re: Payouts near $1.8M in failed Nazi trials
Charlie Gillis | Dec. 05, 2001

Nobody forced Ottawa to pay anything. It is a normal consequence for making bogus Nazi accusations and it's costing the Canadian taxpayer $46 million not just $1.765 million. It makes for fewer other things like tanks and planes for our Armed Forces. Continued funding for World War Two war crime allegations calls into question the government's priorities.

Should we spend our money on heath care or against the terrorists at our door or pursuing a pensioner who might have lied when he came to Canada 60 years ago?

Sincerely

And well it should, as that is the price for making bogus Nazi accusations. But that's not all. At the expense of adequately funding such pending matters as healthcare or our Armed Forces, the Canadian tax-payer is footing the bill for Ottawa's $50 million "signal" that Canada is not a haven for retired World War Two war criminals. It calls into question the government's priorities.

It is time to cut our losses and stop pursuing pensioners who might have lied when they came to Canada 60 years ago and focus on the matter at hand - terrorists, foreign and domestic.
