OTTAWA — Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland acknowledged publicly Thursday a truth at the heart of the controversy over a Ukrainian war veteran’s visit to Parliament last month: none of the MPs present realized they were applauding someone who had fought with the Nazis, and their ignorance is a factor in the pain the incident has caused.
Just like she never asked Granpappy what he did in the war.
Liberal MP with degree in Russian history and Slavonic studies from Oxford University had no idea a WWII veteran of the Ukranian 14th Waffen Grenadier division of the SS could be a Nazi. I guess Rhodes scholars aren't what they used to be.pic.twitter.com/MGpzu4ACUo
