Russia: How about starting a war?
Canada: You are already in the middle of a war!
Russia: Yes, but what about a second war? Proxy war? Special military operation?
Belarus: Comrade, I don't think Canada knows about a special military operation.
That's not really what a threat to sever relations means. It would be talking about not having any formal diplomatic relations. All of the embassies and consulates each has in the other country would be closed. Diplomatic representatives would be required to exit the respective countries. The Russian foreign ministry would not communicate directly with the Canadian foreign ministry; they'd find some sort of proxy country to act for them.
The US doesn't have diplomatic relations with a few countries like North Korea. We entrust, as I recall, Sweden to speak for us in North Korea.
googles
Yeah.

The United States and the DPRK do not have diplomatic relations. The Swedish Embassy in the DPRK is the U.S. protecting power and provides limited consular services to U.S. citizens. The DPRK has no embassy in Washington, DC, but it is represented in the United States through its mission to the United Nations in New York.
That being said, Russia issues threats like crazy and doesn't follow through on a lot of them, so I don't know how seriously one should take this.
Oh no..... Anyway...
I’m sure Canada is devastated by the news.
I mean... imagine severing ties with a petty and greedy loudmouth bully that generates environmental and humanitarian catastrophes out of sheer spite.
I was so looking forward to this year's Canada-Russia picnic at the north pole.
Canada has a huge Ukrainian population, we're staunch allies with the US (who is firmly on Ukraine's side now that the Manchurian Candidate is out of office), and Russia is obviously the aggressor in this war. Of course we're going to side with Ukraine.
Russia's only hope was to convince the world that apathy was easier than getting involved. But they did a shit job of it
Why are Russia angry, it's just a special operation... /s
Meanwhile, Ottawa has yet to follow through on a promise six months ago to try seizing funds it says are held by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich. No application had been filed in any provincial court as of last month.
Mkay, well... Canada better get a move on and pack up their bags to ditch Russia. I'm sure Putin will seize all Canadian assets in their regime whenever they please, just like with other companies.
This is like a high school bully saying they are mad at you.

Good news. Slava Ukraini!
Sad trombone noise...
Russia just says things. I no longer pay attention.
