that article is super confusing. the first paragraph reads:

Canada has reversed course after initially blocking a Russian anti-war activist from receiving citizenship because she had run afoul of Moscowโ€™s harsh laws criminalizing dissent over the invasion of Ukraine.

which makes it sound like they allowed her to be a citizen, but the rest of the article is about how it didn't let her.

I think it's been quietly editted or the wrong link was posted. Here's a brand new article from CBC. It seems to be break news.

thank you, at least that clears things up.
