Then there is the Ukrainian National Federation of Canada, a 40-plus-year-old cultural organization whose logo contains the insignia of a faction of the fascist Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists. The group got the equivalent of $140,000 in grants between 2015 and 2022, mainly to provide summer jobs for youth. Last month, its president said of Hunka: “The fact that he was a soldier doesn’t mean he was a Nazi” but conceded that applauding him “maybe wasn’t correct” given the circumstances.” 

And the New Pathway newspaper, which once said a Canadian Jewish newspaper was fanning “ethnic discord” by calling for the removal of a monument to a Nazi collaborator, received about $68,000 from a fund that supports local publishers. The newspaper also wrote in 2020 that SS Galichina veterans were “subjected to unwarranted attacks labeling them as ‘Nazis’” and that the division was “wrongly accused of ‘Nazism’.”

New Pathway was the only one of the eight entities covered in this article that responded to a request for comment. In an email, the publication’s editorial writer, Marco Levytsky, echoed the characterizations in the 2020 article, saying the unit has “been wrongly labeled with the Nazi brand.”
