Russia has imposed personal sanctions against 87 Canadians, according to the Foreign Ministry website. They are banned from entering the country.

The restrictions were a response to “anti-Russian sanctions periodically imposed by the ruling regime of Justin Trudeau in Canada, which have affected government officials at all levels, including regional ones, journalists, cultural figures and ordinary Russians who do not suit official Ottawa in any way,” the department explained.

Francois Legault - Prime Minister of Quebec Timothy Jerome Houston - Prime Minister of Nova Scotia; Sergey Sergeevich Onyshchenko (Sergiy Serhiyovich Onyshchenko) - soldier of the Canadian Navy, linguist-analyst; Kairi Taul Hemingway is the Chairman of the Estonian Central Council of Canada.
