SAUDIS RESENT FREELAND'S LECTURES & DEMANDS

   Canada’s Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland was hoping to hold a meeting with Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al Jubeir on the side-lines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York to help mend fences between the two countries after an explosive dispute during the summer.
  However, the Saudi minister said his country cannot be treated like a banana republic and does not accept to be lectured to over human rights or given orders.
  “It’s outrageous from my perspective that a country will sit there and lecture us and make demands,” Al Jubeir said.
‘We demand the immediate release.’ Really? We demand the immediate independence of Quebec. We demand the immediate granting of equal rights to [native] Canadian Indians. What on earth are you talking about?” he rhetorically asked, referring to tweets by Canadian officials demanding the immediate release of an antigovernment activist.
