Early life, education and student activism (1968–1993)

Freeland was born in Peace River, Alberta.[16][17][18] Her father, Donald Freeland, was a farmer and lawyer and a member of the Liberal Party,[19] and her mother, Halyna Chomiak (1946–2007), was also a lawyer and ran for the New Democratic Party (NDP) in Edmonton Strathcona in the 1988 federal election.[20][21]

Freeland attended Old Scona Academic High School in Edmonton, Alberta[22] for two years before attending the United World College of the Adriatic in Italy, on a merit scholarship from the Alberta government for a project that sought to promote international peace and understanding.[23]

She received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Russian history and literature from Harvard University.[5] During her time at Harvard, she visited the Soviet Union as an exchange student to study Ukrainian, although she was already fluent in the language. While there she attracted the attention of the KGB, which tagged her with the code name "Frida", and Soviet newspapers, who attacked her as a foreigner meddling in their internal affairs over her contacts with Ukrainian activists. The KGB surveilled Freeland and tapped her phone calls, and documented the young Canadian activist delivering money, video and audio recording equipment, and a personal computer to contacts in Ukraine. She used a diplomat at the Canadian embassy in Moscow to send material abroad in a secret diplomatic pouch, worked with foreign journalists on stories about life in the Soviet Union, and organised marches and rallies to attract attention and support from western countries. On return from a trip to London in March 1989, Freeland was denied re-entry to the USSR.[24]

By the time her activism within Ukraine came to an end, Freeland had become the subject of a high level case study from the KGB on how much damage a single determined individual could inflict on the Soviet Union. In a 2021 interview with the Globe and Mail, one former member of the intelligence service called Freeland as "a remarkable individual", and described her as “erudite, sociable, persistent, and inventive in achieving her goals”.[24]

She received her Master of Studies degree in Slavonic studies from the University of Oxford's St Antony's College as a Rhodes Scholar in 1993.[5][25]

Edward Chomiak is led from the courthouse in Peace River, Alta. on Monday. (Janice Johnston/CBC News )

After years of delays, the Edward Chomiak trial finally began late Monday afternoon in Peace River.

Chomiak, 55, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the December 2010 deaths of his ex-wife Melody Perry and her 20-year-old daughter, Jerica Bouchard.

Chomiak shuffled into court bound by leg shackles and softly entered pleas of "not guilty" when the charges were read. He was allowed to sit beside his lawyer as hundreds of photos were entered as exhibits at the trial.

Victims' family hopes Falher murder trial will finally go forward

First-degree murder charges laid in Falher deaths

The pictures depict a chilling, grisly crime scene. The two women died that day in a barrage of bullets.

An autopsy report reveals Perry was shot as many as 15 times. Her body was found in the ensuite bathroom of the remote mobile home where she lived just west of Falher, Alta.

Medical examiner Dr. Graeme Dowling wrote, "There is a wound to Perry's right cheek where powder burns were observed. The range for this gunshot would have been between one and three feet. Two of the gunshot wounds to the head would have been lethal."

Bouchard's body was found slumped against cabinets in the kitchen. The medical examiner determined she had been shot five times. The fatal wound was to her head.

Restraining order

At the time of their deaths, Chomiak was bound by a restraining order to stay away from the two women.

Ten months before she was gunned down, Perry filed an affidavit that led to the restraining order. In it she wrote, "I don't know where Edward is at this time but I'm afraid of what he might do next time and just how far he will go to hurt me."

In November 2010, Chomiak was ordered to pay his estranged wife $3,000 a month in support payments. It was supposed to be retroactive to the beginning of that year.

As an interim move, Chomiak was given a Dec.18, 2010 deadline to hand over $8,500 to Perry.

She was murdered December 15th, just three days before that deadline.

Evidence of a break-in

Perry's mobile home was decorated for Christmas the morning of her death.

Stockings had been hung. The tree was up and a fresh pine wreath adorned the door.

Perry and her daughter were inside the mobile home when someone crashed through that door before 8 a.m.

When police arrived on the scene, they found the door unlocked, a chip of wood taken out of the frame, denting on the door above the deadbolt, and most disturbing of all, red stains around the doorknob.

Officers spotted a pair of legs as they approached the kitchen. Jerica Bouchard was still sitting up, leaning against the cabinets, her head tilted to the side. A pair of glasses was on the floor in front of her, stained by blood.

The RCMP followed a trail of expended .22 calibre bullet cartridges towards the master bedroom and spotted the door that led to the ensuite bathroom.

It was riddled with bullet holes. Melody Perry's body was inside the blood-soaked bathroom. The 45-year-old was slumped against the wall, wearing blue jeans, a light blue sweatshirt and white socks. Court has been told she called 911 that morning, begging for help.

A cell phone was found in the bathroom

Chomiak arrested same morning

Edward Chomiak was arrested later that same morning. RCMP found him in his truck.

They also found an unloaded .22 calibre rifle on the passenger seat along with more than 200 rounds of live ammunition.

Officers seized a pair of Bushnell binoculars, effective up to 1,000 metres, from the truck along with a bag of latex gloves. One of the gloves appeared to have been used.

In cross-examination of Sgt. Bruce Vogel, defence lawyer Naeem Rauf established no forensic evidence, including fingerprints belonging to Chomiak,were found at the crime scene.

The trial continues Tuesday. The 911 call made by Melody Perry on the morning of her murder is expected to be played in open court.

Getting them Early:

Building the ultraNationalist Cause among Children and Youth

As children,Chrystia Freeland and her friend Paul Grod (president of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress), like so many thousands of other ultranationalist Ukrainians in Canada, were brought up through the tight ranks of either the League of Ukrainian Canadians' Banderite youth organisation or a similar scouting group called the Plast Ukrainian Youth Association.[i]

In 1977, at the age of nine, Freeland joined the Edmonton branch of the Plast scouting organisation. In 2013, when asked whether Plast had been influential during her childhood, Freeland responded:

"Absolutely. Plast was a very important part of my life growing up and it is a very important part of my daughters’ lives. I grew up in a Ukrainian community and was active in Plast. Now my two daughters are active plastunky in New York (my son is only 3 years old). My elder daughter went to Lviv this summer for the 100th anniversary of Plast."[ii]

Freeland joined Edmonton's Plast group in 1977 because that was the year that her mother, Halyna Chomiak Freeland, another intensely passionate Ukrainian nationalist, separated from her nonUkrainian husband and left Peace River, Alberta. Once in Edmonton, Chrystia was much closer to her mothers' father, Michael Chomiak, his five other children and their extended family. She also came under the influence of the very large Ukrainian community there, which comprises about 14% of that city's population.[iii]

Moving to Edmonton was a major turning point in Chrystia's life, not only due to her parent's separation but also because she became much more deeply immersed in the Ukrainian community's ubiquitous enculturation programs. For example, besides joining Plast, Chrystia started classes in two Ukrainian educational programs: (1) Alberta's government-funded, bilingual Ukrainian-English public school system, and (2) the Ukrainian community's "Saturday schools."

In 1979, when Chrystia was eleven, she was interviewed by her maternal uncle Bohdan Chomiak, Michael Chomiak's son, for a radical Ukrainian nationalist newspaper called Student. In that publication distributed to Ukrainian university students across Canada, Bohdan asked Chrystia to compare the two core Ukrainian training programs in which she was enrolled. She replied that

"historically, geographically and gramatically (sic) speaking … you learned more in the Saturday school…. One of the biggest differences though is that the Saturday schools are much more patriotic and religious, so that history will have a lot of facts about how brave and gallant the Ukrainian kings were. And it will usually be stressed. Sometimes they'll talk about the negative points, but their perspective will be that of the Ukrainian nation."[iv] (Emphasis added.)
