Nop, KSA don't rush things usually.. It must have evidence of some Canadian meddling in its internal affairs..Women rights are being reformed in KSA and it is real, but some extremist HR activists want to rush things, which will lead to negative outcomes and that is contrary to the Saudi interests..BTW, I think Canada is just a front to other Western powers meddeling in Muslim affairs..since Canada has a "nice reputation" when it comes to HR.. but why Canada did not ask Germany (at all) to release a Female Canadian (Monika Sheafer) imprisoned there for criticising the Holocaust.. let alone asking for its immediate release!?
Why do you say "he speaks a lie".. Any proof of Saudi meddling in internal affairs of other nations?
The guy is atheist..according to his father and brother..and BTW, a lot of Canadians are atheists too hence the affinity and sympathy/empathy.. things are much deeper than what they seem on the surface, this is not HR defence, this goes further..and has a religious connotation to it..
