Groups honoring the Waffen-SS reportedly received $2.2 million from the government over the last seven years

Ottawa has given $2.2 million over the last seven years to Ukrainian-Canadian groups that celebrate Nazi collaborators, Jewish-American news outlet The Forward reported on Wednesday.

According to the outlet, among the recipients of government grants are defenders of 98-year-old Ukrainian Nazi veteran Yaroslav Hunka, whose presence at a special session of the Canadian parliament last month caused a major scandal.

The largest recipient of government financial support is the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, which is known for praising Hunka’s division (SS Galicia) and protecting a monument to it in suburban Toronto, the Forward article says. This organization is listed as a receiver of nearly $1.5 million between 2016 and 2022, according to public records.
