No, Canada is not alone in facing Saudi ArabiaMichael StephensMichael Stephens is the research fellow for Middle East Studies at Royal United Services Institute RUSI, and formerly served in the U.K. Foreign and Commonwealth Office....Canada, Britain and the United States are members of the Five Eyes security relationship, which is unlike any other diplomatic and intelligence network in the world. It is a bond of countries with common values who speak frankly and openly with one another, and who align their interests overseas to the best of their abilities.Mr. Trump may or may not value this relationship, but we in Britain certainly do. Should the crisis escalate, Riyadh knows full well that we would not take their side, and this is why the dispute should go no further. Indeed, behind London’s call for restraint is a firm message to Riyadh not to push the issue, thereby forcing Britain to pick a side.It is regrettable that our closest friends feel alone at this time, but it is important to state again that Britain will continue to try its hardest to prevent the crisis from expanding. Canada can rest assured that its friends are working to support it, albeit quietly.See article at: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-no-canada-is-not-alone-in-facing-saudi-arabia/
