Saudi Arabia

from Unpublished Cafe · host Unpublished Media Inc.

It was a tweet that was heard half a world away and diplomatic relationships between Canada and Saudi Arabia are now hanging by a thread. ———————————— PUBLISHED: 08/22/2018 Today on the Unpublished Cafe podcast: Diplomatic tension is on the rise between the two countries after Canada's Global Affairs Ministry tweeted at the Saudi government, condemning the arrest of two female bloggers who have been critical of the regime. Since the tweet "heard round the world", Saudi Arabia has kicked out Canada's diplomat, pulled 15 thousand students out of Canadian universities, suspended flights between the two countries and ordered it's central bank to sell any Canadian investments it has despite the loss. But can we be that bad if Saudi Arabia, in it's huff, will still sell more than 100 000 barrels of oil a day? Saudi oil is refined on the east coast and is the primary source for fuel in Quebec and Atlantic Canada. ———————————— https://www.unpublished.vote/issue/141/saudi-canada-relations ———————————— GUESTS: Peggy Mason http://www.rideauinstitute.ca/staff/ https://twitter.com/masonpeggy?lang=en Executive Director of the Rideau Institute, a think tank focused on Canada and it's place in the world when it comes to peacekeeping and peacemaking.

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans. We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.
