David Ferry and Women in Saudi Arabia

: Really Those women in Saudi Arabia will be treated appallingly whatever we do, so what the point People will get the lash anyway, so why give up the income Religious minorities may be fired on by the kind of weapons we provide regardless of our moral suasion, so why not keep the business here Really This is a catch-all ASF view; only displays when an unsupported article type is put in an ASF drop zone David Ferry, Toronto ......... Stéphane Dion argues that if Canada cancelled the armoured vehicle contract, countries with fewer scruples would still sell to the Saudis, according to Globe and Mail. I think what is being tested here is whether Canada has scruples – or not. I am particularly concerned when Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion uses the defence of the ethically bankrupt by saying, If we don’t sell them, someone else will. Robin Collins, Ottawa ......... Sending a politician of integrity like Stéphane Dion to defend the Saudi deal – in the process having him performing a stellar imitation of former Harper Conservative hacks Paul Calandra and Chris Alexander – is a sad sight. Shipping these Canadian-built killing-machines to Saudi despots cannot be defended under any of our cherished values. The vehicles have a single purpose: to suppress civilian unrest with shock and awe. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
