Climate-driven wildfires in Canada could cost future generations trillions: study

OTTAWA - Newly released excerpts from a landmark 1986 study reveal U.S. intelligence agencies covertly admitted to bringing at least 35 individuals with questionable pasts to Canada following World War II. The clandestine program, established by the U.S. government, facilitated the immigration of these individuals during the Cold War era.

The study, conducted by researcher Alti Rodal for Canada's inquiry on war criminals led by Jules Deschenes, has only recently been made public after a Federal Court ordered its release. Simon Wolle, CEO of B’nai Brith Canada, expressed relief over the release of this information, stating the organization is pleased to have it available to historians, Holocaust survivors and their descendants, as well as the general public.
