Talk of anti-Ukrainian harassment on university campuses has spread across Canada in the past week, including in Victoria.
A commentary by a student of Ukrainian-Canadian history, and former vice-president of the UVic Ukrainian Students’ Society.
In its statement, the UVic Ukrainian Students’ Society accused the local branch of the Young Communist League of Canada as the perpetrator of incidents it claims were harassment. In truth, the Young Communist League’s involvement in what they are blamed for has been limited to political rhetoric, not harassment.
As with any group of people, Ukrainian-Canadians are not uniform. Two organizations, the Association of United Ukrainian Canadians on the left and the Ukrainian Canadian Congress on the right, have dominated the organized parts of this diaspora since the Second World War.
