Tomorrow at 2:00PM, the Russian community of Winnipeg obtained a permit to have a parade in downtown Winnipeg, to the Legislature, to "Celebrate the Russian victory over the Nazis in World War II." Strange, since they have never had a parade in Winnipeg before celebrating the event. It's also strange that they plan to give everyone marching pro-Russian separatist black and orange cloths, for those in support the Russians in the Ukraine.
A very bold move, considering in Winnipeg, ethnic Ukrainians outnumber ethnic Russians by more than 5 to 1. Would not be the least bit surprised if demonstrators tried to disrupt the parade. also of note, the Winnipeg Police Service, who issues permits for parades, has a policy of announcing them publicly on their website. For the first time in recent memory, they made no mention of this parade.
