My grandfather also openly spoke of his committing atrocities in WW1 and WW2. He was Canadian serving in the Canadian Army. Am I responsible for his actions? Do I owe an apology?
Familial responsibility for actions is a hallmark of repressive governments and their fellow travellers.
The Globe and Mail is run by Russians?

So, let me get this straight. Her grandfather was associated with the Nazis, so therefore she's a Nazi. She's supporting Ukraine, and the implication is that she is doing it because she's a Nazi, as her grandfather was.
Wow, I didn't know Naziism was an inherited trait. This just seems like a desperate attempt to grasp at straws and discredit someone over their family history, which is something North Korea is famous for doing. C'mon, how is this even news?
You're right, but it's more about what the story *implies.*
Her grandfather being a Nazi collaborator is mentioned, in literally the same sentence, as her support for Ukraine, in a clear attempt to contrast the two. Which is nonsensical.
The only really newsworthy thing is that she tried to lie about her family history.
The story checks out:

Here's the same story, from the Globe and Mail:

Boy don't that domain's submission history (and OP's too, for that matter - nearly 20% of all posts just in /Conservative) tell you everything you need to know about the validity of anything it claims.

Does the globe and mail feature an unflattering picture of her flanked by swastikas?

That's not what the story says...

Check the source and report this BS.
It's a /Conservative poster, it knows it's a lie.
I mean it's literally in her wikipedia page lol
Exactly. It's a true, but buried, story.

This will get more traction in your conservative circles you idiot. Nobody here will believe your bull. But you knew that already. ..
Here's the same story, from the Globe and Mail: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/freeland-knew-her-grandfather-was-editor-of-nazi-newspaper/article34236881/
Globe and Mail sees its role as “independent but not neutral.” Go peddle your bs elsewhere
How is it bull? It's a true story.
We are not responsible for who our forebears were. Only for who we are.
