"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.

Today is the day of the last perogy sale of the season so I headed down to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church this afternoon. We are spoiled for perogy (perogi) choice in this town, but I think this is one of the better places to stock up. #Saskatoon #perogies #woodcarving

Martha Stewart, while making perogies:

"The best thing about my honeymoon in Paris was getting this rolling pin."

Ouch!

I've always been a fan of #MichelleRodriguez bit #DungeonsAndDragons has Michelle Rodriguez AND POTATOES!

I can't control myself. I either need a badass sexy warrior beside me or a steaming hot plate of #Latkes. Or #Perogies. Or #HashBrowns, #HomeFries, #FrenchFries, #PotatoSalad, #MashedPotatoes, #TwiceBakedPotatoes, #HasselbackPotates, #1000LayerPotatoes, #WarmGermanPotatoSalad, #Poutine, or even a raw #Potato.

Or a raw turnip. I don't know why.

I am what I am (although I'm up to be yam).
