The race card doesn't always work:
Canada’s parliament, the Canadian Armed Forces and Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) demonstrate what the other NATO allies keep trying to hide. They aim to reverse the outcome of World War II and resume Adolf Hitler’s operation to destroy Russia.
However, the fate of soldier Yaroslav Hunka of the SS Waffen Galician division, whom the MPs, the chief of the Defence Staff, and the RCMP commissioner, saluted a few days ago for his exploits killing Jews and Poles in the Ternopil region of western Ukraine between 1943 and 1945, now rests with two dossiers. One is in the archive of the Polish war crime prosecuting authority, the Institute of National Remembrance, in Warsaw. The second is the Soviet Army intelligence and KGB archives on the operations of Hunka’s unit before it fled a thousand kilometres southwest to Austria in order to surrender to the British Army.
“Beasts in human form with a red star on their foreheads,” Hunka has called the Russians whom he was afraid to fight.
His Jewish schoolmates in the Berezhany Gymnasium – 32 of them refugees from Poland – caused him to “wonder why they ran away in front of such a civilized Western people as the Germans.” They were all murdered by June 1943 when the town was declared Judenfrei. Hunka remembered that time as “the happiest years of my life [dreaming] of the company of charming girls.”
A year later, the Red Army launched its offensive against Lvov and in four weeks Hunka’s division was destroyed at Brody, 70 kilometres north of Hunka’s home. Of 11,000 of the Galicians with Hunka in the battle of the Brody pocket, less than a third survived. He fled with the retreating Wehrmacht towards Graz, Austria. “It was now every man for himself”, a recent history of the Battle of Brody (lead image, July 14, 1944) has described the outcome for the Galicians.
What Hunka had already done to the “charming” Jewish girls of Berezhany, and what he did when facing the Russians has been described by the Speaker of the Canadian House of Commons, in a script drafted by the Canadian Foreign Ministry, applauded by General Wayne Eyre, chief of the Defence Staff, as “heroic”.

“The Beasts With a Red Star on Their Foreheads” — Canada’s Alibi for Repeating Hitler’s War
The representative of King Charles III in Canada expressed ‘deep regret’ for giving elite awards to Peter Savaryn, the former chancellor of the University of Alberta who served with SS Galichina during World War II.
Canada’s governor general apologized Tuesday afternoon for awarding one of the country’s highest honors to a Ukrainian immigrant who served in the same Nazi unit during World War II as the 98-year-old who was honored last month in the Canadian Parliament, an incident which sparked international outrage.
The statement from the governor general — the representative of the British monarchy in Canada — concerned Peter Savaryn, who served as chancellor of the University of Alberta from 1982 to 1986 and in 1987 was appointed to the Order of Canada. The award is akin to the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom, and is considered the second-highest distinction for Canadians, topped only by the Order of Merit available to all citizens of the British Commonwealth.
Responding to an inquiry from the Forward, the statement from Governor General Mary Simon expressed “deep regret” about Savaryn’s appointment. A spokesperson said the office is also now reviewing two other honors it gave Savaryn: the Golden Jubilee (awarded in 2002) and Diamond Jubilee (awarded in 2012) medals.
Savaryn’s background has come under new scrutiny since the Forward was the first news organization to reveal the background of Yaroslav Hunka, the veteran given a standing ovation in Parliament during the Sept. 22 visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. (more...)
Canada apologizes for honoring another veteran from unit that fought with Nazis
A 1986 report identified 20 accused Nazis with recommendations on prosecution. As of writing, Canada has yet to convict a Nazi on war crime charges.
Nazigate went from bad to worse as the feds say they will not commit to unveiling the identities of 20 suspected Nazis who immigrated to postwar Canada.
The Commission of Inquiry on War Crimes led by Québec Court of Appeal Justice Jules Deschenes in 1985 identified some 200 unnamed suspects in its public report, confirmed by Blacklock’s Reporter.
A follow up report in 1986 identified 20 accused Nazis with recommendations on prosecution, but it remains redacted under the Access To Information Act. It also details how they got into Canada postwar.
When asked by a reporter if the government will reopen the Deschenes report, Attorney General Arif Virani gave a non-answer, stating there is a “process” to follow in Canada.
“Do you support reopening the Deschenes report?” asked a reporter. Virani replied: “I will always support ensuring people who have perpetrated war crimes […] are brought to justice.” (more...)
Trudeau Liberals tight-lipped on releasing secretive ‘Nazi blacklist’

On Wednesday, September 20, protests erupted across Canada in 27 cities as part of the "1 Million March 4 Children". Protesters were demanding an end to what they perceive as the indoctrination of children in schools.
Rebel News sent 14 journalists to cover these events, which included both the march for children's rights and counter-protests led by unions and political figures who accused the movement of harboring hate and extremism.

Rebel News reporter David Menzies is in North Bay, Ontario to find out more about how a Nazi war veteran was honoured in Canadian Parliament.
North Bay, Ontario, is a small Canadian city of immigrants from Europe, their upwardly mobile children, and their children’s children.
It’s the town where Yaroslav Hunka (lead image) lives after he left the British prisoner of war camp where he and other Ukrainian soldiers of the SS Waffen Grenadier Galician Division were held after the end of fighting in Europe in 1945. North Bay is where his son Martin Hunka was chief financial officer of Redpath Mining, a mine engineering company. By North Bay standards, the Hunka family is better educated and wealthier than most, donating substantial sums of money to the local hospital, universities, and Ukrainian national organizations, and through the Redpath mining company to local politicians.
North Bay is also where the children of these men demonstrate Hitler salutes and Nazi Party slogans on the local high school football field.
This is the model of small-town church-going people of modest but respectable means who share the prevailing ideology of their homeland grandparents who were on the side of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Stepan Bandera in the last world war. The smiles remain the same, the stand-up stiff-arm salutes have changed. The minds remain fixed where they were in their grandparents’ ideology – that was the collective fascism of a century ago.* These people continue to believe that for their liberation, the Russian race should be destroyed – “suffocated” is the state policy term used by Canada’s Foreign Minister, Melanie Joly.

Canada and the NATO Alliance Hunker Down to Defend Race War Against Russia — the New Evidence
Canada's two fine rebel historians, journalist, anti-imperialist thinkers and campaigners, media critics, and NGO critics Yves Engler coming from Montreal, and Richard Sanders from Montreal. Yves is associated with the Canadian Foreign Policy Institute, Disruption Canada, and author of several books, and Richard Sanders the founder of the Coalition to Oppose the Arms Trade, editor of Press for Conversion, and a lifelong peace campaigner.
On the program the two gentleman and I discuss the recent controversary that saw the speaker of the house in Canadian parliament, honor a Ukrainian solider who fought with a Nazi brigade during World War II. For once corporate/state media in Canada have been forced to report this, the speaker of Canada Anthony Rota was forced to resign. There's been fake outrage on the part of the Conservative, NDP, and Quebec Bloc who gave this guy two standing ovations, and yet the National Post, Toronto Sun, CBC, and other outlets have been forced to discuss Canada's hidden past of harboring Nazis from Eastern Europe who support endless Cold Wars firstly with the USSR and now with Russia. So Yves Engler and Richard Sanders who exposed that Chrystia Freeland's grandfather that she often praises was a Ukrainian Nazi propagandist who ran a Nazi newspaper in occupied Ukraine. And the expat civil society group she associates with the Ukrainian Canadian Congress supports fascistic movements in Ukraine like Svoboda, Right Sector, they praise Stepan Bandera an infamous Nazi collaborator and part of far-right movements in Ukraine at the time. Will those of us who've been marginalized, smeared, intimidated, and silenced for speaking out on the Western backed coup in Ukraine, and NATO countries supporting far-right Ukrainian movements who celebrate Bandera wear the symbols of Svoboda on their Ukrainian flags and clothing, will we be given finally the space to speak the truth about what is happening in Ukraine and NATO's real evil agenda? If this has brought outrage and Anthony Rota was forced to resign, will the silence over Freeland's Nazi skeletons and the civil society groups like Ukrainian Canadian Congress finally end? will those on the left who blindly "stand with Ukraine" reconsider their positions, and others feel more compelled to speak out? And is it now long overdue that the Anti-Communist Left move beyond its Anti-communism, since the arguments that communism is just as evil an ideology as Nazism, that Stalin was genocidal like Hitler, that communist states killed more fascist ones, that and even the Holodomor all came from Eastern European expat civil society groups that were founded by runaway Nazi war criminals, and yet society at large and much of the left has recycled this propaganda and engage in Self-McCarthyism/Self-Red-Baiting, and trashed or suppressed the legacy of communist movements, communist politicide by the Nazis, and even associate and prop up the UCC and wrongly justify the crimes the Stepan Banderas of the world participated willingly in.
Amidst NaziGate the Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) has largely escaped scrutiny. But the powerful lobby group should be queried about their support for the former SS soldier applauded by Parliament and its Canadian government connections.
After six days of remaining mum about the Jaroslav Hunka scandal the UCC released a cryptic statement that doesn’t mention the 14th Waffen-SS Galicia Division veteran Canadian politicians celebrated. Instead, it notes, “there are difficult and painful pages in the shared history of the communities who made their home in Ukraine. The UCC acknowledges that recent events that brought these pages to the forefront have caused pain and anguish.”
Yet the UCC has significant ties to Hunka. He’s listed on the organization’s site as a “supporter” and Hunka donates annually, giving the UCC $5,200 since 2013. In 2003 Hunka represented the UCC at the 8th Ukrainian World Congress in Kiyv and in 2007 the group gave the former Nazi soldier a Medal of Merit (alongside several dozen other 14thWaffen-SS veterans). The Ukrainian ambassador to Canada in the post ‘Orange Revolution’ government was a special guest at the ceremony and gave a celebratory speech.
In the late 1940s the UCC campaigned to have Canada accept members of the Waffen-SS’s Galicia Division and the UCC, which is an umbrella organization, actually represented Waffen SS members who came to Canada after World War II. In “The Ukrainian Canadian Congress and its Fascist Roots” Richard Sanders writes, “this association of Nazi SS soldiers was openly listed on the UCC website as one of its national member organisations. The Ukrainian SS is still given a prominent place of honour at some UCC events. For example, at UCC Edmonton’s annual commemoration of the Holodomor in 2016, a Ukrainian WWII veteran stood behind the speaker’s podium holding the infamous Waffen SS flag.” Recent UCC Remembrance Day statements have claimed the Galicia Division was among those who “sacrificed and risked their lives for peace and freedom around the world.” (more...)
Stench from cheering Nazis not confined to Parliament
Matthew Ehret talks with John Helmer about the many unreconstructed Nazis that were given sanctuary as part of NATO's international secret armies post WWII with a special focus on Yaroslav Hunka (feted by Parliament on Sept. 22) and Chrystia Freeland's beloved grandfather Michael Chomiak.
How are the narrative controllers currently attempting to reduce this scandal to a topic revolving around events locked in a cage 80 years in the past devoid of any connection to current events? How do both anti-Russian secular jews like Kolomoisky and Zelensky resolve their Jewishness with their devoted support for modern Nazis working with the Ukrainian military and Civil Service... such as the Azov and Aidar Battalions? What role does Irwin Cotler play within this game or Humka's son Martin whose vast wealth accrued through his role as CFO of Redpath Mining Holdings? What will Poland do with this scandal and what secrets might their archives or the still-classified Deschenes commission report on Nazism in Canada hold today?

Poland has initiated a diplomatic standoff with Canada, seeking extradition of a 98-year-old Ukrainian Nazi veteran honored by Canadian parliamentarians. This move comes after Canada's controversial tribute to the veteran, drawing criticism from many. Poland's actions are seen as retaliation for Canada's past criticism of Poland's LGBTQ+ rights record, further complicating diplomatic relations.
The Nazi rag Michael Chomiak oversaw recruited for the very organization Yaroslav Hunka volunteered for — a connection that's unlikely lost on the deputy PM.
Now that Canadian Parliament has ignited an international conversation about the dark side of Ukrainian nationalism by giving a standing ovation to Waffen-SS veteran Yaroslav Hunka, it might be worth revisiting the role Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland’s grandfather played in recruiting young men like Hunka to the Nazi cause.
During Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Sept. 22 House of Commons visit, Freeland was one of hundreds of parliamentarians who stood to applaud after now-former speaker of the house Anthony Rota announced the presence of a “98-year-old Ukrainian Canadian who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians during the Second World War.”
The ensuing controversy must have created a sense of déjà vu for Freeland, who is long overdue for setting the record straight about the nationalist hagiography she’s constructed around her Ukrainian nationalist forebear — if only the media would ask her about it.
Michael Chomiak, Freeland’s maternal grandfather whom she’s repeatedly cited as a political inspiration, edited a Nazi newspaper for Ukrainian exiles in occupied Krakow called Krakivski Visti, which was printed on a press seized from a Jewish owner.1
Despite the equivocations of Liberal partisans, these facts aren’t in dispute. Freeland, in fact, helped edit a 1996 academic paper on the depiction of Jews in Krakivski Visti, written by her uncle, University of Alberta scholar John-Paul Himka.
At some point, Freeland decided it was politically useful to present the elder Chomiak as an avowed liberal democrat and the “most passionate” of Canadian patriots. When Chomiak’s history resurfaced in 2017, no doubt with some help from Russian authorities, Freeland claimed it was all a bunch of Russian propaganda. (more...)
Chrystia Freeland's Gramps and the Waffen-SS
To smell a rat, one did not need to know that the 98-year-old man, trotted out for a ‘feel good’ moment when the Canadian Parliament welcomed Ukrainian President Zelensky on Sept. 22, was a soldier of the Nazi’s Waffen-SS ‘Galizien’ Division. The assembly went berserk, just to honor a warrior in World War II against the evil Russians. But there’s something wrong with that picture: Didn’t over a million Canadians fight on the side of the Russians and against Nazi Germany in that war? Didn’t those Nazis kill some 44,000 Canadians?
However, it gets worse. Yaroslav Hunka was indeed a Nazi warrior, very likely a participant in the war crime of burning to death over 500 Polish civilians in February, 1944. There are some 1,200 to 2,000 members of that Waffen-SS division that Britain covered up for, and sent to Canada in the years after the war. What happened last week has the quality of screaming out loud what was too evil to be said, and rather was only supposed to be kept in one’s dirty private thoughts: ‘We really are deploying Nazis.’ It wasn’t “Communist disinformation” back then, nor is it “Russian disinformation” today.
For that matter, Canada has a deputy prime minister, Chrystia Freeland, who helped to overthrow the elected government of Ukraine, whose grandfather 80 years ago worked for the Nazis and had a key role to play in recruiting the 18-year-old Yaroslav Hunka to join the ‘Galizien’ Division. Small world. But, up to now, mentioning the role of her grandfather Michael Chomiak in whipping up mass, racial hatred against Jews in Ukraine from 1939 to 1945, would be deflected by the magic words, “Russian disinformation.”
But this is not about Ukraine or Canada. How have we come to the deployment of Nazis? When financial manipulations, cheating one’s neighbor, predominate in the world, the proper job of science, industry and agriculture in creating the necessary physical wealth for populations is disrupted; and one can guarantee that, in a Malthusian ‘dog-eat-dog’ world, some form of fascistic race hatred will be promoted—such as Hitler’s Nazis. But the model had been established by rapacious, militaristic empires such as Babylon and Rome — or the more modern-day Dutch and British Empires, whose policies and actions murdered millions of darker-complexioned populations.

How Canada’s Leaders Came To Publicly Cheer a Nazi
For this episode of the Bandera Lobby Show I talked to Lev Golinkin, the wonderful journalist who first reported on "NaziGate" in Canada and the existence of Waffen-SS Galicia Division monuments in the United States.
The fact that some Ukrainians collaborated with Nazis is no secret, but it’s been whitewashed and even celebrated in Canada
Canadian officials have spent the past week apologizing for accidentally honoring a 98-year-old man who fought in a Nazi division during World War II as a Ukrainian nationalist hero.
While most Ukrainians battled against Germany during the war, it’s well known that the western region of the country collaborated with the Third Reich — and that thousands of those involved were allowed to resettle in Canada.
Yet politicians and institutions are professing shock that Yaroslav Hunka — an old man who got a standing ovation from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and President Volodomyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine on Sept. 22 — was part of a unit armed and trained by Nazis.
That unit, the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, also known as SS Galichina or SS Galizien, was created in 1943, commanded by SS officers, and is believed responsible for war crimes including the 1944 Huta Pieniacka massacre, where hundreds of Polish villagers were burned alive.
In the week since the Forward first reported on Hunka’s problematic past, a university announced plans to return an endowment funded in Hunka’s honor and the parliamentary leader who invited him resigned, under pressure, from his post as speaker. Yet that politician has connections to institutions tied to Hunka’s family, and the University of Alberta has publicized past support from other SS Galichina veterans. In a 2011 news release, the school described another donor as having “joined the Galicia Division, later the 1st Ukrainian Division of the Ukrainian National Army.”
Here’s some of what we’ve learned about Hunka and his family, how he came to be honored in Parliament, the history of SS Galichina and its veterans, and the spiraling fallout. (more...)
Background:
Zelenskyy joins Canadian Parliament’s ovation to 98-year-old veteran who fought with Nazis
http://StopClassroomGrooming.com | MORE: https://rebelne.ws/3PXpxKo
98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka was honoured by hundreds of MPs on Friday evening.
There has been a great deal of reporting about parliament celebrating a World War II Nazi soldier. But even though he was praised specifically for fighting Russia the media has ignored the horrors inflicted by the Nazis on Russians.
During Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s recent speech to Parliament, 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka was labeled a “hero” by the Speaker of Parliament for fighting Russia. In subsequently justifying his embarrassing presentation of the 14th Waffen SS volunteer, Anthony Rota noted, “my intention was to show that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is not a new one.” For Rota the Nazi bit was an aside, or as Caitlin Johnstone opined, “Nobody Who Fought Against Russia Could Possibly Be Bad!”
This idea isn’t new. The mid 1980s federal government-appointed Deschênes Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals in Canada came to a similar conclusion. In justifying a do-nothing approach to Canadian former Waffen SS members — who swore allegiance to Adolf Hitler and were part of an organization deemed criminal by the Nuremberg Tribunal — the commission noted that the division’s soldiers volunteered “not because of a love of the Germans but because of their hatred for the Russians and the Communist tyranny.”
What the Nazis did to Russians during World War II was horrific. According to official statistics, 11 million Russian/USSR military personnel and 16 million civilians were killed. The siege of Leningrad (present-day Saint Petersburg) was ghastly. As a result of one of the longest and most destructive sieges in history, around 1.5 million died.
In a statement pointing out there are over 200 000 Canadians of Russian descent and that almost all Russians “lost at least one relative in combating Nazism”, that country’s ambassador noted, “I strongly believe that despite deep disagreements between Moscow and Ottawa on the current geopolitical situation, the Government and the Parliament of Canada must find courage to apologize directly to all Russians and the Russian Canadian community for the disgraceful incident the whole world was watching on September 22.”
Another important omission from the discussion is Canada’s long-standing belligerence towards Russia. As part of its ties to the British empire, Ottawa has been in a near state of war with Russia for over a century and a half. (more...)
Russophobia a 150-year-old official Canadian passion
Parliament’s standing ovation for a Nazi soldier highlights deep ties to far-right Ukrainian nationalism and staunch support for NATO. The embarrassing incident could unravel the political consensus on the proxy war.
During Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy speech to Parliament on Friday Yaroslav Hunka received two standing ovations from MPs. The 98-year-old was labeled a “hero” by the Speaker of Parliament for fighting Russia. Anthony Rota noted, “We have here in the chamber today a Ukrainian Canadian war veteran from the Second World War who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians and continues to support the troops today even at his age of 98.”
But Hunka’s fight against Russia was with the 14th Waffen SS, which largely consisted of volunteers from the western part of what’s now Ukraine (Galicia). SS members swore allegiance to Adolf Hitler and the 14th Waffen SS was responsible for a horrible massacre of a Polish village. They also killed Jews, Slovaks and Ukrainians. There are monuments celebrating the division in Oakville and Edmonton and the powerful Ukrainian Canadian Congress has long celebrated the SS Galician Division. (Hunka has donated at least $5,200 to the UCC, according to its annual reports.)
Thousands of Ukrainian Nazi soldiers were allowed to come to Canada after World War II and Canada has long been a hub of far-right Ukrainian nationalism. To justify its collaboration with the Nazis’ genocidal policies Ukrainian nationalists often claim Joseph Stalin’s USSR committed a genocide against Ukrainians. Canadians have led the way in promoting the Holodomor, which is important to anti-Russian Ukrainian nationalist mythology. Zelenskyy praised the “first ever Holodomor monument in the world” put up in Edmonton forty years ago. (more...)
Good guys, bad guys and Ukrainian nationalism
Ukrainian immigrants and their descendants have a significant influence on Canadian politics, what is not surprising, while about 1.36 million Canadians declare Ukrainian origins, what equals nearly 3.5% of the country’s population.
The qualitative shape of this diaspora was influenced by the admission to Canada of almost 100,000 ‘refugees’, including the SS-men from the 14th Waffen-Grenadier-Division of the SS Galizien, as well soldiers and members of other Ukrainian armed formations collaborating with Nazi Germany. They have been relocated by the Britons as a part of their preparations to the World War 3 against the Eastern Bloc and to handle the intelligence tasks for Western Powers.
Part of the newcomers joined the older organisation, the Ukrainian Canadian Committee (now the Ukrainian Canadian Congress).
That was a strategy of Andriy Melnyk’s fraction of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN). During the WW2 this group was responsible for recruiting to the collaborator troops organised by the Germans and directly involved in the management of the occupied territories in Poland and Ukraine, taking active part in the Holocaust. In Canada Ukrainian Nazis focused on intensive educational and propaganda work among young people, not forgetting about veterans from the 1st Division of the Ukrainian National Army (i.e. the rebranded Waffen-SS Galizien).
In turn Banderites, in 1949 organised themselves as the Canadian League for the Liberation of Ukraine, and now the League of Ukrainian Canadians.
From the beginning to this day, these groups proudly use the black and red Ukrainian Nazi colours and openly declare pride in the legacy of Stepan Bandera.
An important part of the League is Society of Veterans of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) in Canada has openly brought together members of Nazi troops responsible for the genocide on Jews, Poles, Russians and Ukrainian anti-fascists during World War 2. (more...)
The Nazi-Ukrainian Reich of Canada
After measuring the level of support for Ukrainian Nazis in Canada by applauding a 14th Waffen SS war veteran, the Canadian Parliament was forced to apologise for that unacceptable act after drawing nationwide and international condemnation. Anthony Rota, former Speaker of Canada’s Parliament, willingly fell on his sword and took the blame for what happened.
Rota sought to take attention away from one Deputy Prime Minister who smiled with glee when Hunka was announced as a war veteran who fought the ‘Russians’ (USSR) during WWII: Canadian MP Chrystia Freeland, a descendent of a Ukrainian war criminal herself, who has both a grandfather and a great uncle with infamous ties to the Nazis.
Some may wonder how Hunka, along with many other war criminals of this variety, were allowed to roam free like this in Canada in the first place. Freeland’s family lineage is a helpful place to start.
Chrystia Freeland’s grandfather, Michael Chomiak, was a propagandist for the Nazi occupation in Ukraine during World War Two. He wrote for Krakiv’ski visti, an anti-semitic pro-occupation newspaper. She’s publicly tried to deny Michael Chomiak’s legacy many times (calling it ‘Russian propaganda’), and even edited Krakiv’ski visti apologia for the newspaper to redeem her grandfather (Krakiv’ski visti and the Jews), but it’s come to naught. (more...)
Chrystia Freeland: Canada’s fascist queen

The Chomiak-Freeland Connection
It was a rare show of unity in Canada’s increasingly frayed parliament. 336 of 338 Members of Parliament, the Prime Minister, Senators and other guests of honour joined Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a standing ovation for “Canadian hero,” Yaroslav Hunka. The 98-year-old was heralded for fighting “for Ukrainian independence against the Russians in the Second World War.”
The touching moment was, however, short-lived. Unfortunately, for Canadian statesmen and their Ukrainian patrons, astute netizens had the presence of mind to question that if Hunka was fighting “the Russians,” then who was he fighting alongside?
The answer also wasn’t hard to find.
Hunka fought in the 14th division of the Waffen SS, having voluntarily joined in 1943, by his own admission. Suddenly, the beautiful show of solidarity and unity took a very dark turn. By Sunday afternoon, House Speaker Anthony Rota, who supposedly was behind Hunka’s invitation, and Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre were claiming that lawmakers had no about the ex-Nazi’s past.
Rota and the Prime Minister’s Office are in charge of who gets to be in the Parliamentary gallery, and who gets recognition in Parliament. Interestingly, Liberal MP and Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland, who would know full well what it meant to fight “for Ukrainian independence against the Russians in the Second World War,” was seen smiling and joyful during Hunka’s recognition.
On Poilievre’s claim, people must realize that the opposition force against the USSR even after Nazi Germany was forced out of Soviet Ukraine, were Nazis who wanted an independent fascist Ukraine. These Nazis were outnumbered by the near seven million Ukrainians who fought in the USSR’s Red Army.
Claiming ignorance is farcical on their part as well, showcasing their anti-communism, which naturally leads to defence of fascists fighting socialist states such as the USSR. These same MPs support billions to Ukraine, support of the Azov battalion and the whitewashing of Nazis in Ukraine, and wouldn’t have condemned Hunka’s honouring if the Canadian people and international media didn’t catch onto what they did.
However, putting aside the Canadian regime’s dubious idiot defence, the episode sheds light on a larger issue. Hunka is hardly the first former Nazi with national name recognition (albeit the first to get a standing ovation in the House of Commons). For years Canada struggled to deport Helmut Oberlander, a former translator for the Einsatzkommando 10a unit, a Nazi death squad involved in numerous war crimes during WWII. In fact, Canada’s Nazi footprint goes right to the top, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s right-hand woman, Chrystia Freeland, being the granddaughter of a Nazi propagandist.
All of which begs the question, how exactly did Hunka and others like him enter Canada after World War II? While many scholars admit that the importation of Ukrainian and other fascists was done to crush burgeoning leftist diasporas, this is where analysis of fascists and reactionaries being imported to Canada usually ends.
Quite the opposite. The Nazi “underground railroad” was just the first salvo of the Canadian state’s 75-year drive to import fascists and anti-communists, in service of maintaining Canadian colonialism and bolstering support for Canadian imperialism. Hunka is just the everyday Nazi, one of many. (more...)
The House of Anti-Communists, and the Nazi Monster it Spawned
As the scandal roars on over Yaroslav Hunka, a Nazi collaborator from the SS Galicia division who was given a standing ovation in the Canadian parliament, RT speaks with a panel of guests about the detrimental effects of lingering Nazi sentiment in today's world.
Bangladesh Foreign Minister Ak Abdul Momen has accused Canada of harboring murderers while commenting on the deepening diplomatic crisis between Ottawa and India.
The incident with ovations to a Nazi collaborator in the Canadian Parliament is dominating the headlines, and the Jewish community is pushing Ottawa to stop providing cover for what they claim are war criminals in the country.
Patrick Henningson says that despite the West’s best efforts to get Poland to fear and hate Russia, and embrace the regime in Kiev, the Poles are now backing away from Zelensky. Canada’s pro-Nazi rally in Parliament was maybe the last straw. But it’s not going to be easy with US now occupying part of the Polish military infrastructure.
Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate cover the international scandal that unfolded when the Liberal Party of Canada's Justin Trudeau honored a Ukrainian Nazi veteran of the Waffen-SS, and the dark history it forced to the surface.
The hollow words of the moral coward Justin Trudeau to "apologize" for the scandal of standing ovations in the Canadian Parliament for a veteran of Ukraine's World War II Nazi SS provide an opportunity to expose to the world the rewriting of history which underlies the present drive for permanent war. The endless war targets any nation which stands up for the sovereign rights of its people. The U.S. and its NATO stooges are rewriting history to cover for their wars, to defend their commitment to a Unipolar Order dictatorship. Their hypocrisy is backfiring against them.
Ukrainian Nazis and collaborators, 10,000 of them were sent to you by Britain after WW11, George tells Canadian caller Leem, who tells him that their children are not taught that Russia was an ally.
Oberscharführer Louis Feutren was sentenced to death by a court in Rennes in 1945 during the trial against his "Bretonische Waffenverband der SS" unit (unofficially known as "Bezen Perrot") for crimes against French partisans and Jews. He evaded imprinsoment by escaping to Ireland. He was the French teacher at St Conleth's, a school in Dublin, from the mid-1950s to the mid-1980s. He is rembered by many pupils for his cruel corporal punishment and psychological abuse. I was one of his students. Everyone at the school knew, from headmaster to pupils that he was a conivcted Nazi. I have requested St Conleth's to issue a public apology for having inflicted this war criminal on its students for so long.

How could members of Canada's Parliament not know that a World War II veteran who fought against Russia was on the side of Hitler's Nazis? And if it is such a scandal that a veteran of a Ukrainian SS unit was honored, why is it not a scandal that western governments continue to pour arms and money into Ukraine, including weapons which end up in the hands of today's Ukrainian Nazis? Ignorance is no excuse, especially as the war is escalating, even as Ukraine's forces are being obliterated.

A footnote in a book by Dr. Myroslav Shkandrij, titled ‘In The Maelstrom: The Waffen-SS 'Galicia' Division and Its Legacy’ noted that statements against Freeland made in ‘Espirit de Corps,’ accusing Freeland of defending WWII Ukrainian Waffen SS Galicia were 'malicious' and 'defamatory' in intent.
The world watched last Friday as the entirety of Canada’s parliament, including Prime Minster Justin Trudeau, delivered a grandiose standing ovation to First Ukrainian Division World War II (WWII) veteran Yaroslav Hunka. He was there to watch a speech before the House of Commons by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Ivan Katchanovksi, a political scientist at the University of Ottawa, first noticed the grave error. “These are photos of SS Galicia Division veteran who was given standing ovation by Canadian parliament, Prime Minister of Canada and president of Ukraine. He published these photos of himself in in this division during training in Germany,” the post read.
The scandal gathered momentum from there, culminating in the resignation of House Speaker Anthony Rota on Tuesday after a rushed convening of party leaders. Rota had been tasked with introducing the special guest seated in the gallery during Zelenskyy’s historic visit.
Rota had described Hunka to the parliamentarians in his speech as a “veteran from the Second World War who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians,” further adding that he was “a Ukrainian hero.”
Hunka, a 98-year-old still active in the Ukranian community, received a thunderous round of applause from the Commons.
Hunka, as it would be revealed, fought in the First Ukrainian Division, or the First Galicia Division - previously known as the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the Schutzstaffel (SS) of the Nazi party.
The First Ukrainian Division was crafted in part by Heinrich Himmler, the chief architect of the Holocaust. “Your homeland has become more beautiful since you have lost - on our initiative, I must say - the residents who were so often a dirty blemish on Galicia’s good name - namely the Jews,” said Himmler to his Ukrainian troops in a 1944 speech. “I know that if I ordered you to liquidate the Poles, I would be giving you permission to do what you are eager to do anyway.”
And they did. (more...)
On last night's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra was joined by Manny Montenegrino, President of ThinkSharp Inc and former Stephen Harper lawyer, to share his thoughts on the current state of Canada's foreign affairs and domestic challenges. Ezra and Manny discussed the ongoing fallout from now-former Speaker of the House Anthony Rota inviting a Nazi to the Canadian House of Commons, as well as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's pattern of refusing to take responsibility for his government's fiascos.
In this episode of Breaking History, Sean and Matt discuss the origins of Ukrainian fascism, where Canada acquired its Nazi problem, and the synthetic creation of blood and soil cults masquerading as separatist/nationalist movements around the world. A focus is placed on the new imperial organizing myths created to define a Sikh ethno-nationalist homeland in Punjab (dubbed Khalistan), the manipulation of Native Americans who have been led to believe that the great advanced civilizations of pre-Columbian America had nothing to do with them, political Zionist ideologues, Finnish nazis who believe in 'Greater Finland' (including East Karelia carved out of Russia) and much more.
We also discuss the connection of Satanism with fascism (tying this into the appointment of Marina Abramovich as Ukraine's ambassador in charge of child security).
Amid the growing tension between India and Canada over the Khalistan issue. We look at the history of the Khalistan movement in India. We look at how the movement that stemmed from the demand for Sikhism to be recognised as a distinct religion turned violent and ultimately led to the death of Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. In this episode of Decode, we also look at the most prominent figure of the Khalistan movement.
From simmering tensions to international recognition: How India's diplomatic heat turned up the spotlight on Khalistan. Canada's dance with controversy in the mix!
India's National Investigation Agency has conducted nationwide raids on gangsters from the Khalistan separatist movement. Over 40 suspects turned out to have links to Canada.
Canada you have a Nazi problem. Prime minister Trudeau applauding an SS member in parliament was akin to dancing on the graves of his countrymen who died in WWII
Viva Frei joins the Ezra Levant Show to weigh in on the Nazi fiasco that happened in the House of Commons. 'These buffoon-parliamentarians are giving a standing ovation to someone who fought valiantly against our allies,' Frei says.
