The fall out continues over the political spat with Canada. The Canadian ambassador interfered with Saudi domestic policy and on Monday, Saudi Arabia ordered the ambassador to leave KSA. The Saudi public on social media have showed their support for the decision, as do countries such as Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.

The latest news is that Saudia Airlines have stopped flights to Toronto effective immediately. It is unclear at this point, if and when the flights will resume.

At the time of writing, the Canadian foreign minister Chrystia Freeland has not shown any sign of apologizing.
