I would have to imagine what they are trying to say, is that if your going to pick a fight like this, with a Country like SA, then you better be ready to back it up with physical force, otherwise don't bother. We can't really change their religious or cultural mindset, and we can't tariff them into the ground or anything else like that, so the only other legit option would be to use military force.
Since that's never going to happen, JT and his minions should put a sock in it. Ok, you tried, but a Country like SA is only going to bend ever so slightly on an issue like this at best, but they are never going to come close to breaking. Not by using words anyway.
It's not all that surprising either. Canada is slowly starting to drift towards Conservatism more so, and it's people aren't quite as sold on immigration as we once were, so to make sure the Gov doesn't directly piss it's own people off, they try to help foreigners by pissing off their leaders in their own Countries, indirectly hurting Canadians and maybe even Arabians.
It's almost like our Liberal leaders think Trump actually get's away with what he does because he's a big meanie that uses raw words and takes a harsh stance sometimes.

I like everything you just said, thumbs up. For the original reply, It does not make me any less Canadian to want bad, anti freedom, sexist, and racist people dead. I'm Albertan after all (Basically the south, but in the north).
The government can't just bark and then not bite. The women of the middle east really need something more than just words on twitter. The world doesn't respect or take Canada as serious as they once have or like they do for Trump's USA. The government has to SHOW the world we're serious, not expect the world to take us serious.

On the bolded: No, we aren't. No matter how much you may wish us to be otherwise, Alberta is still more progressive than most of the United States overall, and in particular, the American south.
On the rest: This isn't just Canada poking Saudi Arabia about the women of the middle east. This is Canada standing up for a Canadian citizen who has been detained by Saudi Arabia for the crime of being a woman with an opinion. You can be quite certain consular and government officials have been involved in this case doing far more than just sending tweets.
