I fail to see how this is unfair; Canada charges for UAE citizens to get a visa to visit here. Not quite as much, but you gotta squeeze some nuts sometimes if you want to get results. I doubt this is going to work, though. The 25,000 Canadians who work there will probably just get their employer to cover the increased visa fee.

Of course they will. This fee will basically only affect pleasure travellers, of which I can't imagine there are many.
And JD, thanks for the UAE plug but you haven't changed my mind. It is a giant desert, it does have unbearable heat and the government is run by a monarch, despite you're demeaning tone nothing I said was incorrect. Oh, and if you consider the sex trade/slavery problems that Dubai has to be "treating women just fine" then I feel sorry for your wife and/or mother.
