They're just mad because we sold them a bunch of military hardware when they extra-super-pinky-sweared that they wouldn't use it on civilians again, and then we complained when they used it on civilians again:

Does your view change with knowledge Canada sold weapons to KSA after complaints of human rights were already voiced for years?

Yeah, it does. Countries shouldn't be virtue signaling while doing dirty deals with despots.

The Canadian government does this a lot regardless of political party. The reputation of Canada is part based on fake stereotypes but is maintained as too many believe in the trope thus is beneficial to different interests as a facade. Immigration is another example in which what politicians say in public does not align with the laws and records.

Sanctions, I would say.

This is true. A lot of Yankee Doodles don’t realize that most of the immigrants who came here from the US when Trump got elected were deported for violating the Safe Third Country Act. But showing Mounties helping children made us look great.

Yup. Heck some of the systems we have up here Trump dreams of.
In the news, S Arabia is waging a strange propaganda war.....
‘Canada is the world’s worst oppressor of women’: Saudi Arabia’s bizarre propaganda campaign
‘Canada is the world’s worst oppressor of women’: Saudi Arabia’s bizarre propaganda campaign
I can imagine their rhetoric: "Canada forces women to wear almost nothing in order to turn men on, so they are forced to be objectified"
I guess they don't even dare come here on vacation...they would nickname Italy slutland.
The bizarre spat with Canada shows Mohammed bin Salman’s true colours | Nesrine Malik
The culprit is Bin Salman, a man who strives for status and is easily slighted. He is far from being the modernising prince that the New York Times, in its own badly timed Vogue moment, described as leading Saudi Arabia’s Arab spring “from the top down”. Every signature campaign Bin Salman has launched has ended up in a quagmire. The war in Yemen continues to claim civilian lives and taint Saudi Arabia’s international reputation. The blockade of Qatar, a petty and intense affair, is now more than a year old, a year in which the Qatari economy has continued to grow. By contrast, in June, it was reported Saudi Arabia had suffered a shock collapse in inward investment. Bin Salman even managed to botch his best hand, the end of the ban on women driving. The good PR evaporated when several women activists were arrested a few days before it took effect.
Perhaps he's taking a leaf out of the Corbyn book.

KSA also claimed 75% of the prison population dies due to prison conditions.
This might be what passes for factual covering in Saudi Arabia.

I was talking about KSA claims about Canada. Sorry for the confusion.

Well then.... We have words to hunt down for daring to escape our sentences....
To convince Canadian authorities to keep apart from matters of human rights that they presumably see as an internal Saudi issue and, I assume, as a disrespect of Saudi sovereignity?
It would be a foolish and naive and dangerous attitude, but I assume that they are to be taken at face value anyway. It sounds sincere, if myopic. I truly believe that Saudis generally have a very hard time understanding what human rights are all about and feel unfairly criticized when the matter is raised.
