7 Monday, August 22, 2016 The 102 nd Anniversary of the War Measures Act This is what happened to our people. The War Measures Act, which was in force from 1914 to 1920, allowed the federal government to imprison thousands of Canadians of Ukrainian, German and Slavic descent, considered enemies and a threat to national security. The Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Foundation Tuesday, August 23, 2016 Black Ribbon Day Black Ribbon Day was formally adopted as A Canadian Day of National Remembrance for the Victims of Nazi and Communist Totalitarianism in Europe after a resolution introduced by the Hon. Bob Rae was adopted unanimously by Canada s Parliament in The annual event recalls the signing of the 1939 friendship treaty between Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia, which is widely recognized as facilitating and triggering the Nazi and Soviet invasion of Poland in September 1939, triggering the start of the Second World War. It s important for all Canadians to recognize the terror and suffering inflicted upon millions of Europeans during the last century under Nazi, Soviet and Communist regimes, said organizer and President of the Estonian Central Council in Canada, Marcus Kolga. Its historical importance has grown as the Putin regime aggressively ramps up its efforts to whitewash this sinister history and the specter of radical right wing xenophobia continues to rise on the European continent. Black Ribbon Day was organized in the 1980 s by members of the Central and Eastern European communities in Canada to protest the ongoing Communist occupation of Central and Eastern European states. The movement spread to the United States,

8 Europe and other countries around the world. Black Ribbon Day was established 30 years ago, explained Black Ribbon Day co-founder, Markus Hess. The signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop friendship pact between Hitler and Stalin unleashed terror across Europe and Black Ribbon Day ensures that we never forget that fact. #FreeUkraine25 On youtube & Facebook August 24, 1991 Singing of the Ukrainian national anthem by groups from around the world to mark the upcoming 25th anniversary of Ukraine s independence!
