The move followed two Russian envoys being expelled from NATO's headquarters in Brussels last week, allegedly as a result of spying.
Canadian Twitterers were baffled by the news:

How do you expell a Canadian diplomat? Ask them nicely? Insult their hockey team of choice? markmackinnon (Canada/Asia) I know one of those tossed. If he's a spy, I'm a point guard for the LA Lakers. danjl (Montreal, Canada) Russia expels Canadian diplomats; Makes Canadians feel bad-ass. http://tinyurl.com/dyenln lifeonqueen (Toronto, Canada) The diplomatic equivalent of kicking the dog after fight with spouse RT@nytimesworld Russia to Expel CDNs http://bit.ly/47sTC #nato #canada
