Chrystia Freeland’s grandfather was a Nazi propagandist, a fact she tried to hide from the public.
The Deputy Prime Minister of Canada has close family ties to the Nazis. Freeland knew for over two decades that her Ukrainian grandfather was the editor of a Nazi propaganda rag in occupied Poland. The paper was extremely anti-Semitic; it vilified Jewish people.
When the allegations first came to light, Freeland lied to Canadians, stating it was “Russian disinformation.” However, the claims proved to be accurate, and have been corroborated by multiple outlets including the Globe and Mail.
Michael Chomiak, Freeland’s grandfather, wrote for the outlet Krakivski Visti aka Krakow News. The operation used printing presses and offices stolen from a Jewish publisher. The Jewish publisher was later murdered at the Belzec concentration camp.
Ms. Freeland has been an outspoken critic of Russia’s annexation of Crimea, and the recent war in Ukraine.

There are many reasons to dump Chrystia Freeland into the dustbin of arrogant but feckless politicians. The fact that her grandfather wrote anti Jewish propaganda for a pro-Nazi newspaper in Poland during WWII is not one of those reasons. She wasn’t even born when all of this was happening. No one can be held accountable for the sins of their ancestors.

The point is she deliberately lied about it being Russian propaganda to hide it from the public.
There’s many reasons her and a lot of Trudeau’s liberals should step down. One of the reason being constant lies, another one is them going absolutely nuts against unvaccinated people and stripping people of their rights during Covid.

OK. Should the suggestion that current Canadians owe First Nations people our souls because of schools for children also be ludicrous?

Canada protected the Nazis from international prosecutions. We should not forget that Nazis were allowed to emigrate to Canada (among other countries) before the first Jew was allowed to enter the Dominion.
We should not forget that we owe the existence of the Mount Sinai Hospital to Jewish physicians who could not practice in provincial hospitals so they decide to open their own hospitals as well as their own social clubs and other sport clubs.
Regarding Freeland maternal grand father Mykhailo (Michael) Khomiak, Poland issued an international arrest warrant twice but Canada refused his extradition to face criminal trial in Poland. Chomiak was also supporting the OUN of Stephan Bandera, the Ukrainian national hero who did collaborate with the Nazis.
