Not sure what people have against uncovering history and how it plays into the current.
Some people are really not very different than Americans in their thought-ending processes or how it relates to policies today ("communist propaganda", "who cares", "its Canada's past").
The resettled Nazis could still be alive and could still be spouting hateful or pro-Nazi rhetoric, as we saw 2 years ago with Yaroslav Hunka.

The Deschenes Commission recommended changes to criminal and citizenship law to allow Canada to prosecute war criminals, which Canada did and which is immensely relevant today considering how many Israeli-Canadians are taking part in the Palestinian genocide.
However, even though Canada tried to prosecute Nazi war criminals, they would end up acquitting or dropping charges. In 1994, after several similar cases in which charges had been dropped, Canada said it would no longer prosecute Nazi war criminals.
With Canada claiming to fight antisemitism, while at the same time giving historically proud antisemites a pass, it's worth knowing the history, how that ties into today's policies, and what we should advocate for.
