Canada Cares More About Theoretical Nazis Than Real Ones (Part 2 of 2)
Canada’s Ongoing Reluctance to Investigate Nazi Collaborators
This newsletter is in two parts. For part one regarding the history of Canada’s reluctance regarding the same subject, please see here first. This newsletter is about contemporary concerns regarding Canada’s reluctance to address Nazism in Ukraine.
Contemporary Concerns
Canada’s refusal to discuss Nazism at home and in Ukraine since the end of WWII, and consistent framing of this subject as “Soviet/Russian propaganda,” has had extremely damaging consequences. Not only is the war in Ukraine an unnecessary proxy war for which Canadians have provided tons of funding, but Canada’s own media has acknowledged that Canada has provided military training for neo-Nazi paramilitary groups in Ukraine prior to Russia’s invasion in 2022.
The unwillingness to discuss Ukrainian Nazi history under the guise of “standing against Russian misinformation” and “protecting Ukrainians that suffered at the hands of the Soviet Union” is initially understandable until you realize no evidence has been offered to explain why this is misinformation, and that this policy has in actuality resulted in the deaths of thousands of Ukrainians. The government’s insistence on this framing has interfered with Canadians’ ability to comprehend that our funding is not going to a war where we are simply defending an innocent victim from an aggressor. This lack of transparency also means that Europe and Commonwealth countries continue to push for an extension to the war in Ukraine, which will not only kill more Ukrainians, but also Russians and whoever else gets dragged into the fighting. At the rate we are going, this could eventually include other Europeans, and potentially citizens from Canada itself.
I am not willing to let my government sacrifice my fellow Canadians to maintain the Western/Zionist empire’s already-lost unipolarity, so I want to address why Canadians deserve transparency regarding the registry of suspected Nazis that entered Canada after WWII. Those who oppose the release of this list generally have two arguments: one, that a release of this list would create a “witch hunt” that hurts innocent Ukrainians that are innocent of Nazi collaboration or only joined nationalist groups to escape the Soviet Holodomor, and two, that Nazi collaboration was so long ago that it shouldn’t matter, and it will only create an environment that hurts the innocent descendants of Nazi collaborators.
Regarding the first argument, if there is no evidence that a Ukrainian immigrant to Canada participated in a war crime, then that person should not have anything to fear from a legal perspective, and nor should the Canadian community assume one is responsible if there is no evidence indicating they are guilty. But I want to get into why this list remains relevant to the safety of Canadians today, and why we deserve transparency even if it will unfortunately create some tension and make some innocent descendents of the collaborators uncomfortable in the process.
In 2023, Yaroslav Hunka, a Ukrainian Waffen-SS veteran was invited to the House of Commons in Canada to be recognized by Speaker Anthony Rota, the Member of Parliament for Hunka’s district. Hunka received standing ovations in Canadian parliament, but then the media later revealed he had been a Nazi collaborator. This was brushed off as a political blunder, and the Speaker took the fall for event. But it was then later revealed that Hunka had donated thousands of dollars to the University of Alberta’s Canadian Institute for Ukrainian Studies. While this donation was returned to his family, Hunka was not the only Ukrainian Nazi collaborator who had donated to the University of Alberta. The university had also accepted endowments from other Nazi collaborators, worth over $1.4 million total.
This Hunka example indicates that there is already evidence that our educational system has received funding from those who harbour Nazi ideologies, thus influencing the lens through which Canadians are educated about Ukrainian history. The publishing of the registry would thus not be to simply punish elderly Nazi collaborators or their descendants. It would be to track where these collaborators went, what organizations and people they were connected to, and whether their ideologies have affected any of our institutions in inappropriate ways. Given the Canadian government’s reluctance to discuss the subject, this question becomes even more relevant and necessary to examine.
And on that note, let’s discuss Chrystia Freeland.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland
Chrystia Freeland was appointed as Justin Trudeau’s Deputy Prime Minister in November 2019, and served as Canada’s Finance Minister since August of 2020. She resigned from this position in mid-December 2024, a few weeks prior to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s own resignation, who was polling at 22% in January 2025 according to a Sky News report.
Freeland is also Ukrainian-Canadian, and the granddaughter of Michael Chomiak, a Ukrainian journalist who wrote anti-semitic propaganda for Hitler throughout the Nazi occupation of Poland. While Freeland is of course not responsible for her grandfather’s actions, she is responsible for her own, particularly if her behaviour indicates she has absorbed similar ideologies while she has been holding office in the Canadian federal government.
And there is evidence that suggests she has. Freeland has a history of whitewashing Nazi history in Ukraine, glorifying Nazi collaborators like mass murderer/M16 asset Stepan Bandera, and lying about her grandfather’s complicity in the Holocaust. She has also been pictured holding up a flag of the Nazi-allied UPA, which she has since deleted off Twitter. Moreover, Freeland has also participated in Russophobic propaganda, forbidding the humanization of Russians or any nuanced perspectives on the war in Ukraine despite the 2014 coup, 2014 murder of anti-Maidan protesters, the presence of neo-Nazis in Ukraine, or the aggressive NATO expansions prior to the Russian invasion.
Freeland has also endorsed white supremacy by consistently supporting Israel during the genocide of Palestinians. Here she is refusing to call for an end to Israel’s bombardment of civilians in Gaza, and offering instead some bullshitty platitudes. Freeland has been voted by the Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East as the candidate in the Liberal party that is the least likely to advance freedom for Palestinians due to her actions as Foreign Affairs Minister, where she refused to condemn Israel’s deliberate targeting of Palestinian protesters during the Great March of Return. She also promised Canada would serve as an “asset for Israel” if it won a seat at the UN Security Council. Freeland has also supported Canada’s interference in Ukrainian democracy in 2014, where we provided shelter to neo-Nazis and nurtured and funded ultra-nationalist forces in Ukraine. Trudeau and Freeland also demanded Zelensky block legal proceedings against Petro Poroshenko, who was the anti-Russian leader installed after the 2014 coup, who has ties to the Rothschilds and has also praised the neo-Nazi Azov regiment.
Freeland is also exhibiting what one could argue as behaviour veering into authoritarianism. Her resignation only weeks prior to Trudeau’s appears to have been a PR move to distance herself from Trudeau’s atrocious polling numbers so that she could remain in power. But Freeland was a part of that same Liberal party that was polling at 16% according to Angus Reid, the lowest polling for the party since 2014.
The Liberal party appears to want Canadians to believe that because Mark Carney is heading the party now, and not Trudeau, that Chrystia Freeland’s influence within the party just evaporates into thin air and that the Liberal party becomes a completely different entity. But Freeland’s influence on the Liberal party remains, despite the fact that she shuffled from Finance Minister to Minister of Transport and Internal Trade. Watch, for example, this exchange below:
It is possible that Freeland could still lose her seat during the April election, however, if she had any dignity or respect for Canadians or democracy, she would not have run again at all given her terrible performance these past few years. She was evaluated poorly as Finance Minister prior to her resignation and was heckled so much during her attempt to obtain the leadership bid for the Liberal party that it took her an hour to get through her initial speech. She is not well-liked, yet there she is again in Carney’s Cabinet. Why is she still there?
Because Mark Carney is running for Prime Minister, and not Freeland herself, the Liberal Party is attempting to make the argument during their campaign that they are now a brand new party. But Mark Carney is Freeland’s son’s godfather, indicating that they have a much closer personal relationship. And Carney has also included additional old faces from Trudeau’s last Cabinet, including Minister of Foreign Affairs Melanie Joly, who is a genocide supporter. Why are we supposed to believe Carney would be widely different for Canada given what the Liberal party has offered us for the past decade, particularly since they are the party that has presided over Canada during our support of Israel during the genocide?
Freeland’s support for Israel, actions regarding the proxy war in Ukraine, and offensive desire to remain in leadership despite her performance is concerning given the Liberal party’s main Conservative opponents are headed by Pierre Pollievre, a staunch Zionist who has declared that Israeli military action against Iran’s nuclear installations would represent “a gift by the Jewish state to humanity.” These aspects indicate it is looking like Canada has a high likelihood of having Nazi/Zionazi next government, regardless of which party actually wins.
I am not here to tell you who to vote for, but regardless, I am in support of the registry of Nazi collaborators being disclosed to Canadians. With evidence that there is Nazi ideology influencing our politics and leadership, we deserve to know how it was enabled to flourish within a country that is not so “anti-racist” as you may think.

A recent Ukrainian poll found, iirc, that a solid 15% of Ukrainian veterans stated that they would take up arms to oppose any peace that saw a reduction in Ukraine's pre-1991 borders. Ukraine's soccer hooligan/neo-nazi element is as vibrant as ever, and it's leadership have openly threatened Zelensky's life if he cuts a deal. There is video of Zelensky personally pleading with the "officers" of a neo-nazi battalion to withdraw their heavy weapons in accordance with the Minsk requirements, and they refuse to do so. The culprits of the Odessa massacre were never brought to justice, though they are known, and they continue to poison Ukrainian politics and the military to this day. It matters little what Zelensky agrees to, or not, in terms of negotiations, I think, his days are numbered and he may not get out alive to enjoy his yacht and foreign properties if the nazis have anything to say about it.
