Ukrainian students are facing an increase in anti-Ukrainian hate symbols and harassment on Canadian university campuses, student clubs say.
In an open letter published last Thursday, the Carleton Ukrainian Students’ Club described several incidents of anti-Ukrainian harassment that have taken place on the university’s campus since September 2022, including multiple reports of hate graffiti, an allegation of verbal harassment and an on-campus panel discussion which the club views as pro-Russian.
… In its own open letter, the University of Victoria Ukrainian Students’ Society alleged that some of its members were verbally accosted on campus and one member’s property was defaced with the word “Nazi.”
The club also said that members of the Young Communist League of Canada, another ratified club at the university, accused Ukrainian students of supporting fascism and antisemitism in a Facebook post.
What a surprise that the Young Communist league is involved in much of this. Where does that put the NDP?
