Offline lkjohnson1950

Ferrari makes big donation to Ukraine relief efforts, suspends deliveries to Russia. Other manufacturers shut down Russian factories.

Good.
We all need to stop purchasing anything from Russia.
Make a statement with your buying power, that is way of this world now.

About the only things Canada gets from Russia is hockey players crude oil and hockey players, and we already have our own for both.

Aviation companies are also cutting off shipments and even tech support to Russia:

Even China has cut them off:

China is being blamed for providing low quality 'knock off' tires for the stalled convoy.  On top of Russia not being able to actually pay for anything, it's not a surprise that China would cut them off.

Nestle is business as usual in Russia, not surprising.  That and the fact that the banks are taking their sweet time locking down Russian accounts (allowing keen Swiss bankers the time they need to protect or transfer the funds).  There are rumours that over $200billion of Oligarch money is in Swiss banks. 

It's all very embarrassing to a country that has actually jumped down from the fence in this case.

There is a line we have to figure out.  There are innocent citizens in Russia who don't deserve to starve to death.  I don't know what their domestic food supply looks like, but if Nestle just vanished in Canada, there would be a lot of dead babies while someone else moves to fill the void.
