"Nazi-gate" & Canada's support of East European Nazis

 

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.
