Cotler calls Nazi invite result of 'failure of indifference and inaction', supports unsealing Deschenes records
www.ctvnews.ca
A former federal justice minister says the 'failure of indifference and inaction' over Canada's history with Nazis in the country likely contributed to Parliament's unknowing recognition of a Nazi veteran in the House of Commons last week, and that he wants to see nearly 40-year-old documents on suspected war criminals living in Canada unsealed.

    Didn't Canada expel and revoke the citizenship of a hundred year old Nazi that had been living there for decades? If so, can't they just do that again?

      I think the real question is how many nazis there are in Canada and why the Canadian government won't release this information to the public.

      It's been a week for this guy. Went from being applauded for being a nazi to steps being taken to hold him accountable for his crimes.[1]

      But our institutions need to find the rest of them to hold them accountable.
