Saudi Arabia selling Canadian assets amid escalating tensions

$1:

Saudi Arabia is selling Canadian assets in an escalating row after Ottawa criticized the arrest of a female activist, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday, citing sources.

The Saudi central bank and state pension funds have instructed their overseas asset managers to dispose of their Canadian equities, bonds and cash holdings “no matter the cost,” according to the report.

The sell-off began on Tuesday and underlines how the Saudi government is flexing its financial and political muscle to warn foreign powers against what it regards as interference in its sovereign affairs, the FT said.

No, we aren't.

I'm happy my "terror-oil" term is being used. Fuck Saudi Arabia. If the feds have any balls they'd declare the Saudi Royal family a terror group and seize their assets. Its high time someone called these fucking fuckwits what they are.... Terrorists.

I'm sad that not even Sweden, who went through the exact same thing as this last year, won't even say anything against the Saudis on this.

I have no problem criticizing the woefully inbred Saudis and their troglodyte attitudes towards women and religious minorities.

I've had a problem with shithole in the desert for quite some time, their actions just validated why I hate this backwater terrorist producing sand-trap of a nation.

Don't you just love self-deporting Arabs?

[llama66]

Think of the money we're saving from not having deportation hearings.

[DrCaleb]

I'm trying to think of something we import from Saud that I will miss.

I can't seem to come up with anything.

Some good news!

Saudi Arabia to sell off Canadian assets and stop buying Canadian wheat and barley

Part of the Wheat Board is up for sale, cheap!

And more grains for beer!

I don't mind the well educated and rational immigrants we get from SA who flee that shithole and then purposefully assimilate as Americans.

Of course, around California we just see them as rich Mexicans.

Why the fuck do they need barley? Is it for the alcohol they don't brew?
