Where Russia-Canada trade relations stand as Ukraine tensions escalate

CTV News: "Canada recently warned these sanctions could become “severe” if Russia makes further moves against Ukraine. But despite current sanctions, trade between Canada and Russia has continued. In 2020, Canada received more than $1 billion in imports from Russia and delivered more than $600 million in exports, according to data from the International Trade Centre. The ITC’s Trade Map shows Canada’s exports to Russia in 2020 totalled $617 million, a third of which included nuclear reactors, machinery, mechanical appliances, and boilers. Other significant exports were helicopters and airplanes, spacecraft, and agricultural machinery."
