Canada has sanctioned former Independent and Evening Stand owner Alexander Lebedev - father of the current owner of the papers and former KGB officer.
The Canadian government ordered visa bans and froze assets relating to 15 Russians close to the Kremlin - including Mr Lebedev.
The slew of financial measures also includes import bans for Russian luxury goods such as caviar, and export of Canadian jewelry, art and kitchenware to the pariah nation.
