The Liberal Party, aware that the Ukrainians were no longer allied with Archbishop Langevin and the Roman Catholics who happened to be aligned with the Conservative Party, stepped forward and funded the very first Ukrainian language newspaper in Canada, Kanadiskyi Farmer (The Canadian Farmer), of which the first editor was none other than Ivan Negrich.
Liberálna strana, vedomá si toho, že Ukrajinci neboli už spojencami arcibiskupa Langevina a rímskych katolíkov, ktorí boli spojení s Konzervatívnou stranou, financovala prvé ukrajinské noviny v Kanade, “Kanadiskyi Farmer”, ktorých prvým šéfredaktorom nebol nik iný než Ivan Negrič.
