Which should have been met automatically by an embargo of all OPEC oil coming into North America. Odds are that Obama couldn't have done thanks to all the incestuous connections between Houston and Wall Street and Riyadh, not to mention the apparently "need" to project the unending idiocy of "the Saudis are our friends". Our friends? Really? Nice friends they are, what with setting off a recession and putting tens of thousands of North Americans out of work.
Said it before but this lack of reaction by Canada to what the Saudis deliberately did to us is the one issue that has the potential to make me not vote for Harper in the upcoming election. That means I probably won't be voting at all because I certainly won't give my support to the two left-wing parties that want to hammer Alberta as hard as they can and triple or quadruple the amount of economic damage that's already been caused by the Saudis. I just can't set aside though that instead of striking back economically at the Saudis, as much as we have any ability to do so, that Harper has gone out of his way to reward them. That contract for the AFV's should have been cancelled outright. And what remained of the Wheat Board should not have been sold when it was apparent that one of the partners in the group that purchased it was Saudi Arabia.
You don't reward enemies, and the Saudis are our economic enemies as they've clearly demonstrated over the last year. To make things easier for them, while they're doing what they can to harm Canadians, is simply unacceptable.
All good ideas, but they would have required spines - and that's something very few politicians these days have, regardless of their political beliefs.
