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.

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?

Haven't you heard? Everyone on Lemmy who goes challenges the narrative, or asks open minded questions is branded a fascist and a Nazi.

Don't expect civil discussion here my friend.
