Russia warns Canada over blatantly unfriendly Magnitsky Act
Russia says sanctions, travel bans will inflict 'significant damage' on Canada, Russian relationship
By Levon Sevunts
Radio Canada International
May 18, 2017
The Kremlin fired a diplomatic shot across Ottawa's bow Thursday, warning that the adoption of a Canadian version of a U.S. law that imposes financial sanctions and travel bans on high-ranking Russian officials will cause serious damage in relations between the two countries.
The stark diplomatic warning comes after Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland said Wednesday that the government has agreed to create a so-called Magnitsky Act that would expand Canada's international sanctions law to target gross human rights violators.
"We are compelled to warn the official Ottawa that we view its active support of the Canadian version of the American 'Magnitsky Act,' which contains contrived human rights claims against Russia, as another blatantly unfriendly step," the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland has been barred from entering Russia because of her staunch criticism of Russian actions in Ukraine and its annexation of Crimea.The problem with legislating sanctions targeting �gross human rights violators� is that its application is completely arbitrary. Do we ban officials from every brutal dictatorship in the world or just those we particularly disagree with today? Do we follow through and cease doing business with those nations?
This is a �feel good� Liberal initiative that will not improve the lot of people suffering human rights abuses. We have far more important business to take care of than passing useless legislation so that we can feel better about ourselves while doing nothing concrete or effective to mitigate human rights abuses.
