It just doesn’t stop, does it?

"Mr. Savaryn was a leading Progressive Conservative in Alberta and prominent member of Edmonton’s Ukrainian community who championed multiculturalism and played a key role in establishing schools with Ukrainian-language instruction. He also set up the Edmonton branch of the Ukrainian scout group Plast, whose participants included Chrystia Freeland, now Deputy Prime Minister.

In a 2013 interview with the newspaper Ukrainian Weekly, Ms. Freeland recalled attending the youth group there. “Plast was a very important part of my life growing up,” she said. “I grew up in a Ukrainian community and was active in Plast.”"

One more damning connection of Freeland to her family’s Nazi past.

    What I got out of this was learning that there was a “Nazis in Canada” investigation (Deschênes Commission) in the 1980s which came up with specific names, and those names have not been declassified to this day. The commission also decided the Galician wasn’t responsible for war crimes, even though other nations had already found the SS as a whole guilty in previous decades.

    Yet most of the criticism detailed on the Wikipedia page is from Nazi apologists who seem to think that the KGB was making some immigrants in Canada look like Nazis when they supposedly weren’t.
