I can't help but wonder if this is part of the "Terror Convoy" actions. Makes my heart hurt.
The Ukrainian Canadian community is appalled by the hate crime that targeted a Ukrainian-owned business in Toronto. Future Bakery, which displayed a #StandWithUkraine banner to show solidarity with the Ukrainian people, was defaced under cover of night by cowards who support Russian president Putins kleptocratic, criminal regime. Among other defacements, the phrases F*ck Ukrian (sic) and Canada were spray painted on the sign.
The owner of Future Bakery, Mr. Borys Wrzesnewskyj, is a former member of Canadas Parliament, a prominent community activist and leader, who has worked tirelessly for many years on defending those whose human rights have been violated as a result of Russias invasion of Ukraine, including the Indigenous Crimean Tatar People. Mr. Wrzesnewskyj and the Ukrainian Canadian community have previously been the targets of Russian state-led disinformation campaigns.

White supremacy groups in US have been aligning with Russia openly for the last decade. They see Putin as their savior.

I am asking because I don't know.
