The UAE has successfully used Canada to launder its image. With trade deals they ensure you won’t say anything about their human rights record or that they’re funding a genocide in Sudan 🇸🇩
During our visit last week, the UAE committed to invest $70 billion into Canada.
We’re building big things at home — and finding new partners who want to build with us.
