I think I remember reading that pic/meme wasn't from the government, but some youth group connected to the government (or am I remembering incorrectly). Apparently, they meant it to imply "diplomats expelled back to Canada"... I guess that's "possible"...but I have to assume/accept an exceptionally high level of stupidity and incoherence to buy that story.
In any case, this is just a distraction by the Trudeau government and they can generally fuck off.

A thought experiment:
Why would anyone connected to the Saudi government in any way post a meme threatening a plane attack against a Canadian landmark in the fashion of the Sept. 11 attacks if the hijackers truly acted without government support?
