Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly announced a fresh wave of sanctions against Vladimir Putin’s regime on Friday including a ban on importing Russian vodka, caviar and diamonds.

The ban on the import of certain luxury goods from Russia will tighten the net on the country’s elite and covers alcoholic drinks, fish and seafood.

Canada is also imposing a ban on products that could be used in the production and manufacture of weapons by Russia. Gleb Frank, owner of one of Russia’s largest fishery companies, and son of Sergei Frank, former minister of transport and former CEO of Sovcomflot, Russia’s largest shipping firm, is on the new sanctions list.

Freeland announced Canada is extending an additional $250-million loan to Ukraine, bringing Canada’s total financial support for the war-torn country to $1.8 billion. The loan comes on top of military support and weaponry for Ukraine.

Disney+ releases new trailer for Marvel's 'She-Hulk: Attorney at Law'Disney+ has released a new trailer for Marvel's 'She-Hulk: Attorney at Law' starring Canadian actor Tatiana Maslany as She-Hulk/Jennifer Walters, a lawyer who specializes in superhuman-oriented legal cases. A 9 part half-hour superhero law show that is a comedic slant? Sounds refreshing. The cg looks a bit off, but it could be unfinished still. Other than that it looked like a comedic take on a law show. Excited to see what the actual show is like. Right...so now anybody in the family tree can be a Hulk...BTW, Star Trek did Orion women 55 years ago, and did them better.
