Derek R. T. Fraser, Canada's Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador
to Ukraine, recently began his work in Ukraine. In introducing himself,
he jokingly explains that he is from Canada's Transcarpathia, Vancouver,
British Columbia. Ukraine's long partnership with and interest in Ukraine
is explained by the human factor: one million ethnic Ukrainians live in
Canada. And Ukraine's natural resources and congenial climate reinforce
that interest. Why did Jean Cretien refuse to visit Russia and decided
to come to Ukraine instead? Will the Canadian government apologize to Canadians
of Ukrainian origin for sending them to concentration camps during World
War I? Canada's Ambassador answered these and many other questions in his
interview with The Day. Read it in our next issue.
