Worth note that this is an apology for honoring a Nazi years ago (a Nazi who died in 2017), and not, as I had thought when reading the headline, a second Nazi veteran that the government invited and honored right after they had got done honering the first Nazi guy.

Still worth apologizing of course, just want to clarify a key detail to those going by headline alone.

The article doesn't mention that the Order Of Canada was awarded by Jeanne Sauve, a conservative.

Note: this was in 1987 that he was honoured
