Worth note that this is an apology for honoring a Nazi years ago (a Nazi who died in 2017), and not, as I had thought when reading the headline, a second Nazi veteran that the government invited and honored right after they had got done honering the first Nazi guy.
Still worth apologizing of course, just want to clarify a key detail to those going by headline alone.
The article doesn’t mention that the Order Of Canada was awarded by Jeanne Sauve, a conservative.
Canada’s governor general apologized Tuesday afternoon for awarding one of the country’s highest honors to a Ukrainian immigrant who served in the same Nazi unit during World War II as the 98-year-old who was honored last month in the Canadian Parliament, an incident which sparked international outrage.
I’m confused, it sounds like they addressed the most recent ceremony?
Awarded in 1987 citation: https://www.gg.ca/en/honours/recipients/146-13284
PC government under Brian Mulroney.
GG was Jeanne Sauvé
I knew Trudeau was behind it
It’s always the Liberals.
canada rn:
Note: this was in 1987 that he was honoured
Glad Canada apologized.
It’s kinda our thing.
If you think we’ve been typecast… Sorry.
Hear me out here, guys… Have we tried not honouring nazis?
