Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird

Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird: Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said Canada is looking to take every political and diplomatic action to send a message that "it will not be business as usual" when "a sovereign country is invaded and occupied." , according to CBC. Baird made the comments Friday afternoon at a press conference in Montreal, where he is meeting with leaders of the citys Ukrainian community. The Canadian government is imposing a travel ban against individuals deemed a threat to Ukraine as it continues to denounce the Russian occupation of the Crimean peninsula. "That Soviet-style tactic may have been acceptable in the last century, but it's not acceptable in 2014," he said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
