Russia’s Foreign Ministry has released a long list of Canadians barred from entering the country.
The list of 313 is comprised mostly of Member’s of Parliament across all party lines, and others in leadership roles in various organizations. Russia calls it “the blacklist”.
Notable names include Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly, Defence Minister Anita Anand, and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh.
Also on the list are Conservative MP for Yorkton-Melville Cathay Wagantall, Tory MP for Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa Dan Mazier, and Tory MP for Souris-Moose Mountain Robert Kitchen.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said this is in response to sanctions imposed on them by Canada.
