I was relaxing in the little park next to the marine police station, on the last day of a long sweltering weekend, when Callum came running up with the shocking news.
Mohammed bin Salman aka MBS, the perfumed crown prince of the barbaric Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, had declared war on Canada for not showing him enough respect.
And not only was he now trying to bully us into submission.
Saudi Arabia lashed out at Canada on Monday for criticizing the recent arrests of Saudi rights activists, and threatened to break off trade with other Western countries if they too spoke out about political repression in the kingdom.
Some of his agitated supporters appeared to be threatening a 911-style attack on MY neighbourhood !!!!!!
He liked to portray himself as a champion of human rights, and the leader of the war against cultural barbaric practices.
But Stephen Harper never lifted a finger to ask the barbaric regime in Saudi Arabia to stop savagely flogging the blogger Raif Badawi.
Even though his family lives in Canada...
Because he was too busy cuddling with the King and selling him armoured cars.
I don't expect much, or anything really, from the barbaric kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The home of the beheaders, and the nexus of terrorism.
But even by its brutish standards this is outrageous.
There couldn't be a more hypocritical or nauseating spectacle, the old king of the brutish terrorist kingdom of Saudi Arabia dies.
And western leaders fall over themselves praising him. With Britain's David Cameron even ordering that flags be flown at half-mast.
While our disgusting Prime Minister Stephen Harper blubbers sympathetically.
A few days ago I wrote a post pointing out that our ghastly regime had failed to say a word about Saudi Arabia's savage flogging of the blogger Raif Badawi.
After signing a deal with that reactionary kingdom to sell it $10 billion worth of armoured cars.
Well now Harper's faithful stooge John Baird has finally said something.
But only after it was revealed that he is planning a high-level meeting with one of its most powerful princes Turki al-Faisal.
Yesterday I wrote a post denouncing the Harper regime for its refusal to protest the savage punishment the Saudis are inflicting on the blogger Raif Badawi.
For the price of $10 billion dollars worth of armoured cars.
But what I didn't know at the time is that Badawi's family lives in Quebec, which makes the silence of the Cons even more shameful.
Yesterday he declared that an "international jihadist movement" had declared war on Canada.
And claimed that only he could save us.
But who will save us from his good friends the Saudis? The beating heart of the jihadist movement.
Who would flog a blogger so savagely.
