Black Ribbon Day effectively constitutes a collaboration between anti-communist Nazis and collaborators imported into Canada as "refugees" post WW2, and the capitalist ruling class who appreciates their fervent opposition to pro-social communist activism and agitation.
Since 2009, in Canada, both Liberals and Conservatives have been trying to make "Black Ribbon Day" a thing.
The August 23rd remembrance attempts to draw an equivalence between the Holocaust and "the crimes of Communism".

"Nazi hunter" Steve Ramban points out that "between 2,000 and 5,000 war criminals fled to Canada after the Second World War, but not one Nazi has ever been successfully prosecuted in this country". https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/na0623-nazis
The Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals in Canada, established in 1985, toothlessly probed the matter and did the absolute minimum in response to its findings.

Black Ribbon Day is quite literally Nazi propaganda, and constitutes a form of Holocaust denialism, as it reframes it as only one among many 20th century atrocities, falsely asserting that it was 1) comparable and 2) relatively small by death count.
For example,
For example,
The movement is pushed by the same lobby that pushes for Nazi monuments in e.g. Ottawa and Oakville. https://www.thenation.com/article/world/canada-nazi-monuments-antisemitism/
One of the most prominent pushers of this movement is Chrystia Freeland, who during Justin Trudeau's tenure as PM, has held the roles of 1) Minister of Foreign Affairs, 2) Deputy Prime Minister, 3) Minister of Finance.
Her grandfather Michael Chomiak was quite literally a Ukrainian Nazi collaborator who repurposed stolen jewish presses to publish Nazi propaganda. https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/chrystia-freelands-granddad-was-indeed-a-nazi-collaborator-so-much-for-russian-disinformation/
Chrystia Freeland often trolls people who know this fact by speaking glowingly about how "our grandparents" were the "greatest generation".
Curiously, the USA heralded her rise in government as "Canada Adopts America First Foreign Policy". https://thegrayzone.com/2019/07/05/canada-adopts-america-first-foreign-policy-us-state-department-chrystia-freeland/
This is of course deeply intertwined with the US project of turning Ukraine into a NATO outpost in eastern Europe, supervising and promoting the rise of extremely overt anti-semitism. https://twitter.com/edolinsky/status/1297182857891373056
This is also visible in how the US, Canada, and Ukraine voted "No" on a UN resolution to condemn Nazism.

This was justified in terms of "free speech", and the demand of an equally strong condemnation of "Stalinism".
This is part of the ongoing propaganda project of erasing the Soviet victory over the Nazis in WW2.

Americans and Brits, not content with stealing credit, go on to portray the mortal enemies as collaborators, against factual evidence. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/3223834/Stalin-planned-to-send-a-million-troops-to-stop-Hitler-if-Britain-and-France-agreed-pact.html

I hope people start pushing back against this grotesque project in a major way!
