Oh dear, this is not good. Yaroslav Hunka, a 98-year-old immigrant from Ukraine, was introduced by Anthony Rota, Speaker of the Canadian House of Commons, as “a Ukrainian-Canadian war veteran from the Second World War who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians” and “a Ukrainian hero and a Canadian hero,” ignoring the horrific fact that Hunka served in the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, a Nazi military unit whose crimes against humanity during the Holocaust are well-documented.
OTTAWA, Ont. — A ranking Canadian parliamentarian is apologizing to Jewish communities around the world for a blunder during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit that led to lawmakers honoring a veteran accused of belonging to a Nazi division in WWII.
It followed demands by Canadian Jewish organizations Sunday for an apology after it was revealed members of Parliament across party lines awarded a 98-year-old veteran on Friday with a standing ovation shortly after Zelenskyy addressed Canada’s House of Commons.
Yaroslav Hunka stood and appeared to salute from the public gallery when he was recognized by House Speaker Anthony Rota, who introduced Hunka as a Canadian-Ukrainian war hero from his political district.
“We have here in the chamber today a Ukrainian-Canadian 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,” Rota said Friday, followed by a lengthy round of applause and a wave by Zelenskyy. “He’s a Ukrainian hero, a Canadian hero, and we thank him for all his service. Thank you.” (read more)
Any questions? Blithering idiots or Nazi’s or both.
Well….they are not idiots! Now…..any questions?
The Deputy PM’s grandad was a Ukrainian nazi and she’s been photographed with Blood and Soil banners.

Ukraine: Canada has tough questions to answer about training extremists | CTV News:
“In the month that followed, an investigation by the Ottawa Citizen found that not only did Canadian officials meet and get briefed by leaders from the Azov Battalion in 2018, they did not denounce the unit’s neo-Nazi beliefs – despite being warned about their views by their colleagues– and their main concern was that media would expose that the meeting had taken place. Officers and diplomats allowed themselves to be photographed with battalion officials which was then used online by Azov as propaganda.” …….
Understanding the Ukrainian SS Galicia Division Helps explain UK and Canadian support for Ukraine | The Gateway Pundit | by Larry Johnson:
“Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister, Chrystia Freeland, is the grand daughter of a man who collaborated with the Nazis:
Grandpa Chomiak’s collaboration with the Nazis is indisputable:
The Nazi legacy in the Ukraine lives on in the UK and Canada. The grandchildren of those men have not rejected the sordid history of their ancestors, they have embraced it. Keep this in mind when you consider the exhortations from Great Britain and Canada to embrace the Ukrainian cause. There is a Nazi lineage behind it.” …….
I think I’ll go with Door #1 there.
The word itself is an amalgam of National Zionist. Tectonic affiliations are rising to the surface.
It is a nickname for National Socialist, FFS! Short for the first word, national, in German, which, notwithstanding any current PC spellings, was pronounced “nat-zee-on-al.”
It was originally shorthand for National Socialist. Pronounce those things (particularly the first word) with a nice Aryan accent and you can hear how the shorthand came about.
What can one expect from an illiterate progressive actor elevated to PM status by immoral corporations, comprehension? I think not. Had any of them a high school level education, they might have been tipped off by the incident of fighting against the Russians in WW2. This is the level of ignorant moron coming out of an ivy league cesspool. I pray that Putin is not such an illiterate and can recognize we are led by fools.
You sir are assuming these people are idiots…they are not. They are Nazi’s! Labeling them as idiots grants them cover! They don’t care if we see it and know it because that’s the way totalitarianism works. They do not believe they will ever lose the power they have and they are gloating about it with their middle finger in our face!
If evil was smart, then why did evil crucify Christ?
Because HD, in their “genius” they denied the diety that Christ was True Man and True God.
Evil is blind and diabolical, not stupid or smart.
Good question though.
And yet . . . God’s plan was that Christ be crucified, which proves that God uses ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to accomplish His work!
Amen!
Job 1:6-22 EIV
Satan Allowed to Test Job
6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan[a] also came among them. 7 The Lord said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.” 8 And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil?” 9 Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for no reason? 10 Have you not put a hedge around him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 11 But stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face.” 12 And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your hand. Only against him do not stretch out your hand.” So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.
Satan, was wrong here also. God will not be mocked. God will always restore his believers that glorify him.
Nope.
God’s plan – sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to rule His Kingdom -Israel – as King of God’s Chosen People, the Jews.
Satan convinced the Jews that Jesus was NOT their King and they demanded the Romans murder Him. God knew this would happen.
Jesus took all our sins from the Garden to Tribulation – and they were nailed to the Cross with him … on the Third Day Jesus rose from the dead as our Lord and Savior – for all who believe. Amen.
He was elevated by Obama’s campaign team. Seriously.
There’s definitely a link there….
Truduhhh and his merry band of misfit Marxists. Zelensky is another bad actor too.
The picture I saw had all insignia deleted. Where is Nuland.
I am certain this was not a mistake. They knew who they were honoring.

IF there is any reason to disbelieve the competence of central government officials to decide police over matters of health (looking at YOU joe malarkey, the entire congress, and the entire morons of the canadian central state, notwithstanding WHO, CDC, and FDA, and NIH), here AGAIN IS YOUR PROOF TO WITHDRAW ANY CONFIDENCE.
If these people can’t even determine and vett a known nazi, in an official setting, then how do we expect they could ever possibly “get it right” over matters of origins of the bioweapon, mRNA virus enhancer, and policies that look very similar to nazi regime propaganda?

Well said
Two things . . .
1) Zelensky must be some kind of intel operative. He has an INSANE amount of hutzpah to obtain meetings with major foreign leaders and then show up in green khakis. He threatens foreign countries and even blocs of countries, such as the EU. I don’t know what agency or agencies–or country or countries–he’s working for, but there is NO WAY he’s just a guy who runs a small country that borders Russia.
2) Why do so many people help and defend the individuals, groups, and policies that are working at lightening speed and literally destroying the United States, Canada, Europe–and quite frankly, the entire world?!! Do they think they can pull back at the right time while maintaining their status and living off the riches they have collected by being part of the dirty, CORRUPT media–or the dirty and CORRUPT political class??? I have news for them–it’ll be too LATE by then!!! Why would people help destroy where they live–or just hide their face from it and assume it’ll be okay and won’t affect them and their loved ones??? I do NOT understand!!!!!!!
Re: 2) : EXACTLY!
I look around at the “soccer moms” types and their support for leftist policies – backing the narrative cuz that’s what’s cool, the path of least resistance – do they not realize they will be cold and starving too?
Nope. The one overwhelming feature of leftists is that they can not (or will not) recognize the inevitable outcomes of their policies. Ditto the clapping seals who support them.
I’m strongly suspicious about burisma in particular. Remember coffer black, former high level CIA man, of notorious involvement in MANY foreign nation state companies..He was on the board same period as hunter. What was he doing there. Why is the reason that DOJ assembled the 51 secret police spy state actors to declare the laptop russian disinfo?
I believe that burisma was used or was designed by the US secret police to not simply launder money and peddle influence, but was established as a shop to create new state actors in Ukraine
Cofer was Pierre Delecto’s informant as well.
His NatSec advisor for the 2012 campaign. Pierre (and Empress Piglosi) has sons involved in Burisma/Ukraine too. It’s a UniParty thing.
Grass is always greener on the other side of the mountain.
Not your run of the mill nazi soldier but a member of the SS no less! What iceholes. I suggest yiu all watch the documentary Ukraine Einsatzgruppen. Ukraine couldn’t wait to get their nazi on. They MURDERED almost 1 MILLION of their own citizens because they was either Jewish or Russian. I have NO love for Ukraine.
Well documented. They were brutal
Do you have a link for the documentary you’re talking about?
I found this —
— which speaks of some of the atrocities.
Sometimes I pretend to believe my generation (baby boomers) were actually taught history in school. Learning about the brutality perpetrated against civilians, with entire Jewish cities being emptied by the German death squad outside the walls of death camps, is something I only learned today.
Horrific what happened.
So it makes me wonder. . .
The “Mobile killing units” known as the Einsatzgruppen, were made up of 3,000 murdering men per unit, and there were 4 units that worked along the Soviet Union’s western border. Those 12,000 men murdered over a million people.
Last week I heard that over 5,000,000 single, military aged men have entered the U.S. through our southern border. 5,000,000 divided by 50 states means that each state could have 100,000 illegal alien “Mobile killing units” within their borders, more than 8 times what was used to obliterate entire communities at the start of WWII.
Some of us have guns, but how do we stop an army if it is set on our destruction?
An apology? Really? It’s not a mistake or an “accident.” They all know who & what Ukraine is.
Tar & feathers would be more appropriate. Pb would be on target.
Not buying it…
Speaker of the Canadian House of Commons Anthony Rota apologized for inviting an elderly Ukrainian soldier from the SS Galicia division to parliament and honoring him during Vladimir Zelensky’s visit.
A certain Yaroslav Hunka, introduced by the speaker as a veteran of the fight against the Russians during World War II, received a standing ovation on Friday during a ceremonial meeting of parliament on the occasion of the visit of Vladimir Zelensky.
The American Associated Press published a photo with the caption “Zelensky and (Canadian Prime Minister Justin – ed.) Trudeau greet Yaroslav Hunk, who was present in parliament, who served in the First Ukrainian Division during the Second World War.”
Hunka, as it turned out, was a member of the 14th Volunteer Division “Galicia” of the SS troops, which not only fought against the Red Army, but was also noted for atrocities against Jews, Poles, Belarusians and Slovaks.
“I later became aware of additional information that made me regret the decision… I would first like to offer my deepest apologies to the Jewish communities of Canada and around the world.
I accept full responsibility for my actions,” Rota said. He insists that he personally made the decision to invite Hunka to parliament, and no one, including members of the Ukrainian delegation, knew who they would honor.
No apologies to the Russian communities, I see.
Well, the h3ll with them all – they all need to go away to make small rocks out of huge rocks.
In the era of instant information, he knew. They all knew.
I’m not buying what they’re selling either!
‘… a veteran of the fight against the Russians during World War II…”
Goes to show how little history Canada’s House of Commons members know, since the Soviet Union was our ally during WWII, which would mean Yaroslav Hunka was fighting against us.
George Soros is smiling.
Not only is he smiling, but all the Nazis who emigrated to the Allied countries. Some had fake Jewish passports and some
were welcomed.
NASA anyone?
They are not hiding it anymore because they believe they have total power. It’s in our face…these people ARE Nazi’s! It is obvious! They are the enemy!
Nice picture of Putin…
He has said in many speeches the West has lost all moral authority.
After this, who is going to argue that he is wrong?
They mocked him for insisting on De-Nazification.
Gipper, I see Tucker Carlson who was trying to arrange an interview with Putin has said that he has been forbidden to do so by the US government.
That’s all I have seen…just a quote posted in a tweet by someone else.
I am watching for any verification of this but so far have seen none.
I wonder, if true, how the government has managed to “forbid” him. Threats to him or, more likely, his family? And even more likely threatened him if he addresses the putative despotic order to sit down, shut up, and never refer to his attempt again. We will see…or not.
Who is the authoritarian dictator now?
Yes–the LAST thing they want is President Putin talking directly to Americans. Those cockroaches couldn’t stand that kitchen light.
“In October 2010, it was announced that The Gulag Archipelago would become required reading for all Russian high school students. In a meeting with Solzhenitsyn’s widow, Putin described The Gulag Archipelago as “essential reading”: “”Without the knowledge of that book, we would lack a full understanding of our country and it would be difficult for us to think about the future.”
What more need be said? In Vladimir Putin’s Russia, the greatest classic of anti-communist literature is now compulsory reading in all the high schools of the nation. If the same could be said of the high schools of the United States, we would not have the endemic historical and political ignorance that has led to the widespread sympathy for communism among young Americans. In the light of this, and in the light of Putin’s evident admiration for Solzhenitsyn, let’s not try to pretend that Russia is a communist nation. We don’t need to like Vladimir Putin. We don’t need to admire him. But we do need to acknowledge that Russia has moved on from the evils of socialism, even as we are in danger of embracing those very same evils.” …….

Thank you, my friend. I had not realized this.
I am sorry that Andrei of the Saker had to shut down his essential site.
It was recommended to me by another Treeper. And it was there where I was able to listen to Putin’s speeches which he gave from the start of the war instigated by the government and the Military Industrial Complex in this country. Speeches which I could find nowhere else.
Fortunately there are a few still available. I’ll leave a couple here which date as far back as last year which are nonetheless quite interesting from an historical perspective. For those interested…

Well Betsy, the USA was founded and based on Christianity.
Can you look at the USA, or any country, and claim they are specifically Christian?
Even the USA looks like Sodom and Gomorrah with the debauchery the people have allowed to spread, corrupt, mire, twist, and pervert in their claim of virtue signaling false morality that Christ would bitch slap them for.
Everything that has been done has been to destroy Christianity, men and the nuclear family, morals and basic understanding for indoctrination of insanities that lead away from God and the peace of a life in this world. Most often using their favorite weapon of choice fear as it robs reason.
You are exactly right. They are out to destroy men, elevate women, seduce the children and mock Christianity. They are making good progress. We all need to stand up against all of these devices to destroy America. Personally, in my little neck of the woods I am writing letters to the editor of our paper. Some of them actually get published. The way I look at it is one person has to read the letter, so my message is at least getting through to one person. But sometimes they publish my letter and it gets out to more people. I am sometimes amazed that they published my letter but I think God has a hand in this.
I do as well, Joan.
My husband and I were just speaking about this. Your points we agree with..and in fact I made the same ones elsewhere…on the Open Thread if memory serves.
God hasn’t left us…this country has left Him. And now we know what our Republic feels like without Him in it, per the apocryphal quote of Benjamin Franklin.
As an example which I am loath to post, men in San Francisco are committing sexual acts on the streets in broad daylight…in groups.
How this has happened relatively quickly is amazing to me.
I often wonder if the retired “Justice” Kennedy who opened the floodgates allowing the deluge of immoral perversions to seep out of every dark corner and crevice of this country ever experiences regrets.
It’s in our faces, our schools, in our churches…everywhere we cannot escape from it.
I heard Putin’s speech, which I looked for but could not find. Instead every link was dedicated to demonizing his correct statement…we are a debauched nation now by virtue of every administration incrementally removing God from the public square.
And as a result we are paying a terrifying and hideous price. Is this what hell is? The absence of God.
Absolutely.
Well, hey. It has the virtue of honesty and that’s something in this upside down, wrong is right world we currently live in.
Lol…they always loved the NAZIs…..because they ARE NAZI….
NO MERCY

Nice pick up Spartan Dave
My husband is reading “Bloodlands” and that has changed his perception of Germany and the Ukraine.
A tough read but these things really happened. There is huge blowback in Canada about this.
Sometimes I see stuff these days that makes me feel like the old drunk in a black and white film that witnesses something transpire so unbelievable that he glances down at his bottle of rotgut, shakes his head and throws the bottle away. Communists, Hebrews and national socialists, oh my..
The Canadian parliament stood and applauded an SS Nazi on Yom Kippur. My wife is a Jew. I know where we stand in this nation. Time to get out.
To go where? Our loons in the gov’t love the crap out of the Banderites..
I will say 100% didn’t have any clue – the people who wrote his bio that was used to introduce him as a Canadian WW2 vet /hero whatever etc , have now been transferred to the slede dog weighing station in the Upper Yukon …
A reason to move – if they could screw this simple thing up so badly , just think what they do with the harder problems …
I don’t blame you for being terrified to stay in Canada with this Fascist government honoring Nazi war criminals now on a high Jewish holy day. If you move to the US be sure to go to a Red state where you can still buy a gun and defend your family. That will be illegal in Blue states in the near future, even if the Supreme Court rules this to be illegal.
Just like the actors in our Congress, they’ll stand up and clap for anything they think will show themselves in a “good” light. All of them were clueless? Just like all of our Congress would be.
Haven’t seen any polls for our Congress lately, but in my circles, it’s running at about -10%
So Chrystia Freeland the Deputy PM whose grandpa was a nazi collaborator, arranges for a Ukrainian Waffen SS
veteran to get a standing ovation in parliament. Oh, Trudeau is throwing the Speaker under the bus
but all invitees are vetted by his office and the only Ukrainian in cabinet with ties to the Blood and Soil nazi movement is Freeland.
Trudeau has a penchant for honouring folks that were/are Canada’s enemies:
Gave a Taliban “veteran” $10+ million and an apology for “violating his rights”.
Fought like a rabid rat to deny wounded Canadian Afghanistan vets benefits.
Refused to extradite a sikh terrorist “veteran” belonging to the same outfit that killed 340 Canadians and runs the Western dope trade..
Threw a hissy fit when that “veteran” got lit up by supposed Indian agents.
Did you know that Edmonton Alberta has two statues honouring Ukrainian Waffen SS vets and Oakville Ontario has another? Statues of Lord Halifax, John A MacDonald, Dundas, Queen Victoria et al had to come down faster than an plaque to Lee’s horse though. “Beekuz raysizum”. Statues of guys that massacred thousands of Polish and jewish civilians are fine though. No “raysizum” there, yeh?
A similar connection to Ukraine … the chick (can’t find her name) running the failing DeSantis & bushCARTEL’s Presidency Campaign … previously worked in Ukraine and directly for the zComedian.
> be a Nazi: evil
> become an immigrant: hero
I just can’t keep up with the Narrative LoL
Oh my, look at the zeal with which Christia Freeland is applauding the Nazi.
Minister Needs to Come Clean About Her Nazi Collaborationist GrandfatherDeputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland’s electoral base is in Canada’s Ukrainian diaspora community, which has rebranded Nazi collaborators as nationalist war heroes
On Jan. 26, 2022, in the midst of Russia’s preparations to invade Ukraine, Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland issued a statement outlining why Canada—home to the largest Ukrainian diaspora outside Russia—would support Ukraine unconditionally, outlining a Manichean view of a “struggle between democracy and authoritarianism.” “Canadians—our own parents and grandparents—fought and died,” she continued, “to establish a rules-based international order during and after the Second World War.”
Freeland’s Ukrainian grandfather on her mother’s side, Michael Chomiak, did nothing of the sort. During the War, he edited Krakivski Visti, a Nazi propaganda rag in occupied Krakow that was printed on a press confiscated from a Jewish newspaper.

An interesting an eye opening book on the Nazi’s after WWII was written by John Loftus. Some of you old timers like me will remember John Loftus being on 60 minutes back around 1980, talking about the whereabouts of many Nazi’s. The book is America’s Nazi Secrets.
How many people had to have signed off on that “blunder”?
When there is no penalty for people in positions of public trust committing gross errors, even by mistake, it is way too easy for nations to crumble.
How will they Spin this … hmmm? -pretty tough -Probably try to quickly move on and ignore it as much as possible —- And sure that behind the scenes they are giving Canadian Hell to their staffs for such a public FUBAR moment …just a guess …
BTW this was probably an inevitable result when you have 2o year old something staffers who can order a Starbucks super special from memory but don’t know the French Revolution from the Russian Revolution nor very much about WW2 other what they saw in “Saving Private Ryan” on cable and that beach somewhere in France … (sarcasm)
It seems that a number of “MPs” are really sorry for this incident. Hopefully that includes 100% of the Conservative caucus.
I would hope that the same number are very sorry for inviting that disgusting piece of filth in the green outfit (not fair to the memories of the State Farm commercial to use the term ‘khakis’ lol)
The real tell over the next couple of days is if there is a vote of no confidence in the House. Between this disgusting act and the (latest) India fiasco (plus others), it should be coming forthwith.
Expect a snap election, or ALL those disgusting “MPs” should be dealt with in our own style.
HONK HONK HONK
House of Common idiots! The spirit of stupid directs the actions of those “leaders”.
jawohl
I zee nothin, NOTHIN!!
Nuzzink!
When I originally saw this I was struck by how the world has turned. They (the enemy/commies/Dems/liberals/progressives) are now honoring the Jew killing Nazis of WWII. Considering the pro attacks on the Jews in the US/world this latest move shouldn’t be a surprise. Even US Jews are now pro Nazi with their support of Ukraine.
When a country doesn’t teach history then it will be repeated.
“Conservative Party members can stand with people who wave swastikas”
-Justin Trudeau gaslighting on Anti-lockdown protests 16 Feb 2022
Canada has become an immensely ignorant and stupid country. I ought to know; I was born & raised here and have watched the degradation unfold, with intense acceleration of same since Trudeau, an intellectual lightweight to put it mildly, was first elected. The Ukraine fervor is as intense here as it is in Washington. Ukraine = good. Russia = bad. That’s the extent of the discourse. Even our opposition parties applauded, apparently. Nobody but nobody in that room stopped, scratched their head and thought, wait a minute.. if he fought against Russia in WWII…. that means he fought for … !
Weep not for us, we’re not worth the effort.
So true – history can be so confusing -I just learned from a friend last week that the Russians were on OUR side in WW2 , what do you know about that ! (Sarcasm )
AND that good little Finland was Allied with Nazi Germany for a time in WW2 to fight the Russians in the North in the siege of Leningrad (now St Petersburg) , but that the USA never declared war on Finland – boy is it confusing …
Finland was only nominally allied with Nazi Germany. Their beef was with USSR trying to invade them, and that theatre was essentially localized. Not much outside involvement as I recall. I think after the fighting cooled down there, Finland reverted to being effectively neutral. Finland & Sweden were stuck in a bad spot, really. Nazis in Norway to one side of them, USSR to the other side, and no real pathway for any of the other Allies to do much of anything. Plus, Finland & Russia had some long-standing grievances and, again IIRC, USSR used the pretext of the larger war to attempt to stomp on Finland, when in reality that conflict had little if anything to do with the larger war.
Sorry I know my history -not blaming Finland , their actions were self preservation , luckily they had a strong military leader in Mannerheim who managed to navigate an almost impossible situation . Just saying history is complicated – Finland in So called “ Continuation War “ after 1941 was a Co belligerent with Germany in attacking Russia ( the Leningrad sector and recovering land they lost to Russia when they were attacked by Russia in 1939 – winter war ) – when Russia later went on offensive , they were able to blunt the Russian counterattack enough for Stalin to decide wasn’t worth it and made a truce with them – But they had give up land again on their border with Russia and to declare war on Germany and to attack the German troops then in Lapland .. Finland managed to survive and not succumb to the same Fate as the Baltic countries of Estonia , Latvia etc or become a puppet like Poland or Romania etc etc It was their toughness and Real Politic acumen of Mannerheim that saved them from that fate
Btw in that official looking picture (assuming that is him ) in his uniform , he is wearing an Iron Cross Medal – I know there were different degrees of that medal , wonder what he got it for and he looks like might be an officer ? He could have been a brave frontline soldier fighting for the wrong side or one committing atrocities against civilian populations on account of partisan activities —YJDK – but a major Blunder in any event – so bad
Actually , this fellow was probably lucky to survive -many anti Russian units that were recruited from anti communist ethnic /national groups ~ like a Cossack unit – that fought against the Russians for the Germans /Nazis , and even managed to move West and surrender, mainly to the British – were soon turned over to the Russians and immediately executed by their NKVD or sent to a Gulag ..Reading the retribution history of WW2 is very unsettling …..
Lucky to be alive.
Much like a prisoner (Jewish or otherwise) with a number tattooed on their arms that didn’t make it to the final stage of chambers is “Lucky to be Alive” too, I guess.
“The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep’s for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty. Plainly, the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of liberty.” – Abraham Lincoln
Just an observation – do you think all those privates in those units deserved to be summarily shot in back of the neck by Stalin’s NKVD or should they have been treated as regular POWs – Lincoln quote? … sorry no go on that
BTW – The Answer to my photo question – – is by GPol on page 3 _ THAT isn’t‘ even a photo of him but a different guy – a Danish Waffen SS Nazi who died in 2015 apparently – Pol has a supposed photo of the Canadian guy who looks like a private /low rank in a group photo – sourcing on that ? – but how did completely wrong photo get in the top here ?? Where did that come from ?
How come he hasn’t been tracked down?
The Ukrainian Nazi units were the leading killers of Jews, Gypsies and Russians during the war if I remember my history correctly. They relished the policy so they could settle old vendettas within their region and were much more aggressive than other German Nazis when it came to killing their enemies.
Yugoslavia, with its ethnic groups and choosing sides – like Croatia vs Serbia- was not that much different in internecine bloodletting – atrocities on all sides . ..
Oopppss, the boy king and the king of the Ukraine scammery show their dumbness to one and all.

Thank you again Founders for running them out in 1777.
Apologizing is used by the leftist a lot these days. Not sincere in the least but it’s the thought that counts when used.
I’m serious when I use sincere my ass.
That’s confusing at first.
The Russians were actually fighting the German attack on Russia in WWII, while enjoying the tyranny of Stalin at home.
So, yes, if this Ukrainian war hero was fighting Russia, he was fighting with Germany.

Jewish groups condemn Canadian parliament for honoring Ukrainian Nazi veteran
Activists have demanded an explanation after former Waffen SS fighter Yaroslav Hunka was celebrated by lawmakers in Ottawa
The Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center (FSWC), which is dedicated to educating people on the Holocaust and combating anti-Semitism, wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that it was “appalled” by the celebration of a veteran who had served in a Nazi unit responsible for the mass murder of Jews and others.
Yeah…the Jews were NOT the only ones brutalized during WWII – I wish they’d remember that. Doubtful, though.
was this an agenda item or impromptu festivity?
