Rest home for the wicked (Canada allows many ex-Nazis living in the country to live in "peace")

Oh well, there goes Canada's pretension to moral superiority.

[NZerFromHK]

Ping!

[DogBarkTree]

but, but, but they have free health care.

[wvobiwan]

Let me guess, as long as they vote Martin and liberals?

[Alexander Rubin]

Somehow, I think Canadians will continue to cling to their pretension of moral superiority.

Oy.

[SJackson]

If you'd like to be on or off this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.

Sweden or Argentina would have been better, but for a Nazi, Canada was a good choice. Time passes, live and let live, why punish old killers, all that good stuff.

[NZerFromHK]

Full marks.

[Fair Go]

Now you know that Canada's mission is to save the world. Besides, if you want to be truly multicultural, you have to accept all types.

[Sam Gamgee]

How can degenerates have morals?

There was a case years back of a known Nazi criminal who was facing deportation. His Church stood up for him. Can you believe that? I am a Christian but I would be appalled if my Church wanted to stop a criminal from getting his due justice. It embarrassed me that his Church wanted him to be forgiven. What nonsense. God does ask us to forgive. But he didn't tell us to suspend the human justice system.

Canada might become pathetic if it can just rise above to the level of some significance.

[The_Englishman]

Is there really any need for this? It's turning into a childish vendetta and NOT the way Christians and Conservatives should treat one another.

[Lessingham]

So all of these people are uniquely guilty, you think. Let me ask you whether the Americans who sent Russians to their deaths in Operation Keelhaul should be hunted down as war criminals today? Some of them witnessed Russians committing suicide on the trains they were packing them in and thus they knew their fate was very bleak. How are they all that different from these people? Yes, the Nazi regime is one of the worst the world has ever seen. But war crimes of a horrendous sort were committed by our side and even more by the Soviets in WWII. Victors' justice and incredibly stupid for the most part is how I see this.

[ONETWOONE]

OH CANADA....

[familyop]

Quite a few of them settled near Edmonton. Most of the Nazis who still live there are first-generation descendents, who are in their 60s and 70s.

[ozzymandus]

How many former KGB and GRU murderers have beenbrought to justice? None?

[Fair Go]

I don't think any comments are intended for Christian and Conservative Canadians. Just those Canadians who excuse events like 9/11, Bali etc. If you take the trouble to read today's papers you will find Canucks criticising the Australian Government for adopting anti-terrorism laws. Terrorists have blown up Australians and 74% of Australians want that protection. The low-life that criticises a country for protecting its citizens deserves whatever is thrown at it.

[The_Englishman]

But how many of those types of Canadians are likely to be on here, FRiend?

Maybe I'm being over-sensitive but there just seems to be an awful lot of squabbling between Brits, Aussies, Canucks, Indians on FR at the moment.

[Fair Go]

Make no mistake. They may not post but they do read.

[Sam Gamgee]

LOL.

[Sam Gamgee]

So a gypsy and a jew killer should go free? Fry him. In fact the entire German people of that generation are culpable. If they didn't know about the death camps, they damn well knew that Jews were being dispossessed and did sweet F all.

I don't deny that we did some dastardly things, but that argument doesn't change the fact that our cause was just. Theirs was not.
