"Fought Russia in WWII" hmmm 🤔

I mean, there were others fighting the Russians, too.
- Perhaps he was an Italian fascist instead
- If the guy was Finnish I'd high five the shit out of him
  (Actually, even that gets dicey. WW2 was kind of a mess)

Absolutely fucking not. Waffen-SS members are war criminals not hapless stooges.

- That’s neither here nor there. The Canadian government’s complicity only implicates Canada and clears no one.
You are painting an overly simplified picture. Look up Günter Grass if you don't believe me.
TLDR: He non forcefully signed up for the SS, although disagreeing with the Nazis. Later he became a nobel prize winning author and member of the famous Group 47. In his publications he tries to get people to think for themselves - not exactly nazi doctrine.
- Nazi apologia. It doesn’t matter how many books he wrote or how good they were.
  Here’s how I read it: His Nazi past wasn’t discovered until after receiving literary awards, which was embarrassing to the literati, so they tried to whitewash him.
- That smells like heey out of the 750.000 killing psychopaths, there were that one not absolutely bad person so let's not judge them too hastily.
  SS scum should rot in a damp prison cell for 1.000 years and then another 1.000.
- No.
  We should judge the ones who are left with extreme prejudice and they should desperately be explaining themselves and proving that they actually sabotaged the SS and Nazi empire from within, if they are to regain any humanity.

Context for people not from Canada?

Someone in the govt got a old Ukranian dude to speak to the parlement, and they all applauded him for fighting Russia in WW2, forgetting that the people who faught Russia in WW2 were the Nazis.
They had accidentally invited a literal Nazi to speak, and applauded him for it.
- Canadian here. Minor correction: he didn't speak, but he was invited as a Ukrainian "hero" by the speaker of the house (a member of the sitting elected party). He was applauded - twice - for his "service". Including by Ukrainian president zelensky.
  The only 'defense' I can offer is that our prime minister had no input on the matter, and Hunka's Nazi service came out after the fact. Canada does not support fascism or Nazism...
  But it's a bad look, no matter how you cut it...
- the people who faught Russia in WW2 were the Nazis.
  Not all of them though. Division of Poland and Winter War come to mind.
- It wasn't acidental btw. His own granddaughter posted that he met with Zelensky and Trudeau before. Also he lived in Canada for long, all of them were one short inquiry of getting to know who he is, and that's why they have assistants etc. Sure, the western politicians have mostly shit for brains, but not one of 300 people even said "wait a minute".
I'm not from Canada either
Edit: I have since disavowed this instance
- "Man who caught for a nazi unit"
  Let me fix that for you:
  "A Nazi who fought for Adolp Hitler"
  Why are facho news like reverse clickbaity so often?
- You can get stickers! https://mistersunshinebaby-5569.myshopify.com/products/i-did-nazi-that-coming-stickers

Can anybody explain to me what is up with Canada and a Nazi, I have been quite enjoying my rock for a couple of months.

The Canadian parlement did a standing ovation for a ukrainian solidier who was an ex nazi in WW2
- Actually a current Nazi in WW2. It's arguable if he's an ex Nazi now
Some guy in parliament grabbed a Ukrainian who fought the Russians in WWII to make a show for Zelensky visiting parliament, without stopping to consider who the Ukrainians that fought the Russians in WWII were.
Canada let the mask slip.
- No

Isn't he being extradited now? TF he was doing, coming out hiding.

Poland only send out an unofficial request because of lack of evidence iirc.

This shouldn't be surprising given:

One of the ways of getting into Canada during the postwar period “was by showing the SS tattoo,” Canadian historian Irving Abella told “60 Minutes” interviewer Mike Wallace. “This proved that you were an anti-Communist.”

The Canadian government hasn't really changed. Some high up government officials are the children and grandchildren of Nazi war criminals: https://www.google.com/amp/s/ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/chrystia-freelands-granddad-was-indeed-a-nazi-collaborator-so-much-for-russian-disinformation/wcm/11196169-fd23-4643-94b4-08039235c595/amp/

Liberals always side with fascists over communists/socialists when push comes to shove.
- Sit down Bougevik

As a Canadian this is totally embarrassing but atleast we don't consider him a national hero like some nazis in America...

Or consider Dictators as heros and gods like Russia, China, India and North Korea does.

Lmao.

If you give a standing ovation to a nazi, you are a nazi.

He wasn't introduced as a nazi, none of those MP's knew the truth about who they were standing for, and they wouldn't have if they did. Somebody didn't do background research, and old nazi never should have been anywhere near parliament. It's incompetence all around.
- He was introduced as having fought the Russians during WW2, there's literally only one option as to what side that leaves him on. Either parliament is completely devoid of the most basic history education, or they knew damn well what they were applauding.
- That's politics for you

But don't you know, talking about this is Russian propaganda. Look, listen to Trudeau, he says you shouldn't talk about this and instead fight back against Russian propaganda without missing a beat in the same sentence as he's apologising. https://youtu.be/ApEx_UOwJR8

Look, listen to Trudeau, he says you shouldn't talk about this
Was the video you linked to supposed to substantiate this claim?
- What do you feel the implication is when he says it's important to push back against Russian propaganda when asked about applauding Nazis?
