Canada is imposing a 35 per cent tariff on goods from Russia and Belarus as Moscow’s war in Ukraine rages on.
The penalty is the latest of a slew of measures imposed by Canada and allies over Russia’s invasion of its democratic neighbour, which entered its second week on Thursday.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland told reporters at a news conference in Ottawa that the federal government is revoking Russia and Belarus’ status as a most-favoured-nation trade partner under World Trade Organization (WTO) provisions. North Korea is the only other nation that does not have that status with Canada.
“We are working closely with our partners and allies to encourage them to take the same step,” Freeland said.
Plus, Defence Minister Anita Anand announced that Canada is supplying Ukraine with further lethal aid in its war with Russia.
She also said Canada is providing Ukraine with $1 million towards the purchase of modern high-resolution satellite imaging technology to provide their military with a “strengthened ability to monitor the movement of Russian forces in and around their territory.”

Russia and Belarus needs to be completely cut off. If you don't,you are only prolonging inevitable because Putin is not going to stop.
Chrystia Freeland comes from scum and the records opened by the Polish government in Warsaw revealed that Freeland’s maternal grandfather Michael (Mikhailo) Chomiak was a Nazi collaborator from the beginning to the end of the war.
If you run from a bully.
He will keep beating you up and chasing you….
You will run forever!
SOMETIMES like NOW… You HAVE to FIGHT to be a MAN
Your children or Grandchildren will pay the price because you live in fear.
You fear death… So leave it to your children/ Grandchildren to stand up for you.
That is what cowards do…
Cowards and wimps "Let the others handle it!!!"
Man up!
Nazi
???????? The level of insanity is just out of this world. If you believe anything any government is saying you are hopelessly lost. It's a song and dance to distract you from what's going on under our noses
Maybe some help for Poland to deal with such influx of refuges.. Thank you would be nice too..
Does Russia even have an economy? I don't think I've ever got anything russian in my life…
Get off the air,,,your embarrassing all Canadian,s , a fly compared to a 747 Putin just laughs at your intelligence, well we have an orang-utan 🦧 for a prim minister ! the east elected into office ,,, do you expect anything else ,,, look!! He’s still buying oil from Russia, how stupid is that ? Giving Russia financial support to fight the Ukraine, ,,, People of Ontario, examine your heads ,,, what are you,s smoking down there?
Cut the crap and just stop all trade with these countries and any country that trades with them. That would take balls that our government does not have. We are soft not willing to suffer along side our friends. Our greed is greater than our will to do the right thing. Shame on us.
EVIL FACIST WOMAN. TRAITOR TO CANADA. SHE DESERVES TO GO TO JAIL.
Lol,but no problem buying from China what a bunch of clowns
Wars bad so why not the emergency act putins got bouncy castles. Did you think we would forget never
You know for your safety..kinda like psyop 19…
Paris will 'deliver total economic, financial war against Russia
Ottawa impose 35% tariffs on goods from Russia, Belarus
Eternal glory & full respect to France & Canada !
I did not know Canada was doing business with North Korea. So what about my lemongrass business here , this is unacceptable
Yea anything the WEF wants to do, we should be doing the opposite.
Yes!!!! 'cause nothing says fierce like a journalist turned tyrant.
Lol, Candian parlament should take care of their own issues before addressing any country in the world. Who will ever take them serious after watching how the went all dictator on their own people. Lmfao
This is a disgrace! Canada will get taxes, and Putin will get the money to buy more weapons to murder more people.
Tariffs are collected by the government and paid for by the domestic consumer. Ms Freeland is opportunistically collecting taxes on the back of Russian war, her justification must be that she does not trust the consumer to decide for themselves about buying Russian goods. Thanks for underestimating us again, Ms Freeland.
Can they give that 35% to the people? Seeing how it will affect us..
What do you think this government is doing to his population??? They’re slowly removing our rights one by one by this covid propaganda to coerce us into this QR code cashless society to take complete control over us and our bank accounts!!! What is this if it’s not dictatorial social communism???? DO NOT ACCEPT ANYTHING FROM THIS CORRUPT GOVERNMENT!!!!! Especially this FREELAND WOMAN… SHE’S CORRUPT…and she comes from the deep state. Check her family’s background. Her grandfather was working for Hitler. SURPRISED????
you guys will see the same justice as ukraine
As she reads a script from the IMF, beware
No confidence in most of there idiots.
Globalism is killing children. Screw the Un
Gold and silver? Get it people
Freeland is a supporter of the Nazis in Ukraine – why else would she wave a known Ukrainian Nazi banner in Toronto protest last week?
35%?!?!?
We pay more than that in Canada in taxes!
These corrupt politicians must be removed!
F o k Trudeau!
The tweaker.
Nice, more taxes because of government incompetence. Shut down all energy production in this country and then blame the Russians when prices spike; what do you think was going to happen?
Is someone tracking the billion dollars we gave to the Ukraine, so it doesn't end up in one of Justin Trudeau's family members accounts AGAIN ? Like the WE foundation money that was suppose to be for studends but ended up in Justin's mothers & wife's & brothers bank accounts! His record alone proves beyond any doubt that he cannot & should not be trusted!
Didn’t Chrystia bring her Ukrainian Nazi Banner with her?
Wake up Canada! Canada should not accept any Russian goods. A 35% tariff is a sick joke.
Canada should not receive any goods from Russia.
Better yet, just ban imports from all other countries and Canada can learn to be self sufficient.
OUR TAXES ARE PAYING FOR "BIO-METRICS", THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS GONE TYRANTICAL, WE STILL CAN NOT EVEN GET EVERY COP THAT WORKS FOR "PUBLIC PEACE", TO WEAR A BODY CAMERA,AND NOT TURN IT OFF ON BIS OWN WHEN EVER HE FEELS.
Freeland needs to recuse herself from this file.
Would her grandfather be proud? Considering his past, I'm guessing yes?
Only the people will suffer. Lukashenko and Putin will always have the food and luxury. 🙁
Better hope Russia don't take over Canada.
😐😐😐😐
CHRISTYA SHE IS A NAZI COLABORANT GREAT DAUGHTER.
So Canadians don't mind doing business with the devil, they just want ensure as much profit as possible. What a message to send to your children.
Real headline: Canada shoots itself in foot, refuses cheap Russian bandages.
Chrystia Freeland is such a disgrace to Canada. Wolf in sheep's clothing
