Was Chrystia Freeland's grandfather a nazi?
Chrystia Freeland's maternal grandfather, Michael Chomiak (also spelled Mykhailo Khomiak), was a Ukrainian journalist who worked as the chief editor of Krakivski Visti, a Ukrainian-language newspaper published in Nazi-occupied Poland during World War II.
The newspaper was established in 1940 by the German authorities, operated under Nazi supervision, and was printed on presses confiscated from a Jewish publisher who was later killed in a concentration camp. Historical records, including those from the Holocaust museums in Los Angeles and Washington, indicate that Krakivski Visti published antisemitic content and Nazi propaganda, including support for the formation of the 14th Waffen-SS Division "Galicia," a unit composed of Ukrainian volunteers that fought for the Germans against the Soviets.
Chomiak’s role as editor-in-chief is well-documented, notably in a 1996 scholarly article by his son-in-law, John-Paul Himka, a historian at the University of Alberta. Freeland herself assisted in editing this article, which detailed her grandfather’s wartime activities. The article notes that while Chomiak claimed to his family after the war that he had worked with the anti-Nazi resistance (e.g., by issuing false papers), the newspaper he ran undeniably served Nazi interests by promoting their propaganda and suppressing coverage of the Holocaust.
Whether Chomiak can be classified as a "Nazi" depends on the definition. He was not a member of the Nazi Party, but he collaborated with the Nazi regime by managing a publication that furthered their ideological goals, including antisemitism and recruitment for their military efforts. Some argue this was a pragmatic choice under occupation, as he faced limited options between Nazi and Soviet control, while others, like historian Himka, acknowledge the antisemitic nature of his work, though not as extreme as some Nazi officials. After the war, Chomiak emigrated to Canada, where he lived quietly until his death in 1984, and his past came to light through his archived papers.
Freeland has faced scrutiny over this history, especially since it resurfaced in 2017 during her tenure as Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister. She initially suggested such claims were Russian disinformation, but Canadian media, including The Globe and Mail, confirmed she had known of her grandfather’s role since at least 1996. Her office later framed it as a complex chapter she supported her uncle in studying, though she has not publicly condemned Chomiak’s actions, often portraying him as a victim of circumstance who inspired her love of Canada.
In short, Michael Chomiak was a Nazi collaborator who ran a propaganda outlet during the war, a fact supported by archival evidence and scholarly research. Whether that makes him a "Nazi" in the ideological sense is debated, but his work directly aided their regime.

Truth hurts.
L Todd Wood knows more than most
Freeland is bad news
Perhaps Trudeau should tell the truth - that thousands of Ukrainian Nazis were relocated to Canada after WWII. Perhaps he should name them and ask them to leave.
Perhaps Trudeau should start with his own cabinet and ask for the resignation of the woman who has openly supported Ukrainian nationalist demonstrations in Canada, the woman who froze grandma’s bank accounts for supporting the truckers.
Canada expresses their loyalty when Trump rustles the bushes about a 51st state but they just love the socialists who keep them in bondage. Have they forgotten how Trudeau treated them during the covid truck protest, freezing their bank accounts so they could not feed their families, guess their memory fails them being the highest consumer of alcohol in the world helps
Thanks to all posters. Thanks to Grok at X. BUMP
You just can’t make this up! Unbelievable but it explains a lot, JA?
THEY HAD TWO CHOICES HITLER OR STALIN!
And what can you "learn" from the politics of someone's grandfather?
And what can you “learn” from the politics of someone’s grandfather?
***********
My Russian grandmother born in the Ukraine taught me all about communists and that it was right to despise them..........you can learn a lot from the politics of one’s grandparents. For example, Joseph Kennedy’s great-grandchildren wouldn’t vote for a conservative if he were the last man standing.
“Canada’s Freeland Says She Will Form Nuclear-Armed Alliance Against United States “
Maybe it’s time to dust off War Plan Crimson and update it.
With Biden no doubt a good idea for her.
No one knows what or who you’re talking about.
Okay, keep your head firmly 2 feet below ground level
