Ukrainian Canadians represent an integral part of the Canadian mosaic and are noted for their hard work; their loyalty to Her Majesty: "The Crown"; and their steadfast faithfulness to a Christian God, while at the same time maintaining their roots and traditions. It was by the "sweat of their brows" that the earliest of the pioneer families who first arrived and settled in 1891 on the Western Canadian Prairies, then the NW Territories, and began to build their lives, families, churches and develop what are now the three Prairie Provinces of Canada, namely, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Some of these Pioneers made their way to our District via the steel mills of Pittsburgh.One such family was the Author's Polish Great Grandfather who "tooled up" a blacksmith shop at his farmstead. The grandfathers came directly from the Ternopil District, Galicia, Austria-Hungary and started at "zero." Some of the second generation were able to attend College came to educate the third generation. Money was sparse during the Great Depression, with few of the second generation progressing through secondary schooling; most through marriage with a few more of the third generation attending University. A Century of Ukrainian Life in Canada was celebrated in 1991. This book is the story of the third generation, which was and is the Author's generation and times. It is a story of a nephew, a grandson, and a son with no prairie land base who had as his one gift a self-financed University education and enabled by the second generation who were by then spread out across Canada and the United States of America and thus his stepping stones.In the end what he did earn and achieve was taken from him, his career, his home, his one precious daughter. He returned to his home Province, Saskatchewan, alone. Although this is a personal story, the key focus is the National Energy Board of the 1970s; the National Energy program of the 1980s; the Canadian Constitution, Repatriation, (1982), and the Meach Lake and Charlottetown Accords of the 1980s respecting Canadian national unity goals; relationships between certain of the Canadian Prime Ministers and United States Presidents; and the 21st Century turmoil in the Middle East; the ongoing world drama which in the Author's opinion is the last generation of the Church Age, two thousand years since the Lord was crucified, which will certainly culminate in the promised return of the Messiah, Lord Jesus Christ as "King of Kings" and the banishment of Lucifer/Satan as the "god of this world" who usurped authority 6000 years ago, in well known events that took place in the Garden of Eden, when he fooled Eve with his lies. This book is one man's journey towards redemption and salvation in the journey of life."
