expands sanctions against Syria, takes aim at Russia
FA Minister
John Baird turned up the pressure on the Syrian regime on Friday, adding more
than 50 names to Canada’s economic blacklist and calling out Russia for
supporting President Assad’s gov’t.-“We will bring up strong objections to the
actions of the Russian gov’t which we take great exception to,” said Baird. “Not
just the veto at the security council, but moral support and other support that
has allowed this regime to soldier on.”
