Jeff Leal and Michael Chan are taking the Russian sanctions in stride.
The province’s ministers of agriculture and trade say the ban on Canadian pork by Vladimir Putin’s regime is disappointing.

The sanctions are retaliation for sanctions Ottawa imposed on Russia in relation to the ongoing tensions in Ukraine.
