Re: Goodbye Michael Ignatieff and sadly, Borys Wrzesnewskyj

Oh come on, I don't know of too many jobs where one can openly speak against one's boss... he had not choice, had to go with the party line in this case.
I recently learned that many individuals from Ukrainian diaspora who live in the riding, voted against Borys and even openly campaigned against him!! I find that absolutely appalling. Borys brought many Ukrainian issues/causes to the forefront and now with the democracy and in fact the entire existence of the country at stake, we need someone in the Canadian government who understands these issues more than ever. Why is it that other minorities can get behind their own candidate en masse even if they usually vote for a different party? For example Italian Canadians in Vaughan voting in Conservative Fantino and even when they don't actually need an Italian Canadian candidate because the freedom of their country is hardly an issue. Why can't Ukrainian Canadians? Is it something in our genetic make up? I'm starting to believe what my grandmother always said, that there is a reason, we never really had independence, it is because we've always preferred and found those who were not our own more appealing; and that we were not Russified in the East or Polonized in the West because these cultures were imposed on us, but because we wanted to be. Truly, we don't need the enemies to destroy us, it will be an inside job.

I caught an interview with Borys on Svitohlad where he condescendingly dismissed allegations about Iganitieff's smears against the Ukrainian people.
Borys' primary concern was for Borys not for his Ukrainian ancestors and heritage.
He was truly doing his Count's bidding like the good traitor he was.

Absolutely. Did you see the list I posted? Quite scary. Thank you for your response. I know it was kind of beating a dead horse, since Borys is no longer an incumbent, but just wanted to bring it up.

Peace!

Considering the Conservatives outnumbered Liberals 4-to-1 on that list and now their majority, I think that cause is in more trouble now than ever.

I just wanted to point out that Borys Wrzesnewskyj is highly anti-choice , and I just can't get behind that, despite his shared heritage. I totally appreciate this site, and am sure that you were unaware of that, but just wanted to share, because that is a major human rights issue.

__Voistinu Voskrese!!!

Dorogoj vo Hriste brat!
Spasi Hkristos za otvet!
Ja pochitaju i preklon'jus' pered svetloj pam'ytju velikoj kn'agini

Dear in Christe brother!
Christe is risen!
Indeed has He risen!
I am only trying to learn Serb and can say only:
Boh pomoje, brat!
Boh ti pomohao!
Thank you and let Christe save you for your answer: I praise the memory
of the Gr. Dutchess Olga Alexandrovna! She was a Patriot of my Land, a
outstanding Lady, a great not only talented artist and also a
righetous person! I am very interested in all details. I also praise her
family and pray -Now is -Svetlaja Sedmitza - and in Christe all faithful are
alive! I praise and worship also Tichon Nikolajevich and Gurij
Nikolajevich! They are alive to me!
My mother Ludmila belonged to the noble stock -in 1960-s -Her own mother-my
grandmother died from exghostion and tuberculosis in labour of my dear
mother in Ekaterinburg in 1964 she was a teacher of French-French
phonetics. In 1966 she lost the job by no reason explained;she studied at
Higher courses in StPetersburg at that time leningrad (shame on modern
Russian administration to oficially conservate and restore the region names
such as sverdlovskaja oblast', leningradskaja oblast' and other odious
placenames in Moscow the metro station and streets named after pinhus vainer
-!!! )
Dear brother -to learn more-please visit my livelournal!
I am a volunteer teacher working with Russian children at a pedagogical
centre in Moscow and we tried to invite someone who could lecture to
teachers and children over the Lientz tragedy since in schoolbooks of
history in Russia one can find no truth! I wrote to a famous Dr of
Austrian origin asking him to come as we all teachers and the young long
this but he wrote he needed financing and the sum is not real for us! Fuel
is short if you guess.
I wrote a novel based at Lientz and cossack new history. It was posted in my
lj- just tell I'd look in the archiv if this cn interest you.

Hello,
I read your comments. I agree it is very important for the world to know how the Cossacks were betrayed by the British and the west. I would like to know more about this shameful historical event.
You say you write about Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna Kulikovskaja-Romanova and her late son Tichon Nikolaevich Kulikovsky. What did / do you write about them? The Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna Kulikovskaja-Romanova and her late son Tichon Nokolaevich Kulikovsky lived not far away from where I live in near Toronto Canada. I am Slav. I hope to hear from you.

Re: Canadian Museum for Human Rights won’t have permanent Holodomor or WW1 internment exhibits

Australorp — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 16:15:01 -0000

Why would Ukies want anything to do with such an ugly building regardless of who gets first choice in exhibits? I think that we should have our own Museum, paid for by freely donated money, instead of begging for the privilege of hitching our little wagon to the Aspers' star.

None of this is any worse than the firebombing of Dresden, done just to show them squareheads who's boss.

Re: With Jason Kenney targeting ethnic groups–how genuine is his support for Ukrainian-Canadian causes? (Updated)

Aeolis — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 22:41:24 -0000

All political parties in Canada target ethnic voters. They also target women, immigrants, the rich, the poor, seniors, etc. The word 'target' in this context means to 'focus on' or to 'try to attract.'

Is there solid proof that they "raped" and were expecially brutal? That sounds like Communist propaganda to me -- to "justify" the murders.

Stalin is not a tyrant???? What a joke. That is why my relatives were sent to Siberia, for years. Sent off their land and half starved...... There is other ways to take people with peasant backward ways and move them into the future. It's with love and direction. Not brutality. That's just pure evil,.
