Talk:Canada–Ukraine relations

Kyiv / Kiev
This page should use the WP standard. Until the main article moves from Kiev to Kyiv, that means using Kiev allthough many Ukrainian-Canadian (including myself) may not like it. I will revert the recent change back to Kiev. --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 03:49, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Summary of needed cleanup Sept 2023
This article needs a fair bit of cleanup. Stylistically, it's all over the place, and doesn't feel like it comes from a single voice, much less an encyclopedic one. In several places it emphasizes critiques of particular prime ministerial tenures in a way that puts too much emphasis on domestic politics. I could see a version of this article that used the tenures of various governments as section headers, if they would be useful dividing points for Canada-Ukraine relations, but as it is there are too many asides about which party did what.

On that note, the article also needs to be reorganized and restructured. Right now it reads like several lists of events divided into rough topic areas, which have a lot of overlap. A more narrative structure would probably be helpful. My instinct is to, as I suggested above, divide it into eras, with the seperating points either being the starts of new Ukrainian or Canadian governments, or shifts around.

There should probably be at least some discussion of the development of Ukrainian culture and nationalism within Canada from the era before Ukraine's independance, which contributed both to Ukraine's current national identity as well as Canada's current close relationship with Ukraine.

Finally, please, we don't need to relink and reintroduce a person every single time name is mentioned, the first time will do fine. Handpigdad (talk) 22:52, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

The Hunka ovation has a long prehistory
Many mentioned imigrants were radical Ukrainian nationalists, who created and published their version of history. Xx236 (talk) 07:16, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
