Ottawa has announced plans to ban Russian owned or registered vessels from Canadian ports and internal waters.
Coincidentally, the news came few days ago in a tweet less than an hour after Premier Andrew Furey told media he’d fully support such a move.
He noted it’s federal jurisdiction, but he’d have no trouble backing any and all sanctions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
The ban on Russia owned – or registered vessels is expected to take effect later this week under the Special Economic Measures Act.
