All talk, with no actions whatsoever the point! Saudi could have cut off the oil to USA and Israel but no they continue to do business with the devil!

Venezuela was doing well till they cut into Bush-lights buddies oil profits. So Bush-light enacted a boycott of Venezuelan oil driving oil prices up increasing profits.

We need proportional representation, referendums and lean towards direct democracy, better regulation on companies making records profits and cutting quality while paying lower taxes, investment in public housing and industries here, nationalizing our natural resources like oil so the people can benefit from the profits not just a few wealthy executives, and accountability for our politicians that don't uphold their promises or act in the peoples best interest, including those that are accused of corruption and colluding with foreign governments/interests.

I’ve been in Canada for over 24 years and I have never seen it like this in my life!\nThe main cause of the majority of issues is the housing crisis.\n\nWhat a lot of you might not be aware of is that we have not been building homes to keep up with the demand for over two decades. That’s why the price for housing has increased astronomically. And then our government decided to basically allow unfettered immigration in order to take advantage of the new immigrants’ money so they can use it to fund the Canadian Pension Plan.\n\nJust an FYI, the way CPP is funded is that the current group of working people are paying for the current group of retired seniors. And due to the lack of childbirths and people living longer, the CPP can no longer afford to take care of all the seniors in its system. Thus, the government devised a plan to have more people coming here so as to milk the money they have. Actually, they’ve even gone to the extent to basically allow seniors to be willingly euthanized… it’s absolutely bonkers.\n\nBut anyway, I digress… so then with housing at astronomical prices, you’re now pushing out the poor people onto the streets, causing homelessness. \n\nAnd when people are homeless, the average person will do drugs to escape reality and commit crimes to survive. Which is why it’s now increasingly dangerous in public spaces. \n\nThen, the transportation also never accounted for such a massive increase in population. At least not in Toronto. Which is also causing major inconvenience to go anywhere. \n\nIt used to be that if you lived in the suburbs, you could drive into Toronto pretty quickly but now, it takes like an hour and a half to two hours, making it extremely difficult to get around. And also, hard to take advantage of the “lower” housing prices in the suburbs.\n\nBut that’s not all. Part of the issue is that the Trudeau government wants to no longer have Canada use our oil and gas overnight, which is causing the increase in gas prices. Many Canadians still rely on gas because electric cars are not efficient in Canadian weather and are simply too expensive for your average person. And yet they cut off our supply of oil and gas which causes the price inflation of transport and anything that requires to be moved such as groceries and supplies.\n\nAnd don’t get me started on how our healthcare system is falling apart… even though we pay some of the highest taxes in the world…

So why don't you cut off the oil to the oppressors

Saudi has the power to stop Israel in it's tracks by cutting off oil supply to both US and Israel, however, they choose not to

Our foreign relations are in shambles and our domestic issues are piling up. We’ve almost lost our stronghold in the Middle East and tensions with Russia are higher than ever. Our borders are compromised and inflation is at an all time high, especially with Saudi’s recent oil cuts (two million barrels per day). The Biden administration has led us into ruin.

Good answer but at least the Arab world should put Sanctions on isreal, expel embasadors , stop the oil and cut some trade.\n\nReally it's shameful they and the rest ofvthe world has done too little

And by cutting off Israel oil from Saudi Arabia

Opec plus could end this in a day by saying that if there is no ceasefire, then they will not sell anymore oil to Israel or do business with them at all. \nStill no ceasefire? Then they cut production globally sending the price of oil and fossil fuels through the roof. In a week after the price of gas goes through the roof in the US, Biden will stop sending arms to Israel and he and the US government will force Israel into a ceasefire. \nThat is what Opec plus could do to create the 'conditions' for a ceasefire and it would work. \n \nNo more war.\n\nBut they are not doing that are they?\nYou have to wonder why. They did it for money during the war in Ukraine, but they will not do it now. \n\nIt is very telling, isn't it.\nJust a thought or 2

cut the oil then

He is, unfortunately, only half right. The Arab world DOES have a card to play and that is gas and oil. Threaten to cut that off to Israel and the US, they start listening because nothing speaks louder than money. The OIC can do something about it indirectly but i dunno why they won't do even that.

He is right for sure! But show us how you are working towards their security and freedom! You guys are both taking action! You have money and power to sanction western that would push! But you ain’t doing it , you are bot cutting alies or stopping gas and oil nd so on! There is much you can do and I don’t know what are you afraid of??

Then cut off oil supply if that’s what you truly believe

CUT OFF THE OIL SUPPLY

Not accepting Palestinians is not the problem. Both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are partners in crime. They had a fancy meeting, what was the result? If they cut off the oil, the next day Israel would stop the genocide, but they didn't. both countries should add the Star of David to their flags.

Is Saudi, Kuwait,Qatar, Turkey,UAE and Jordan bold to make cut oil on USA and EU as a sign of protest against Palestine issue ?? ???

Its funny when people talk about the quality of Canadian health care. For example, BC Cancer is one of the best in the world. Canada is on the cutting edge of many health care procedures. Yes, its hard to get a primary care physician but that is because the US is throwing enormous amounts of cash at Canadian doctors and nurses. Canada still keeps up pretty darn well especially when considering Canada has only a FRACTION of the US population and much fewer resources and funds available. My family has never suffered from our health care system in the past 60 years. 1 family member had a quadruple bypass - no bills 2) cancer - no bills 3) emergency c-section w air transport to city 400 mils away - $360 for air ambulance 4) emergency appendectomy - no bills 5) Heart atttack w stint - no bill 6) MRI and CATscans - No bills 6) 3 ADHD diagnosis w mental health care support - no bills 7) industrial accident with crushed hand - no bills 8) Electrical accident with burns throughout body - no bills 9) burns from an oil fire - no bills 10) fall into fire pit w subsequent 3rd degree burns on leg - no bills 11) leg amputation from type 1 diabetes - no bills. And then there are all the little things that happen day to day. In each event, we received top notch care and services. So, you might earn more in the US but we save more in Canada and very few suffer from it. A lot of complaints? Most bad experiences are shared whereas positive ones are not. I think if people on both sides really looked, the US health care fails many more people per capital on a daily basis than in Canada. US insurers are known to abandoned people when they become overly expensive and its not unusual to not have choices in drugs or care options.

Canada is a natural resource economy but yet we keep cutting deals with Americans to give them cheaper minerals and resources when we should be increasing the price of minerals in resources because we fund most of the American infrastructure with her oil lumber in minerals but of course the Canadian government cuts deals and gives them below market rates when we should be giving them above market rates because where else are they going to go for imports that cost less for transportation because they’re not going to start importing more from the UK or any other countries overseas, and they definitely won’t be importing more from Mexico because America has a problem with Mexico apparently

Just cut the oil embargo. You can hit two birds with one stone.
