Per BBC, “Russia has expelled two Canadian diplomats working for NATO’s Moscow office in response to an ‘unfriendly act’ by the military alliance.”
The move followed two Russian envoys being expelled from NATO’s headquarters in Brussels last week, allegedly as a result of spying.
Canadian Twitterers were baffled by the news:
