Description: Soo being Russian means you can be sanctioned and have your seized property sold 'because.' Opens a very bad precedent. Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly says she supports the “intent” of a bill from an independent senator to confiscate seized Russian assets even though the government’s version of such a law differs in one key area. On Thursday, it appeared Canada may have ticked one G7 member off its list – the United States – as President Joe Biden asked Congress for new power to seize and repurpose Russian assets that have been frozen by sanctions. “Congratulations, you’ve stepped forward on the global stage as the leader in this,” Omidvar told Joly. “And already President Biden has signalled his intent to follow suit. And I wish you luck with persuading your other G7 partners to do so too.”
