RE:ConnectionsIf things are brewing on the state level vis-a-vis Russia, it's much more likely that there would be no news. If there was nothing going on, a public company would be wailing to the Canadian govt and news agencies explaining how it's rightfully Canadian money due to expropriation. Remember Rusoro's not selling anything to Venezuela, it's simply taking payment for something already taken long before the sanctions. However if you're talking about possible cooperation or funding with world governments it's best not to make waves.
