Continuing with our series of Why Canada Sucks we discuss the relationship between Canada and Saudi Arabia.

Scott and Greg talk to Anthony Fenton who is an expert on Canada Saudi Arabia relations. Anthony is currently working on his PHD at York U on the political economy of Canada-Saudi\Gulf states relations.

Anthony breaks down the recent diplomatic rift between Canada and Saudi Arabia, how it places in the decades long relationship between the two, what if any effect this will have on Canada's position in the Middle East and what a fighting anti-war movement could do about the arms sales.
