The history is there if you have the critical thinking skills to wade through it. The SS Ukrainian problem didn't exactly die out with the passing of the generation.
Pierre Trudeau managed to dance around it and said his government did not pursue war criminals "because they were afraid of exacerbating relationships between Jews and Eastern European ethnic communities." Those Eastern Euro ethnic communities didn't exactly have a lot of political power in his day.
The last guy got political support from the vocal right wing oligarch connected Ukrainian Canadians with his tough guy talk - and - he also danced the dance with the not so popular and almost fascist right wing Israeli government of the day.
The current guy just takes his orders from the new ruling elite and he just dances through it all with photo ops and a big smile while he tells everybody that we should all love one another and everything will be good.
Meanwhile, no matter where you look around the world, there are many flash points that could trigger the big one.
Although technically I think the Third World War is already on - many people and governments are still fighting the Second World War.
