当初哈伯与沙特签的150亿的军工产品的合同（由安省伦敦的General Dynamics做订单），由于此人权政治正确撕B，现在合同没了，3000多工人得失业回家了。
Saudi Arabia’s central bank and state pension funds have also ordered overseas asset managers to sell off Canadian investments, according to a report by the Financial Times.
“What’s really needed is the prime minister to get on a plane and get over to Riyadh and try to resolve this issue,” said Baird, now senior advisor with Bennett Jones. “That’s in the interests of Canada and Canadian workers and the Canadian people.”
Baird added Canada should treat Saudi Arabia like an ally, especially in light of London, Ont.-based General Dynamics Land Systems’ $15-billion contract to supply military vehicles to the kingdom. The deal with Saudi Arabia was struck by former prime minister Stephen Harper in 2014.
“I don’t think they’ve handled this issue well,” Baird said. “When you sign a $15-billion arms deal, sort of expect a thank you, especially from the 3,000 jobs that are really at risk in London, Ont. We should be standing beside a friend and ally like Saudi Arabia.”
Baird also added that geopolitical strategy should be considered in keeping the Saudis happy.
“They have the threat from the Islamic State next door that would love to take Mecca and Medina. We want them to be able to defend themselves,” he said. “We don’t want Iran – they’ve already taken out the government in Yemen – and obviously the Saudis are pushing back against Iran.”
Baird also said that the current regime is working towards modernization.
