Hello again
I agree that status law would be a better approach than autonomy. I have witnessed in Canada examples of autonomy, and can easily say that a lot of the end results of establishing such a landmark decision as giving a people autonomy has extreme restraints due to the long-term nature of such a thing as cultural autonomy. Two examples are the french in Canada (who I actually like, apart from the very arrogant leaders of the Parti Quebecois), and the native (or Indian) population. There has been huge problems and conflicts between the majority representing government, and the minority french and natives. The benefits of the flexiblity of status law, as compared to such a provision as autonomy is huge. I question sometimes why Canada did not do this from the start (although treaties given to natives are similar to status law in many ways).
As for the Stockholm Syndrome, yes you are correct, the Russians are the Sadistic captors, and us the abused Ukrainians. Some Ukrainians seem to take a liking to the beatings ie the ones from ODESSA, but the REAL Ukies (the ones with the Cossack spirit) from the north, and especially the west, won't stand for it!!
Anyway I think "honourary" dual citizenship for Ukrainian Canadians would be a beautiful thing. It would allow more people to discover this amazing thing that is Ukrayina! As for dual citizenship for pro Russian - Ukrainians would create a negative effect on the nation, and create a larger rift. In other words I have no sympathy for the pro Russian in Ukraine. None. If they would like, they can be shipped to work camps in Siberia. It would be a very "Russian" experience.
I'll give the status law thing in Canada more thought, and post again some other time.
Seeya!
