I don't think so, people who experienced violence in Winnipeg say the gangsters would use style of hair or anything else to start beating people.
This came up during the trial and judge agreed that it was not hate crime since they did not know the victims were Ukranians before approving them.
There was another attack on Ukranians at "the Forks", were the guys who stubbed them were late heard mocking what they were saying "I am from Ukraine"
I am pretty shocked how violent Winnipeg is. Seeing CBC headlines "Safe in Winnipeg, these Ukrainians still hold out hope for the war at home", and then reading multiple news about these Ukranians falling victims to violent crime makes me wonder if they should have stayed in Poland or Ukraine...
Parts of Winnipeg have always been shit. I spent 20 years there growing up and north of Ellice was always terrible.
Homicide rate in Winnipeg is 5/100k: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=3510007101&pickMembers%5B0%5D=2.2&cubeTimeFrame.startYear=2020&cubeTimeFrame.endYear=2023&referencePeriods=20200101%2C20230101
Definitely much worse than being in Poland, where the rate is 0.68, one of the lowest in Europe.
