Canada and arming House of Saud

"The contract to export $15 billion worth of armoured vehicles to the Saudis, he noted, is the largest in Canadian history." "Like ISIS, the Saudis are champion torturers and beheaders. By some estimates, the Saudis actually outdo ISIS. They behead for imagined apostasy and for general criticism, but also for sorcery and a list of other offences. And after beheading, the Saudis sometimes crucify the body." "Despite all this, the Saudis are often portrayed by Western allies, like Canada, of being a force for stability in the region. In pursuit of that stability, though, they've armed and financed al-Qaeda affiliates not just in Syria but in bordering Yemen, specifically tribes sympathetic to al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula."
