Margaret Atwood is also forbidden from entering the country
Jim Carrey has officially been banned from visiting Russia, alongside 100 other Canadians.
In light of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s support of Ukraine in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, Vladimir Putin has put in place sanctions against the country.
Complex reports that 100 residents of Canada have been affected by the sanctions, including Carrey. The actor is yet to respond publicly to the news.
The list of barred residents includes The Handmaid’s Tale author Margaret Atwood as well as many journalists and politicians, joining Trudeau who had already been banned.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation posted the list on their website, with the announcement reading in Russian: “In response to the ongoing practice of imposing sanctions by the regime of Prime Minister J. Trudeau against the Russian leadership.
“Politicians and parliamentarians, representatives of the business community, experts and journalists, cultural figures, as well as anyone whom the Canadian Russophobic authorities consider objectionable, entry is closed on the basis of reciprocity for 100 Canadian citizens.”
In September, former Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters shared an open letter to Putin, urging him to commit to a ceasefire and diplomatic settlement to end the war.
Addressing Putin directly, Waters asked: “Would you like to see an end to this war? If you were to reply and say, ‘Yes please.’ That would immediately make things a lot easier. If you were to come out and say, ‘Also the Russian Federation has no further territorial interest beyond the security of the Russian speaking populations of The Crimea, Donetsk and Lubansk [sic].’ That would help too.”
Waters went on to address the notion that Putin and his forces “want to overrun the whole of Europe, starting with Poland and the rest of the Baltic states”. Should that be the case, he continued, “We might as well all stop playing the desperately dangerous game of nuclear chicken that the hawks on both sides of the Atlantic seem so comfortable with, and have at it. Yup, just blow each other and the world to smithereens.”
Jim Carrey is a freakazoid and it’s full blown mental illness since his TDS set in.
Whatever happened to that one woman basketball player, whose name I can’t remember? Is she still in the gulag for bringing some kind of cannabis into the country?
I think all his movies were incredibly stupid. Not very funny at all. The one movie of his I liked was Dumb & Dumber but the bigger guy with the blonde hair was the much funnier one in my opinion.
And Jennifer Granholm.
We will bomb The Arquettes...
I don’t blame Poohty. Carrey’s “movies” really suck.
“Eternal Sunshine” was great. The rest suck.
Great Britain has a long list of banned conservatives.
Yes, and just recently she was transferred to a hard labor
unit.
If she serves the full ten years, it will some like 10,000 to
her.
Time will pass very slowly.
I wish she hadn’t opened herself up to this.
No, you are not.
Margaret Atwood and Jim Carrey? Can we ban them too?
You want to ban Atwood, because she’s transphobic?
Amazing! I thought Russia was his home away from home. He belongs back in Canada.
“...the notion that Putin and his forces “want to overrun the whole of Europe...”
Why? They already control it though petroleum and finances alone. They don’t have to spend much to do that.

Russia controls Europe by finances? Do you have any proof of that crazy contention? Why does Russia have a lower standard of living and life expectancy?
At this point, that ban doesn’t register as much of a hardship.
That’s the difference between a canoe and a Canuck. Canoes tip.
