I'm afraid you're right. Canada seems to be afraid of offending Russia!
And THAT's our Conservitive government!!!

That's certainly the no 1 problem. Sure, Canada has worked hard to get good bilateral trade agreements with other countries, including Russia, but when it comes to that country, there is a heavy price to pay for gains. Russia always has a nasty habit of getting some good international teamwork going, then causing a major headache somewhere to see how the same players react, and on that basis judge fairly accurately how much leeway they possess with forward political strategy. Unfortunately Canada doesn't see it that way, and will take the bait thus falling victim to Russia's powerful tentacles.

I think in this case the lack of Canadian response has more to do with Quebec than Russia. It's widely anticipated that Canada will eventually support Kosovo but will wait until ~130 countries or so have supported them.
