Freeland has nothing to be ashamed of
I’ve heard it all before. It was fake news then and still is. Allegations about “Nazis in Canada” – the most recent regurgitation targeting Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland – have circulated for decades. Understandably, just after the war’s end, Jewish Canadians were alarmed at the prospect of “Ukrainian Nazis” escaping...
