The grandfather of Chrystia Freeland, Canada’s deputy prime minister, worked for a Nazi newspaper that recruited for the Galicia Division of the Waffen-SS — the same division as Yaroslav Hunka, the Nazi who was recently honored by Canada’s Parliament.

    All nazi apologists and revisionists should read

    Canada’s Future Prime Minister Needs to Come Clean About Her Nazi Collaborationist Grandfather. Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland’s electoral base is in Canada’s Ukrainian diaspora community, which has rebranded Nazi collaborators as nationalist war heroes.

      Are you trying to imply I’m a nazi apologist for simply refusing to punish anyone for the crime they did not commit?

      What if you grandfather was a rapist - would you find it necessary for yourself to go around, admit that your grandfather was a rapist, apologies for this and suffer consequences?

      Anyone who worked for or supported Nazis should suffer the consequences. She did not.

        If you say a Nazi is one of your biggest inspirations you are not fit for political office anywhere in the world. Full stop.

          100% agree - but when did she say that?
