Trudeau's dilemma: how to be tough on Saudi Arabia and save jobs

Trudeau's dilemma: how to be tough on Saudi Arabia and save jobsTrudeau, who has promised "consequences" for the Oct. 2 murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, is under pressure to freeze an already unpopular $13 billion contract for armored vehicles built in Canada by U.S.-based General Dynamics. The problem is that the deal underpins 3,000 jobs in the small city of London, Ontario, a recovering manufacturing center and a likely battleground in next year's general election. The debate over the deal is worrying to members of Trudeau's ruling Liberal Party, including Peter Fragiskatos, the lawmaker from the London North Centre parliamentary constituency.
