Canadian Government: Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird

Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird: "This is not something that Canada would have considered to do," Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird told The Canadian Press in an exclusive interview, according to CBC. Baird's comments were the first from the Canadian government following the Kremlin's decision to allow Snowden to leave the transit zone in the Moscow airport where he has been living since late June and Canada has added its voice to those criticizing Russia for granting asylum to U.S. National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden. "It is an example where it does show Russia is a bit of an outlier in the G8." (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
