After its explosive allegation of possible Indian involvement in the killing of one of its citizens, Canada receives only muted support from allies.

Aidan Simardone was asked a simple question on the streets of Toronto and his lengthy answer has gone viral

Canada's allegations of India's involvement in the killing of a Canadian citizen have received a muted international response. Canada's main allies, including the US and UK, have expressed concern and called for investigations but have refrained from condemning India. This reluctance to speak out is largely due to the allies' desire to strengthen ties with India as a counterweight to China's growing power. Additionally, India's status as a major global power and its fast-growing economy make it difficult for allies to criticize.

While its Western allies have declared their concern and urged full investigations, none has condemned India for its alleged killing of a Canadian.

When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stood up in Parliament and said India may have been involved in the killing of a Canadian citizen, the muted international response offered a lesson in modern geopolitics.
