Didn't Canada expel and revoke the citizenship of a hundred year old Nazi that had been living there for decades? If so, can't they just do that again?

It's been a week for this guy. Went from being applauded for being a nazi to steps being taken to hold him accountable for his crimes.^[https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/yaroslav-hunka-poland-minister-extradite-1.6978266]

But our institutions need to find the rest of them to hold them accountable.

I mean, even if he gets deported all the way to the front lines he still got away with naziing for decades so....yikes

I think the real question is how many nazis there are in Canada and why the Canadian government won't release this information to the public.

@yogthos @OprahsedCreature
Likely because majority of the government is occupied by them.

What should he be prosecuted for exactly? This very article says that membership in the division, which was separate from the rest of the SS, was not in itself a war crime. I’ve not heard anybody claim that this guy in particular committed any crimes.

I do agree the results of the commission should be made public, and if that reveals crimes that weren’t prosecuted then we should do so.

You're seriously trying to pretend that somebody who volunteered for this division isn't a war criminal. That's quite the hill you picked there buddy http://espritdecorps.ca/history-feature/whitewashing-the-ss-the-attempt-to-re-write-the-history-of-hitlers-collaborators
