THE Canadian federal government has ensnared itself in yet another embarrassing Nazi scandal. The Department of Canadian Heritage was just informed that over half of the 550 names engraved on its Memorial to the Victims of Communism in Ottawa are Nazis or have links to fascist groups.

Many were perpetrators of war crimes in the USSR, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and other countries occupied by the Nazis.
