    She’s probably moving on to some other powerful role, but it is nice for a Nazi to leave Canadian government. I wish I loved anything as much as Canadian government loved supporting and whitewashing Nazis.

        She has repeatedly supported the Ukrainian far-right including Right Sector, a Ukrainian neo-nazi group. She made many statements about her Grandfather Mikhail Chomiak being her hero and inspiring her current political viewpoints.

        This was, in my opinion, the most egregious and disingenuous use of Russiagate hysteria, in that her often praise of her Nazi supporting grandfather Mikhail Chomiak became broader knowledge outside of the Ukrainian-Canadian far-right, but that even though it is true that her positions and decision to get into politics were inspired by her Nazi grandfather. The fact that you know about it is part of “Putin’s desinformatsiya” and if you let the knowledge that her positions were inspired by her agreeing with her Nazi grandfather cause you to like her less, you are falling prey to Putin. Because it is Russian disinformation that you know about this true thing that she is not willing to dispute.

        Additionally, her mother and brother were working with the Ukrainian right-wing in their privatization during shock-therapy and the suppression of the left wing. Even though that is not exclusive to being Nazi, given her unwillingness to disavow or critique her grandfather’s pro-Nazi stances and the Mother and Brother’s position within the family, it is more than suggestive.
