Chrystia Freeland is a Canadian Liberal politician currently serving as Minister of Finance and Deputy Prime Minister.
Freeland's maternal grandfather, Michael Chomiak, was the editor-in-chief of Krakivs'ki Visti, a Ukrainian language Nazi newspaper in Nazi-occupied Poland and Germany.[1] Freeland has praised her grandparents on numerous occasions, claiming in a now-deleted tweet that "they worked hard to return freedom and democracy to Ukraine" and that she was "proud to honour their memory."[2]
