Russia Could Put Sanctions on Canada, Ambassador Says

Russia would impose economic sanctions against Canada if it targets Russian banks, affecting Canadian-based companies operating in the world’s largest nation, the Russian ambassador to Canada said.

Firms including Bombardier Inc. and Kinross Gold Corp. may be affected if Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper imposes sanctions against Russia’s financial institutions because of Russia’s actions in Ukraine, said Georgiy Mamedov, the Russian Federation’s ambassador to Canada.
