🇨🇦 In Canada, according to the 2021 census, about 1,800,000 million people belong to indigenous peoples, which is about 5 per cent of the country's population.

❗️The indigenous minority remain one of the most oppressed and marginalized groups in the country's history, facing constant discrimination and living below the poverty line.

☝️ Moreover, it has been reported that in the territories where indigenous peoples live, they have no representatives in Canadian local authorities. For example, the UN Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Victoria Tauli‑Corpuz, pointed out in a report to the 74th session of the UN General Assembly that the Inuit are underrepresented in the Nunavut administration, preventing this body from adequately considering and implementing their traditional knowledge.

⚠️🇨🇦 For many decades, the Canadian authorities have pursued a policy of justifying and glorifying #Nazism.

By openly supporting the Nazi regime of #Kiev in the international arena, and, even more so, by increasing military aid, they trample on the memory of the exploits of Canadians who fought against Nazism and fascism in the anti-Hitler coalition.

It is telling that in 2022-2023, the Canadian delegation voted against the draft resolution "Combating the glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to the escalation of contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance", introduced annually by Russia together with other co-sponsors, in the #UN General Assembly.

❗️Canada became a "haven" for Nazi war criminals and their accomplices from various Waffen-SS units and collaborators. In this country, such individuals were granted permanent residency and then citizenship. Canadian authorities shielded them from justice and prevented their extradition to other countries for prosecution.

❗️A list of 900 alleged #Nazi war criminals who fled to #Canada after World War II could remain secret as federal officials in Ottawa come under increasing pressure to censor the records because they could prove embarrassing to this country.

For decades, Jewish groups have called for the release of the second part of the Deschênes Commission report, the result of a near two year inquiry conducted in the mid-1980s that studied claims Canada had been a safe haven for Nazis.

👉 The first part of the report, which determined that alleged Nazi war criminals were indeed admitted to and residing in the country, was released to the public in 1986. The second part, with the list of their names, has been kept under lock and key for nearly four decades.

☝️ However, the issue came into public attention in 2023, after an international scandal when Prime Minister Trudeau, President Zelensky, and members of Canadian parliament gave standing ovation to a Nazi war criminal YaroslavHunka, member of the volunteer SS ‘Galicia’ division during World War II.
