Fresh Canada Russia sanctions in blacklist 21 individuals and 53 AI, drone and energy entities, add 100 shadow fleet vessels, and slash the oil price cap to increase pressure on Moscow.
I checked those numbers on Global Affairs Canada's site. Canada coordinates these sanctions with the US and EU to stay aligned with our closest partners. The House foreign affairs committee noted in 2017 that our exports to Russia fell from 1.4 billion dollars to 600 million after the retaliation. The direct hit to our economy stays small. It helps lock in stable trade rules for the long haul.
"Canada has now sanctioned more than 3,300 individuals and entities and listed over 400 vessels since 2014."

How do these affect Canada's position with world neighbors? How will these affect Canada's economy for current and future generations?
