Are We Really to Believe that the Canadian Government Isn’t In Fact a Pro-Nazi Establishment?

 

Yet another “deeply embarrassing” scandal for the Canadian government, this time involving a 98-year old Ukrainian Nazi who received a standing ovation in the Canadian Parliament during Ukrainian President Zelensky’s address this past Friday, on September 22, 2023. Hmmm, coincidence?

According to the PR damage control, this is all the fault of House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota who had extended an invitation to Yaroslav Hunka to witness Ukrainian President Zelensky’s address to the Canadian Parliament. Thus, we are told that the Trudeau government and Zelensky are simply innocent bystanders of this unfortunate blunder by one man’s oversight.

Even more bizarrely, was Rota’s actual speech during Zelensky’s appearance in Parliament, which went like this:

“We have here in the chamber today, Ukrainian Canadian world veteran from the Second World War, who fought for the Ukrainian Independence against the Russians … (becomes wide-eyed and pauses) and continues to support the troops today even at his age of 98 (applause and standing ovation).”

... Rota has since resigned from his position as House of Commons Speaker, accepting full responsibility for the “deeply embarrassing” incident.

In Trudeau’s “apology” he stated:

“It is going to be really important that all of us push back against Russian propaganda, Russian disinformation, and continue our steadfast and unequivocal support for Ukraine as we did last week announcing further measures to stand with Ukraine in Russia’s illegal war against it.”

Apparently Trudeau’s apology is that this is all Russia’s fault?!?

However, if we are to believe this was all simply a blunder by Rota, why was Mr. Hunka, who served in the 14th Waffen-SS Grenadier Division, a voluntary unit made up of mostly ethnic Ukrainians under Nazi command, introduced by the House of Commons Speaker as a WWII veteran who fought against the Russians? A point that even Mr. Rota seemed perplexed about after he read those lines out loud…clearly he was not the one who wrote his speech.

Yes, if you were Ukrainian and fighting the Russians during WWII that pretty much meant you were directly aligned with the Nazis. To be clear, this Waffen-SS Grenadier Division that Mr. Hunka participated in did not only kill Russians, they killed Polish and Jewish civilians as well.  (more...)
