    A statement issued by Prime Minister Stephen Harper after an emergency Cabinet meeting says Canada also is pulling out of the Group of Eight process being chaired by Russia for an international economic summit in June.

    Harper strongly condemns Russia’s military intervention in Ukraine and urges President Vladimir Putin to withdraw his troops.

    International pressure is growing on Russia after its troops took over the strategic Crimea region Saturday. Russia’s parliament granted Putin authority to use the military to protect Russian interests in Ukraine, where a new government has been named after demonstrations pushed President Viktor Yanukovych from office.

    President Barack Obama, U.N. Security Council members and others are asking Russia to de-escalate tensions.

    Sounds like our Commander in Chief needs a well deserved vacation. He hasn’t been to Hawaii in several weeks. Putin must be losing a lot of sleep wondering what our fearless leader will threaten.
