But none have stepped up to condemn India for its alleged involvement in the June slaying on Canadian soil of a Sikh separatist, Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
All that makes it hard for Canada's main allies — which are also some of India's main partners — to loudly speak out.
The government’s allegations are particularly awkward now for the U.K., which is seeking a free trade deal with India.
In 2018, for example, China-Canada relations nosedived after China detained former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig and Canadian entrepreneur Michael Spavor.
Now the stakes are higher, and it's unclear — at least publicly — who Canada can count on for full-throated support.
