Bro, can you move this thread to the Arab section of the forum? It's not really fitting for this section.
I don't know what is going on and to me it looks like an overreaction from KSA but on the other hand Canada has no business lecturing other sovereign states online via Twitter using a condensing tone without knowing all the details or even if the reports given to them are accurate about the sister of Badawi.
There must be more to this story although I am against this entire case surrounding Badawi but on the other hand the government in KSA cannot tolerate a Swedish buffet when the region is as it is currently and if tolerating such dissidents, other more extreme ones would/will demand a similar treatment and then we will have a mess. Wait until further reforms have taken place (great reforms so far have taken place on almost every field in a very short time-span) before greater public dissent can be tolerated.
It is a slippery rope. Easy for Canada to lecture when their democratization progress is much older.
Speaking about this issue, how about KSA lecturing Canada about their bloody colonial history and the struggles of the Native Canadians whose people were killed/died due to migration of the forefathers of most Canadian citizens, almost entirely?

Anyway this is quite strange as Saudi Arabian students in Canada and citizens have contributed positively and been law-abiding citizens (not a single case of terrorism) and those Canadians interacting with Saudi Arabians have mostly only positive things to say.
It's a shame that they will be uprooted (15.000 students) and held hostage by some "petty" dispute that began on Twitter. Welcome to 2018.
Anyway a positive thing here is that KSA is not afraid to go against a country as powerful (economically) as Canada and which has close relations with Western powers. So much for the empty propaganda I read on PDF (in particular) about KSA somehow not being able to speak against the West
and act at the same time. Once again those lies are being destroyed but I am sure that the usual braindead suspects will try to find excuses.
"Begging"? Are you kidding or do you suffer from delusions of grandeur? Who is the actual "beggar" in this relationship if we are to be honest with all due respect?
Yes, KSA/Arab coalition asking a long-time ally that helped/bailed out Pakistan on numerous occasions for a symbolic number of soldiers (mountain troops mostly) is/was really alpha and omega, lol.
Get down on earth and stop reading moronic low IQ anti-Arab propaganda which is abound on PDF.
