Hear me out here, guys… Have we tried not honouring nazis?
Note: this was in 1987 that he was honoured
Glad Canada apologized.
It’s kinda our thing.
If you think we’ve been typecast… Sorry.

Awarded in 1987 citation: https://www.gg.ca/en/honours/recipients/146-13284
PC government under Brian Mulroney.
GG was Jeanne Sauvé
I knew Trudeau was behind it
It’s always the Liberals.
Worth note that this is an apology for honoring a Nazi years ago (a Nazi who died in 2017), and not, as I had thought when reading the headline, a second Nazi veteran that the government invited and honored right after they had got done honering the first Nazi guy.
Still worth apologizing of course, just want to clarify a key detail to those going by headline alone.
The article doesn’t mention that the Order Of Canada was awarded by Jeanne Sauve, a conservative.
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.
I’m confused, it sounds like they addressed the most recent ceremony?
