Canada appears to have found another friend in the Gulf: the National Post and Montreal Gazette are both reporting that:
"Canada and Qatar have quietly signed an aviation agreement that will allow Qatar Airways to fly three passenger flights and three cargo flights a week to and from the Gulf sheikdom.
Talks were successfully concluded on Oct. 25 after only three days of negotiation, according to Qatari news media....
Qatar does not require that Canadian citizens have a visa before travelling there. In a sign of warming relations, Canada is to open an embassy in Qatar early next year."
