PM Carney Says Canada Is Refusing Visas to Russian and Belarusian Hockey Players for the World Juniors Next Month

‘There would be none of those athletes competing for their countries in Canada’

EXCERPT:

CARNEY: “We respect the decisions of the Finns, the Czechs, the other nations, but this is a decision we take on our own, which is we will deny -- well, Russia and Belarus are supporting this illegal, unjustified, horrific war in Ukraine as long as that's going on, there will be none of those athletes competing for their countries in Canada. So if you're asking specifically about the World Juniors, the Russians will not be there.”
