The Coincidences Behind Canada’s Nazi-Honoring Debacle Are Deeply Unsettling

The grandfather of Chrystia Freeland worked for a Nazi newspaper that recruited for the Galicia Division of the Waffen-SS

the same division as Yaroslav Hunka, the Nazi who was recently honored by Canada’s Parliament.

But politics was bred in her bones. Both parents were lawyers, having studied law at the University of Alberta. Her father, Donald, ran for the provincial Liberals under Nick Taylor, a move his daughter calls a “suicide mission” in Alberta, and her late mother, Halyna Chomiak Freeland, ran unsuccessfully for the New Democrats. (A great-uncle, Ged Baldwin, was a crusading “Red Tory” MP.)

“I remember being surrounded by politics from the moment I was born,” she says.

Through her mother’s parents, Michael Chomiak and Alexandra Loban Chomiak, Freeland is rooted in the immigrant experience, the other major influence on her life.

The Chomiaks saw themselves as political refugees from Soviet-occupied Ukraine, and loved Canada.

“All my grandparents loved Canada but my Ukrainian grandfather was the most passionate,” says Freeland, who was born Christina Alexandra and adopted the name’s Ukrainian form. “I remember his kids once saying something mildly critical of Canada. He pounded his fist on the table and said he’d lived in six countries and Canada was the best in the world.”

Michael Chomiak was a lawyer and journalist before the Second World War, but “they knew the Soviets would invade western Ukraine (and) fled … and, like a lot of Ukrainians, ended up after the war in a displaced persons camp in Germany where my mother was born.”

Everyday attention was given to economic and cultural life, and especially to the support of the German war effort. In 1943 and 1944, both Lvivski Visti and Krakivski Visti hailed the German-approved formation of the 14th Waffen SS Division Halychyna, composed of Ukrainian volunteers. Ukrainians prefered [sic] to see this formation, especially at the end of the war, as a nucleus for a future Ukrainian Army, calling it the First Ukrainian Rifle Division.

 

The 1941 tragedy hit them and the rest of the Western Ukrainian population hard: they have lost either relatives or people whom they knew in the massacre. Two years later, when the UCC [Ukrainian Central Committee] campaigned for the Waffen-SS Division Galizien, which was reflected in Krakivski Visti, many young Galician Ukrainian men enlisted because images of the prison murders from summer 1941 — which was their first exposure to the Soviet mass brutality — became entrenched in their minds.

So you are really proud of it. Interesting. To be honest, I doubt that the majority of the German public supports this. Have you conducted a survey? Surely it is a violation of Italy’s sovereignty for Germany to transport large quantities of illegal immigrants onto Italian soil? Has invasion vibes.
