The US is the world's hegemon and Canada enjoys protection from the US. While the US has made big mistakes, on the whole the world has been better off under its security aegis. As for Saudi Arabia, this sand pit would be nothing without the vast sums sent to them for oil and gas. As a 'thank you', Saudi Arabia has spent the last 40 years funding Islamic radicalism and terrorism, which has led to the deaths of millions in various wars and acts of terrorism. Think of them as Hitler's Germany but with men in robes and pyjamas. Canadians sully themselves by cozying up to this rancid state just so they can make some cash selling weapons.
