Snip:

On July 24, the Jewish nonprofit organization "Forward" released a new investigation revealing that, since the 2000s, at least two Canadian streets have been named after Nazi accomplices and collaborators. These include Max Brose, a German automotive industrialist who produced weapons for Germany’s wartime efforts during World War II and was a member of the Nazi Party, and Peter Savaryn, a wartime-era Ukrainian SS combatant who fought for Ukraine’s 1st Galician division.

[...]

Despite having fought against Nazis as a member of the anti-Hitler coalition, Canada granted safe heaven to "hundreds if not thousands" of war criminals and their accomplices in the years following the war, the ambassador added. Those individuals then settled nationwide, adopted a quiet life and proceeded to pretend being normal citizens.

[...]

The Government of Prime Minister Mark Carney seems to be following on his predecessors steps as there are no visible attempts to change course on the matter, [Russian Ambassador to Canada] Stepanov said. In addition to hiding from the public a list of Nazis it compiled by the Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals in Canada nearly 40 years ago, Canada has recently begun to vote against the annual UN General Assembly Resolution on Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fueling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, he noted.

Dark past? Yaroslav Hunka (an actual member of the Nazi SS) got a standing ovation from all the Canadian House members not even 2 years ago, this is basically the present

Anything further than two seconds ago is distant past.

Not shocking indeed. In fact, it's actually expected from North Americans and their way of dealing with their indigenous populations.
