July 6, 2020 (UCC-CA) - OTTAWA. The Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) is saddened by the disgraceful act of vandalism that took place at the site of the Memorial to the Victims of Communism – Canada, a Land of Refuge.
The Memorial to the Victims of Communism is to be a national place of mourning, reflection, contemplation, and remembrance, honouring the millions of innocent victims murdered by Communist regimes throughout the world.
Millions of people, including many Ukrainians, who were subjected to the brutality and inhumanity of Communism, fled to Canada – where they found liberty and peace. That this sight was desecrated through this act of hate is unacceptable and deplorable, and an insult to the hallowed memory of the millions of innocent victims of Communism.
This is a reminder to us all of the need for further education and awareness in our own society about the evil and crimes of Communism.
The vandalized sign has been removed and the UCC National Office has contacted the Ottawa Police Service about this incident. We will update our community and the public when more information is available.

I think the Communist party got 4000 votes last election in Canada...
ReplyDeleteHowever, the current political ideology is unabashedly Marxist and those who's voice is "canceled" today will be imprisoned, tortured and killed if they get power.
ReplyDeleteNever mind the people right now being oppressed. Only future fears count.

The message should have been "True Communism has never been tried!"

DeleteTrue communism reigns in Hell where it is mandatory
DeleteUnknown: true Biblical government has never been tried either nor true monarchy nor true democracy. But of those four types of government communism is by far the worst alternative as it has at it's core a revolt against God. That principle is seen clearly in the Bible when Our Lord casts out Legion and they say "What have we to do with Thee?"
ReplyDeleteThat the political culture is embracing Marxism is indicative of the fact that we have forgotten God.
We deserve a straight forward Godless government. We have had defacto Godless government for centuries so why not the real thing?
May our Lord have mercy and forgive our (my) cowardice.
Communist governments win local elections in the state of Kerala, India. Can't testify to the type or version they use, but the state is religiously diverse - 19% Christian (Mainly Catholic and Orthodox), 24% Muslim and 54% Hindu. The key it seems, to Communism being effective, is having an alternative moderating force to balance it out.
