looks like things still arent rosy... recall what happend just a year or 2 ago / mid 2018:
"In frenzied actions, the Saudis expelled the Canadian ambassador, recalled its own, stopped all new trade and investment with Canada and suspended Saudia (formerly Saudi Arabian Airlines) Toronto flights. It also ordered thousands of its students in Canadian schools to leave and attend schools in other countries, a particular blow for Canada, since there were a lot of medical students working in hospitals.
Most of these punitive steps remain in place to this day."
and now we're jumping into bed to the tune of 10M? 10M+?
"These abuses have come to Ottawa’s doorstep again and again. In recent years, credible allegations have surfaced that Saudi authorities have targeted family members of prominent Saudi exiles in Canada, including Canadian permanent residents."
"A former Saudi intelligence official, Saad Al-Jabari, filed a
lawsuit in the United States in August alleging that bin Salman sent a hit squad to assassinate him in Canada, where he’s been in exile since 2017."
lots of examples!
