Russian Ambassador Claims Canada to be “Extremely Dangerous” place to visit for Russians

Russian ambassador in Ottawa claimed Canada as an “extremely dangerous” place to travel for Russians.
Oleg Stepanov asserted that racism is a persistent problem in Canada and that the country continues to sanction individuals.
Stepanov stated, “I would not encourage (travelling to Canada) for tourism, education, or business,” in a Russian-language interview last Friday.
The Moscow travel advise for Canada merely cautions against street gangs and a “very tough atmosphere,” he continued, adding that most Canadians treat Russians well.
Stepanov asserted that there is a severe thaw in relations between Ottawa and Moscow and that Russia has been unable to establish a consulate in Vancouver.
