Excellent! Jersey signing on to #Magnitsky would be a huge boost for Russian and global human rights and anti-corruption movements.

I wonder if the Russian people realize that Vladimir Putin hates them just as much as he hates the rest of us?

Ukrainian symbols placed in front of the Russian embassy in Ottawa to protest the war have been vandalized by two men emerging from a car with diplomatic plates. Hello @csiscanada @rcmpgrcpolice @CanadaFP #personanongrata

Dear @CBCNews @CBCTheNational The Baltic States have been independent for 30 years. You can join the rest of the western world and drop the “former Soviet” tag.

Add Pakistan to the growing list of foreign regimes - Russia, China, Iran - that seek to discredit and silence critics abroad. @canadafp must publicly condemn such information warfare operations against Canadians. Standing with @calxandr .

Utterly shameful of @PM_ViktorOrban to block sanctions against Russian officials responsible for the jailing of @vkaramurza . @HungaryinCanada

Very ugly development. Hungary hijacks EU Magnitsky sanctions on jailers of Russian dissident, Vladimir Kara-Murza. Enough is enough. Putin’s Trojan horse in the EU cannot be allowed to continue like this

The Canadian government and voters should be asking why @Twitter is facilitating Chinese regime intimidation of Canadian voters + election interference w/ threats of a "counter-strike" given that Twitter signed the "Declaration on Electoral Integrity"?
