Parts of 1986 report on Nazis in Canada must be made public: judge
https://nationalpost.com/news/nazis-canada-report-declassifiedIt all seems mysterious to me: Did Canada allow Nazis to settle here after #WWII out of carelessness? Or was there some scheme, like favouring anti-Communists, regardless of what they did before 1945? And why is there still secrecy about the Deschênes Commission?

1. https://www.moneycontrol.com/world/we-got-attacked-carney-says-canada-is-at-war-with-us-over-trump-s-50-tariffs-article-14013415.html2. From the article: "Today, Prime Minister Mark Carney has suggested that Canada is “at war.” Not a shooting war, but about as serious a business for the country’s future as anything in our history."
3. If PM Mackenzie King found time to speak to Parliament at the start of something as grave as #WWII, PM #MarkCarney could find time to do so during a trade war.

My husband discovered the 'cozy' British TV mystery, "BOOKISH," because one of his idols, Mark Gatiss, wrote it and stars in it.

Resistance Fighter Lepa Radić
The Yugoslav Partisan was executed 83 years ago today at the age of 17.
In February 1943, Lepa Radić was captured while organizing a rescue of 150 citizens seeking refuge from the Axis. She attempted to protect them by firing at the Nazi SS forces but was eventually arrested. After 3 days of isolation + torture, during which Radic refused to divulge any information, the Germans sentenced her to death by hanging. Moments before her execution Radic was offered a pardon if she revealed the names. Her response: “I am not a traitor of my people. Those whom you are asking about will reveal themselves when they have succeeded in wiping out all you evildoers, to the last man.”
