The Hon. Andrew Scheer, the Leader of Canada’s Conservatives, issues statement on the Anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ottawa, ON – The Hon. Andrew Scheer, Leader of Canada’s Conservatives, issues the following statement on the Anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising:

“Today
marks the 75th Anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising, which began on August 1, 1944
and lasted 63 days. The uprising by the Polish underground resistance, led by
the Polish Home Army, was a brave effort to liberate Poland’s capital from
German occupation. Though the uprising was ultimately defeated, for those
63 days, Canada’s Polish friends and allies fought the German Army, inflicting
numerous losses of troops and resources.

“Today we
pay tribute to the people of Warsaw, both the combatants and the civilian
population, who demonstrated an inexhaustible willingness to sacrifice all to
preserve their freedom, independence, and the right to a sovereign future.

“On behalf
of Canada’s Conservatives, I encourage all Canadians to learn more about the
history of World War II and the sacrifices made by the ‘greatest generation’ in
defeating tyranny.”
