Ukrainian Canadian Congress pushes Ottawa to ban Soviet hammer and sickle symbol

The Ukrainian Canadian Congress is urging Parliament to outlaw public displays of the Soviet hammer and sickle, arguing the Communist emblem should be treated as a hate symbol alongside Nazi and terrorist insignia already targeted in federal legislation.

In submissions to the Senate human rights committee, the Congress said the symbol continues to represent both historic atrocities committed under the Soviet Union and modern-day Russian aggression against Ukraine.

I get it but half of Ottawa probably longs for the return of the Soviet Inion.
