| 'Canada saluting a Ukrainian Nazi was no accident |
| 2023-09-29 |
| [RT] The stomach-churning scene of the Canadian parliament giving a standing ovation three days ago to a former Waffen SS Nazi has by now made the rounds on the internet. ...Two days later, Rota issued an apology for lauding the man, saying he had "recognized an individual in the gallery" and had subsequently become aware of "more information which causes me to regret my decision to do so." Just to be clear — since Rota was not — the individual he meekly referred to was Yaroslav Hunka, and the information which made Rota remorseful was that Hunka had been a voluntary member of 1st Galician Division of the Waffen SS — you know, the one accused of mass murdering Poles, Jews and Ukrainians in Ukraine and Poland, as well as committing other atrocities. Whereas Rota claims he was unaware of Hunka's service as a Nazi, given that he had also praised Hunka for fighting "for Ukrainian independence against the Russians," one can assume this is the service he referred to. ...There is much to be said about Canada's history with Ukrainian Nazis. Not only did it take them in after WW2, but the government-backed Ukrainian Canadian Congress, which, until recently, listed Nazi-collaborator veterans organizations as members, as well as government-funded Ukrainian ’youth centers’ that celebrate Nazi collaborators like Stepan Bandera and Roman Shukhevich. There are even monuments honoring Nazi collaborators and Ukrainian Insurgent Army criminals still standing in Canadian cities. Canada has also supported modern-day Nazis in Ukraine itself, by training members of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion on Canadian soil, although Canadian corporate media has in recent years attempted to downplay this. Radio Canada reported in April 2022 that the Canadian Armed Forces, "did contribute to the training of soldiers of the Azov regiment in 2020, to the point where this unit is now boasting of being able to train its own soldiers according to Western standards." The Ottawa Citizen, writing about this report, cited a 2017 briefing by Canada’s Joint Task Force Ukraine as saying, "Multiple members of Azov have described themselves as Nazis." Well "Ukraine" was invented by bolsheviks. So Canada just continues its old "Liberal" traditions. |

| #5 ^Nobody is impartial. But, compared to Ukrainians - with their stupid lies that get debunked in 24 hours - RT is practically St. Irenaeus. |
