    Worth note that this is an apology for honoring a Nazi years ago (a Nazi who died in 2017), and not, as I had thought when reading the headline, a second Nazi veteran that the government invited and honored right after they had got done honering the first Nazi guy.

    Still worth apologizing of course, just want to clarify a key detail to those going by headline alone.

      The article doesn’t mention that the Order Of Canada was awarded by Jeanne Sauve, a conservative.

      Canada’s governor general apologized Tuesday afternoon for awarding one of the country’s highest honors to a Ukrainian immigrant who served in the same Nazi unit during World War II as the 98-year-old who was honored last month in the Canadian Parliament, an incident which sparked international outrage.

      I’m confused, it sounds like they addressed the most recent ceremony?
