Kudos to canada. Even if it is true that someone was arrested, why yap and blabber. Not like us dumb americans.
There is an ongoing attempt by the U.A.E. to illegitmise Canada for refusing to “open their sky’s” to their (U.A.E.) aircraft. Therefore they led a campaign to force Canada to withdraw from a race for a seat on the UN security council.
