I think that the general way in which Russia tries to create repercussions is by singling out individual countries. In this particular case, everybody—and when I say everybody, I mean just the western world, because India and Brazil aren't involved—has been involved on a combined basis—every country in Europe, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, the United States—and so I don't see how Russia, on an economic basis, can respond to any of this stuff.
I think we absolutely should be expecting Russia to be doing what they've always done, which is trying to manipulate the political processes in all of our countries. Professor Mendes mentioned interference, hacking and so on and so forth. We should absolutely expect that and be prepared for that, and hopefully have countermeasures to deal with that.
We should absolutely expect that they will try to send out assassins and do other terrible things, like we heard about in Berlin and other places. I think that there probably needs to be tight and thoughtful security of Russians coming into Canada.
As I mentioned in my opening remarks, they've weaponized the price of wheat, oil and gas. Wheat is a particularly important one. This is something that I think is very important to put on the front table, which is that our military—and by “our”, I mean allies—should make sure that Ukraine is able to export wheat and protect any boats that leave ports in Ukraine. If Russia attacks that, it could create a food crisis which could have unbelievable consequences around the world.
