In a video posted to Facebook by a Russian LGBTQ group, Canada's ambassador to Russia also addressed the constitutional amendment that's on the table. Alison LeClaire suggested a "yes" vote would lead to a "less inclusive" situation for members of the nations' LGBTQ community.

On Monday, one of Russia's most influential talk shows on state television, 60 Minutes, played the video and ripped into LeClaire accusing her — and Canada's government — of political interference.
"She will burn in hell," said an irate Pyotr Tolstoy, a deputy speaker and member of the Putin-friendly United Russia party in Russia's parliament during the show.
He then launched into a personal attack on LeClaire.
