OTTAWA – Several Jewish advocacy organizations condemned members of Parliament on Sunday for giving a standing ovation to a man who fought for a Nazi unit during the Second World War. During Ukr...
Yeah everybody is talking about the soldier and the unit he was in and what they may have done and whether he should be shunned for fighting for the nazis. (Imo yes). But really it’s more egregious that there is so little oversight that something like this can happen, because they certainly wouldn’t have done it if they had KNOWN that he swore an oath to Hitler. It really isn’t that hard to think about looking into. It’s embarrassing that our government goofed like this.
What gets me is that the timing is so critical too. If you have this huge visit from zelensky I would have thought there would be tight scrutiny over honoring Nazis 😂
Opposite problem. He was a Ukrainian who fought against the Russians in WW2. Obviously some moron in North Bay thought “oh, we should celebrate our guy when the heroic Ukrainian president who fought the Russians comes!”
If Zelenskyy had never come, this debacle wouldn’t have happened.
Trudeau probably pulled a lot of strings to get Zelenskyy to come and endorse him. That was probably not a trivial bit of political work. And now, instead of Zelenskyy’s visit and celebration of Trudeau’s support for Ukraine and opposition to tyranny, the story is this mess instead.
Do they not do any research at all before these kinds of events? This is incredibly badly judged.
