Ukrainian-Canadian bakery in Toronto targeted for hate crime

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 Putin’s 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 Canada’s 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 Russia’s 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.
