A few months back Foreign Affairs Canada send the following tweet (One single tweet), to release activists including a Canadian citizen:

"Canada is gravely concerned about additional arrests of civil society and women’s rights activists in #SaudiArabia, including Samar Badawi. We urge the Saudi authorities to immediately release them and all other peaceful #humanrights activists. "

Saudi Arabia responded to that one tweet by:
1) Kicking out all of our ambassadors and diplomats within a few days.
2) Immediately calling back all their post secondary students (8,300) and certain others working in Canada, plus all ambassadors.
3)  No new trade deals would be allowed.
4) Banned the export of all Canadian grain.
5) Banned all flights in from / out to Canada

There was other large existing economic deals that have remained untouched.

Obviously the US has more power than Canada to move things, without criticism. but it will be interesting to see how much they want to push them.
