Canada’s Memorial to the Victims of Communism was finally unveiled in Ottawa on Thursday, but the controversy that has followed the project over the past decade continues.
Etobicoke Centre MP Yvan Baker was expected to speak at the memorial’s public unveiling at the Garden of the Provinces and Territories on Wellington Street, but no one from the Liberal government attended the ceremony.
“We are very disappointed that the prime minister cannot be here, or chose not to be here,” said Robert Tmej, a member of the board of directors of Tribute to Liberty, the registered charity behind the project.
