Chrystia Freeland, Canada’s former foreign minister, has been appointed as her country’s special representative for the reconstruction of Ukraine. It is a dubious “homecoming” for the rabidly Russophobic Freeland.

Her Ukrainian grandfather served as a Nazi propagandist during the Second World War, promoting the Final Solution and mass murder of Jews and other Slavic peoples. Mykhailo Chomiak evaded prosecution by fleeing to Canada after the war, like thousands of other Nazi war criminals who were brought over on ratlines set up by the Canadian authorities.

During her tenures as Canada’s foreign and finance ministers and deputy prime minister, Freeland distinguished herself as one of the most ardent Western supporters of the Kiev regime, ramping up military aid and demanding tougher sanctions on Moscow. Her visceral hostility towards Russia is explained by her Nazi family heritage.

Freeland’s appointment this week as special envoy to Ukraine is a deplorable decision by her boss, Prime Minister Mark Carney. Carney, who took over from the hapless Justin Trudeau, is a godfather to one of Freeland’s children, so her new job smacks of nepotism.

For a proper postwar reconstruction of Ukraine, Freeland’s role does not bode well. Given her ideological and personal closeness with the Kiev regime, Freeland’s influence on directing the anticipated huge reconstruction funds will only entrench the regime and its vile Nazi proclivities.

During the recent conflict, Freeland has been holding daily telephone briefings with Denys Shmyhal, Ukraine’s former PM and now minister of defense. Shmyhal is legendary for running corruption schemes with the billions of dollars that Canada and other NATO countries have pumped into the Kiev regime over the past three years.

Freeland’s appointment as reconstruction führer will ensure that the money racket continues for her Kiev cronies. Her patronage will obstruct a much-needed clearing out of the Nazi ideology and corruption in Ukraine after the conflict ends. Her presence in Kiev will make a normalization of relations between Ukraine and Russia more problematic, which is probably why she wanted the envoy post.

She is well-qualified in her anti-Russian views. Freeland’s proud association with her Ukrainian grandfather, who died in 1984, and her blatant denials of his Nazi past, suggest she inherited his fascist politics toward Russia despite describing herself as a “Western liberal.”

Mykhailo (Michael) Chomiak was born in Galicia in 1905, in what was then Austria-Hungary. During the war, he was made editor of a Nazi propaganda newspaper, Kraków News (Krakivski Visti), in 1940. Nazi intelligence chief Emil Gassner ran the operation after the printing presses and offices were confiscated from a Jewish proprietor who was later murdered in the Belzec extermination camp in Poland. Chomiak’s Ukrainian-language newspaper advocated for the mass murder of Jews and Soviet citizens and was an important recruitment service for the Waffen-SS Galicia Division, taking in Ukrainian volunteers. The division was infamous for its sadistic cruelty in carrying out mass murder using methods that even the German overseers were squeamish about.

As the Soviet Red Army liberated Poland in 1944, Chomiak and his propagandist operation hurriedly relocated from Kraków to Vienna, where it continued churning out Nazi filth until the end of the war in May 1945, when the Soviet army raised the hammer and sickle over Berlin and Hitler’s bunker.

Following the defeat of the Third Reich, Freeland’s grandfather was taken in by Canada along with thousands of other Nazis. The Canadian authorities wanted to import the fascists to counterbalance other Eastern European emigrés who were supportive of the Soviet Union.

Also, as with other Western states, there was a latent sympathy for Nazi fascism in Canada’s political establishment. A shameful, little-known history of Canada is that the government set up ratlines similar to Argentina and other Latin American dictatorships to take in Nazi fugitives. The United States did the same with Operation Paperclip.

That legacy lives on today and is manifest in Canada’s hostile policy towards Russia, while supporting a Neo-Nazi regime in Kiev. It is a toxic condition of Russophobia shared by other Western capitals. It accounts for why the whole of NATO is at war with Russia in Ukraine and why diplomacy is obstructed at every turn.

Ironically, Canada promotes itself as a liberal, humanitarian champion, with a kinder image than the United States.

Canada’s hidden scandal blew up in September 2023 when a former Ukrainian Nazi stormtrooper, Jaroslav Hunka, was given a standing ovation in the Canadian parliament. Hunka had been a member of the notorious Waffen-SS Galicia division, the same division that Freeland’s grandfather propagandized for during the war.

It was an international fiasco for the Canadian government. The then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau groveled in apology over “a mistake.” The parliamentary speaker was forced to resign amid international condemnation.

Chrystia Freeland has never shown any shame. She indulges in historical falsification, claiming, against all the evidence, that Ukrainian collaborators in the Nazi genocide were not really supporters of the Third Reich but were fighting for Ukraine’s independence from the Soviet Union. These are the same historical lies that are told to whitewash the bloodstained hands of Stepan Bandera, Roman Shukhevych, and other prominent Ukrainian Nazis, who have monuments and streets named after them today in Ukraine under a Jewish president, Vladimir “Conman” Zelensky.

When Freeland’s Nazi ancestry was first reported in Canadian newspapers back in 2017-2018, she blatantly denied the fact and claimed that it was “Russian disinformation” to discredit her. She should have been sacked for lying if the Canadian authorities had any integrity.

Obnoxiously, she continues to insist – like many Ukrainian Nazi descendants in Canada – that her grandfather was not a collaborator. She continues to assert that it is all just Russian disinformation. Her denials are contradicted by Canadian public records that prove beyond dispute that Michael Chomiak was the editor-in-chief of a Nazi newspaper aiding and abetting the Final Solution.

We might suppose that using the Big Lie technique is something that comes naturally to a Nazi scion.

Freeland’s appointment as Canada’s special envoy to Ukraine should be revoked. For a resolution of the conflict in Ukraine, she is the least qualified person. Maybe that’s why certain NATO powers want her homecoming.
