Put away the pitchforks... sort of.

This happened in the 80s. It's just that it's getting an apology now that there's scrutiny.

Both this guy and the Nazi in parliament were from the same SS division. The government of Canada imported the whole division after WW2 to scab when a nickel mine went on strike.
