Zuzak GRC Report; Wed., March 04, 2009

(1) Apology:
Last month, a large fraction of recipients of my GRC Reports became involved in a discussion of denaturalization and deportation, when Marco Levytsky editor/publisher of Ukrainian News attempted to initiate a discussion on the issues. Unfortunately, the discussion spiraled out of control and several people complained.

There are, indeed, a large number of Ukrainian-related issues that should be discussed; however, special newsgroups should be created for this purpose on infoukes.com, on Yahoo Groups or on private blogs. The format of my GRC Reports is not conducive for such discussion. Nevertheless, should anyone not wish to receive my GRC Reports, simply send me an Email and I will remove you from my address book.

(3) d&d: http://www.willzuzak.ca/tp/furman/furman.html
There was one important addition to the d&d page this past month. This is the News Release issued by Allan Rock on 31Jan1995 to announce that the Federal government would abandon criminal prosecutions of alleged “Nazi war criminals” and replace them with “denaturalization and deportation”--  the process utilized by the Office of Special Investigations in the John Demjanjuk case; the process which the Federal Government in 1987 promised never to use.

I repeat once again that d&d is a blot on the Canadian legal system and our legal profession. It should never have been allowed to happen. Canadians and the Ukrainian community, in particular, must demand that the d&d policy be abandoned, and an apology and financial compensation issued to its victims.
