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.

    This is just ridiculous - prosecuting Yaroslavl Hunka makes sense, as he himself was a part of a nazzi military outpost.

    Prosecuting or using it as a political tool against Chrystia Freeland makes absolutely no sense as it was her grandfather (!) who was at involved in the nazzi business.

    Blame granddaughter for grandfather’s sins…

    I don’t know what’s going on politically in Canada, but this is just pathetic in my opinion.

    Edit:

    Michael Chomiak, Freeland’s maternal grandfather whom she’s repeatedly cited as a political inspiration

    The link to her essay mentions her grandfather a couple of times, but never “cites as a political inspiration”. Just to give a historical context.

    Terrible piece of journalism

      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.
