Canada to apologize for turning away ship of Jewish refugees fleeing Nazis
Canada to apologize for turning away ship of Jewish refugees fleeing Nazis
TORONTO -- Canada will formally apologize for turning away a boat full of Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany in 1939, resulting in scores of them dying, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday. In a well-received speech to a sold-out Jewish fundraising event, Trudeau said the decision by Canada to force the German ocean liner "MS St. Louis" to return to Europe was a blight on our collective past. https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/cana...azis-1.3921334 |

Marilyn Gladu Says Justin Trudeau Should Apologize Less Often
Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu says that while she supports Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's decision to apologize for Canada turning away Jewish refugees fleeing the Holocaust in 1939, the number of apologies he's delivered makes people question his sincerity. "I think it's worth apologizing for it, but you can have dilution in recognition when you start apologizing, apologizing, apologizing. It makes it less special," said Gladu. https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2018/0...en_a_23431149/ |
