  1. "Why do you say Saskatchewan has a deep connection to Ukraine?"

    History. The last time a sociopathic Russian dictator decided to murder millions of Ukrainians, many emigrated to escape starvation [1], and many thousands of them came to Saskatchewan. [2] Something like 1 in 7 Saskatchewan residents has Ukrainian heritage.

    "But that's old history - it can't possibly show up in modern life!"

    You're wrong. There are places in this province where it is - or was, fairly recently - common to hear #Ukrainian spoken in public. Ukrainian Orthodox churches are common. There are thriving cultural associations. The Ukrainian pavilion at our local annual multicultural festival is one of the biggest in the whole event. In my city, there's a co-operative Ukrainian grocery shop and butcher that is hugely popular with all, Ukrainian or not. You can drive through residential neighbourhoods and identify homes where Ukrainian descendants live because they keep certain distinctive traditions alive with their houses. You can find Ukrainian farmer #sausage and perogies in any grocery store, and in many (non-Ukrainian) restaurants.

    We have a perogies & borscht place in a shopping mall food court, even.

    We stand with Ukraine.

    Slava Ukraini.

    [1] The Holodomor. Saskatchewan was one of the first jurisdictions to formally recognize it as a genocide.

    [2] The fact that it's happening again is horrific.

    "Puff piece" reporting by the NY Times to boost the narrative of "oh those poor farmers" is insidious and reminded me of the TImes' lack of journalism for the
    //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor -- a Russia induced famine in Ukraine in the 1930s that killed millions.

  3. I would like to remind you that USA is currently inflicting a holodomor of it's own on Cuba.

    Trump is not yet as bloody as Stalin, but he's pulling in the same direction, shadowing him every day.

  5. "Of course Stalin didn't perform genocide! But also, the Poles, Finns, Koreans, Crimean Tatars, Ukrainians, Baltic nations, and Central Asian peoples had it coming!"

  6. When the international food system collapses -- and I agree with George, this is now more or less inevitable -- it will be impossible to feed cities. There won't be enough #food.

    Most rural areas, especially if sparsely populated, will still be able to feed themselves, but without surplus to export.

    Of course, what normally happens in such circumstance is that armed men seize food from rural areas and transport it to cities, where it isn't sufficient, so everyone starves.

  7. The effects of Elon Musk's Holodomor. *This* is what he should be remembered for in the history books:

  8. @EuromaidanPress

    You would think Europe would be more caring
    about their main BREADBASKET ?

    When Russia was stealing grain ships and destroying farming in Ukraine over a year ago, that was an act of global war.

  9. Energieversorgung in der Ukraine: Vergesst uns nicht | taz.de
    taz.de/Energieversorgung-in-de Man sollte sich eine einfache Sache vor Augen halten: Das russische Vorgehen erinnert an den Holodomor [eine 1932/1933 von Josef Stalin initiierte Hungersnot, der schätzungweise drei bis sieben Millionen Ukrainer zum Opfer fielen, Anm. d. Red.]. #ukraine #Ukrainekrieg #holodomor
