LONDON, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Russia on Monday barred entry
to 100 Canadians in retaliation for Ottawa's exclusion of
Russian citizens, the latest wave of a long series of
tit-for-tat expulsions from Russia and Western countries over
Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
    The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the
Canadians added to its sanctions list included officials,
business leaders and people involved with "media and financial
structures that are directly involved in the formation of an
aggressive anti-Russian course".
    The list included Danielle Smith, premier of the province of
Alberta, managers at Volatus Aerospace Corp  VOL.V , a handful
of correspondents at the public broadcaster CBC and several
members of the Canada-Ukraine Foundation as well as other
politicians, commentators, industrialists and activists.
