Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a first round of sanctions against Russia on Tuesday in response to Putin recognizing the independence of Ukraine separatist regions Donetsk and Luhansk.
"Canada and our allies will defend democracy. We are taking these actions today, to stand against authoritarianism," Trudeau said.
On Monday evening, the Canadian Parliament voted to pass Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's request to invoke the Emergencies Act, making it the first time the Act has been invoked in Canada's history. The vote was 185 in favor to 151 against.
The Act was invoked in response to protests by a convoy of truckers who parked their rigs in Ottawa for three weeks while demanding that Trudeau lift the vaccine mandate for those in their industry.
