Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau was reluctant and dismissive when it came to prosecuting Nazi war criminals in Canada.
  • In the late 1970s and early 1980s, when evidence surfaced that Nazi collaborators had immigrated to Canada after WWII, critics pressed his government to take action.

  • Trudeau downplayed the issue, reportedly saying Canada was “not going to go witch-hunting” decades after the war.

  • He questioned the value of pursuing elderly suspects so many years later and suggested that Canada should “let the past stay in the past.”

  • This stance frustrated Jewish organizations, Holocaust survivors, and human rights groups, who argued that Canada had become a safe haven for war criminals.

  • It wasn’t until after Trudeau left office (under Brian Mulroney’s government in the mid-1980s) that Canada established the Deschênes Commission (1985–1986) to investigate Nazi war criminals living in Canada, eventually leading to some deportations and denaturalizations.
In short: Trudeau essentially opposed active prosecution of Nazi war criminals, preferring to move on rather than reopen cases decades later.

Decades later his son stands up to applaud Yaroslav Hunka in the House of Parliament.
