Ukraine has given Saskatchewan and Canada honest, hard\u002Dworking people who have made this province better. They\u0027d taught us freedom.
For all, it should be a reminder that the world is not a safe place for some. Like many places in the world, Ukraine has never had the luxury of the prolonged peace and freedom we take for granted in North America

Because our grandfathers 80 years ago paid dearly for our freedom and for that of others, freedom in modern-day North America has never been in question.made to not get vaccinated and help stop the spread of a virus. They are dishonouring the graves of those who paid so dearly. It is why those who have joined Donald Trump and the U.S. right’s sycophantic worship of Vladimir Putin need to turn off Fox News and similar right-wing echo chambers.
An estimated one in 10 Saskatchewan people has some Ukrainian heritage. I am one. More than a century ago, my family sought opportunity on the Canadian Prairie. They willingly endured the harsh climate and economic realities because Canada’s promises of opportunity, peace and freedom were better than anything their families had ever known.
