No, not a bad experience per se, but more an overall feeling that you're not welcome and received well by the locals. Also the feeling that being a foreigner is not a novelty but quite the opposite it works against you (e.g. Girls try to avoid you in the street instead of checking you out).
Why would you expect a warm welcome from the locals when every year there's millions of Middle Eastern men acting in sleazy ways in Ukraine. The reputation is warranted and has been earned. You may be a Canadian citizen but your constitution is Middle Eastern. Why is this so difficult to comprehend.
If you're still perplexed I suggest reading through the hundreds of pages in this thread, you'll see the issue of the creepy tourists damaging the local's attitudes has been discussed ad infinitum.
