    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.
