Canada apologizes for honoring another Nazi veteran

Canada apologizes for honoring another veteran from unit that fought with Nazis
The representative of King Charles III in Canada expressed ‘deep regret’ for giving elite awards to Peter Savaryn, the former chancellor of the University of Alberta who served with SS Galichina during World War II.
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.
The statement from the governor general — the representative of the British monarchy in Canada — concerned Peter Savaryn, who served as chancellor of the University of Alberta from 1982 to 1986 and in 1987 was appointed to the Order of Canada. The award is akin to the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom, and is considered the second-highest distinction for Canadians, topped only by the Order of Merit available to all citizens of the British Commonwealth.
Responding to an inquiry from the Forward, the statement from Governor General Mary Simon expressed “deep regret” about Savaryn’s appointment. A spokesperson said the office is also now reviewing two other honors it gave Savaryn: the Golden Jubilee (awarded in 2002) and Diamond Jubilee (awarded in 2012) medals.
Savaryn has already been caught in the wake of Canada’s Hunka scandal; after the Forward’s coverage of the University of Alberta’s endowments honoring both him and Hunka, the university announced it was returning the money given by Hunka’s family and is investigating Savaryn’s endowment as well as several others in honor of SS Galichina fighters.
Hunka and Savaryn were both volunteers in the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, commonly known as SS Galichina or the Galicia Division. The unit, which was formed in 1943 out of recruits from the Galicia region in western Ukraine, was armed and trained by the Third Reich, and commanded by German SS officers. It is accused of war crimes, including burning alive 500 to 1,000 Poles in 1944.
Hunka and Savaryn were among the 2,000 or so SS Galichina fighters allowed to start new lives in Canada despite their Nazi past.

The incident, which occurred on September 13, saw Commander sinking his teeth into the arm of Dale Haney, the superintendent of the White House grounds.
This week marks the 30th anniversary of the bloody finale to the 1993 Russian Constitutional Crisis – which saw the streets of Moscow turned into a battleground between pro-Yeltsin forces and the Supreme Soviet parliament.

Pentagon official was arrested for being a member of the dog fighting ring for 20 years
Before being arrested on Thursday and suspended from the government service, Frederick Douglass Moorefield, 62, was a deputy chief information officer for command, control, and communications for the Secretary of Defense’s Chief Information Officer, US media reported.
Moorefield and his friend Mario D. Flythe have been charged with promoting and furthering an animal fighting venture, according to the report.
Both men were members of the dogfighting ring called "the DMV Board," according to an FBI affidavit cited in the report. Nine members of the ring were indicted in 2022 in the state of Virginia and eight more pleaded guilty and cooperated with investigators, according to the report. Moorefield and Flythe were released after being arraigned, the report added.
