intention of stopping sales of armored vehicles to Saudi Arabia. The corporation’s Canada chapter said on Monday, "Were Canada to unilaterally terminate the contract, Canada would incur billions of dollars of liability to General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada," referring to its subsidiary in London, Ontario. "Terminating the contract would have a significant negative impact on our highly skilled employees, our supply chain across Canada, and the Canadian defense sector broadly," the statement added. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, speaking in an interview aired on Sunday, said that he was looking for a way out of the $13 billion agreement. PressTV-Saudis rebuff US vote but face Canadian backlash Saudi Arabia rejects a US Senate resolution to end military support for the kingdom, but faces a new backlash as Canada says it plans to cancel a 2014 weapons deal with Riyadh. He, himself, had previously acknowledged that there would be “huge penalties” if Ottawa turned its back on the deal, Reuters reported. The premier, known for his trying to portray himself as a human rights advocate, is under pressure to scrap the deal inked by the previous government as Saudi Arabia’s 2015-present war on Yemen continues down its deadly trail. Besides killing thousands, the war, launched to return Yemen’s former Saudi-allied officials, has brought the impoverished country close to the edge of nationwide famine. Has he considered not buying their oil? // Justin Trudeau is trying to get Canada out of a multi-billion dollar Saudi arms deal t.co/C9VrdEbDDj — John Hilton-O'Brien (@hiltonjohn) December 18, 2018 ‘Unusual’ warning David Perry, defense analyst at the Canadian Global Affairs Institute, meanwhile, called the corp’s warning “unusual,” Reuters added. He said General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada would normally keep a very low profile. "I can't imagine they are anything other than extremely worried," he said in a phone interview. The US itself generously provides arms to Saudi Arabia and its allies involved in the war, besides lending logistical support to the invasion. Poster Comment: pcosta... Kudos to PM Trudeau, but release Mrs MANgZou - you have actually kidnapped her on behalf of international mafiosa drumft, family and unpatriotic,dual citizens of the usa AND ABROAD The arrest is jealousy that HUAWEY IS BETTER THAN ANYTHING AMERICAN CO PRODUCE. CHINESE PEOPLE ARE SMARTER AND HARD WORKING I WILL ALWAYS BUY A CHINESE PHONE...CHINESE LIKE COMPETITION. AMERICANS CO LIKE MONOPOLY... KUDOS TO CHINA...CANCEL ADELSON CASINOS AND THAT WILL PUT THE UNPATRIOTIC LITTLE MAN OUT OF BUSINESS. [Tatarewicz] Canadians should write MP's saying something like this: Please add your voice in calling for prompt release of Huawei CFO from court custody in Vancouver and have Canada ignore the call for her extradition to US. Neither Canada or the US have any right to determine who China or its companies do business with just as China cannot determine with whom Canadians may carry on transactions. This stupid predicament arises from the US administration being obliged to discourage countries from dealing with Iran which Israel considers an enemy for the Persian nation's support of Palestinians from whom Israel keeps stealing lands, as well as Iran helping scuttle the "Greater Israel" venture into Syria. The Israeli lobby plays a significant role in determining who gets elected to US Congress by assuring Democrat and Repubilcan candidates, who pledge support for Israel, of sufficient campaign funding, organization and media coverage to get elected. US administration is well aware of this tacit arrangement; can't lose a job by supporting the boss's objectives. Complying with the US extraditon request sets a terrible precedent which will make doing business abroad much more difficult and risky.

Imagine if Russia used the same logic and means to return the former government of Ukraine back to power. It's really a case of crazy Jews making everyone else do crazy things.
Excellent Poster Comment above, perfectly said.

Kanuckistanians don't have much hope. Both Liberal and Conservative leaders won't do anything for fear their yarmulkas will be taken away. The NDP socialist leader has yet to win a seat in Parliament.
