BREAKING: Canada announces trade action against Russia, new immigration streams for Ukrainians
The Canadian government is revoking Russia and Belarus’ nation status as trading partners and says they will be subjected to a 35 per cent tariff on their exports to Canada.
Canada is the first country to take this step, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Thursday, adding that the only other nation subject to these measures with Canada is North Korea. The federal government is also opening new immigration streams for Ukrainians who want to come to Canada, one for those coming temporarily and one for those looking to stay.
