TORONTO, March 4 (Reuters) – Canada’s main stock index

opened higher on Tuesday, driven by gains in almost every major

sector, after comments from Russian President Vladimir Putin

helped ease concerns about an imminent military conflict in the

region.

The Toronto Stock Exchange’s S&P;/TSX composite index

was up 41.15 points, or 0.29 percent, at 14,253.89

shortly after the open.
