Ukrainian immigrants and their descendants have a significant influence on Canadian politics, what is not surprising, while about 1.36 million Canadians declare Ukrainian origins, what equals nearly 3.5% of the country’s population.
The qualitative shape of this diaspora was influenced by the admission to Canada of almost 100,000 ‘refugees’, including the SS-men from the 14th Waffen-Grenadier-Division of the SS Galizien, as well soldiers and members of other Ukrainian armed formations collaborating with Nazi Germany. They have been relocated by the Britons as a part of their preparations to the World War 3 against the Eastern Bloc and to handle the intelligence tasks for Western Powers.
Part of the newcomers joined the older organisation, the Ukrainian Canadian Committee (now the Ukrainian Canadian Congress).
That was a strategy of Andriy Melnyk’s fraction of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN). During the WW2 this group was responsible for recruiting to the collaborator troops organised by the Germans and directly involved in the management of the occupied territories in Poland and Ukraine, taking active part in the Holocaust. In Canada Ukrainian Nazis focused on intensive educational and propaganda work among young people, not forgetting about veterans from the 1st Division of the Ukrainian National Army (i.e. the rebranded Waffen-SS Galizien).
In turn Banderites, in 1949 organised themselves as the Canadian League for the Liberation of Ukraine, and now the League of Ukrainian Canadians.
From the beginning to this day, these groups proudly use the black and red Ukrainian Nazi colours and openly declare pride in the legacy of Stepan Bandera.
An important part of the League is Society of Veterans of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) in Canada has openly brought together members of Nazi troops responsible for the genocide on Jews, Poles, Russians and Ukrainian anti-fascists during World War 2. (more...)
