Canada imposes more sanctions on Burma

	Canada says its sanctions on Burma are the toughest in the world

Canada has enforced its sanctions against Burma to punish the military regime for the violence crackdown on democracy protestors in September.

"With the new sanctions now in effect, we have the toughest sanctions in the world," said Foreign Minister Maxime Bernier in a statement announcing that the measures, drafted last month, had come into force.

The measures include bans on exports from Canada to Burma except humanitarian goods, and on Canadians' new investment there, and a freeze on assets in Canada of Burmese people linked to the rulers.

It also bans Burmese ships and planes from docking or landing in Canada, and vice versa.
