The trip to Canada by Ukrainian President Zelensky was meant to divert from his lackluster United Nations and US Congress appearances, and give Kiev some semblance of a victorious Foreign Relations moment.
To do that, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau had his guest come to a special Parliament session, in which ‘he was interrupted by standing ovations seven times’ – as the MSM lore goes.
However, Zelensky and Trudeau have unwittingly detonated a PR bomb that is hurting both of their reputations, and exposed the horrible reality of the Nazi ties of the Ukrainian ‘banderite’ regime.
The unforced error was to bring 98-year-old Ukrainian immigrant Yaroslav Hunka, who fought for the First Ukrainian Division. That Nazi division was also known as the Waffen-SS Galicia Division.
Yes, all the parliament honored a Nazi with a stand-up ovation.
Fox News reported:
“Canadian Jewish organizations and social media critics are slamming the Canadian Parliament for giving a man who fought for the Nazis a standing ovation during an event featuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to the country.
‘FSWC is appalled that Canada’s Parliament gave a standing ovation to a Ukrainian veteran who served in a Nazi military unit during the Second World War implicated in the mass murder of Jews and others. An apology and explanation is owed’, the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Canadian nonprofit dedicated to educating people on the Holocaust, wrote on X, previously known as Twitter.”
Parliament erupted into cheers honoring Yaroslav Hunka, which fought for the Nazis as its paramilitary arm.
“‘The fact that a veteran who served in a Nazi military unit was invited to and given a standing ovation in Parliament is shocking. At a time of rising antisemitism and Holocaust distortion, it is incredibly disturbing to see Canada’s Parliament rise to applaud an individual who was a member of a unit in the Waffen-SS, a Nazi military branch responsible for the murder of Jews and others and that was declared a criminal organization during the Nuremberg Trials’, the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center continued in their statement.”
Social media erupted condemning the Canadian House for celebrating Hunka, who some called a ‘literal Nazi’ and ‘monster’.
Trudeau, guess what? Deflected and laid the blame elsewhere. In this case, with the Speaker of the House.
“Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office said in a statement to Fox News Digital on Sunday that the ‘Speaker of the House has apologized and accepted full responsibility for issuing the invitation and for the recognition in Parliament’.”
But it’s too late: the cat is out of the bag, and everyone is getting to know about the reality of Nazis in Ukraine
Speaker of the House Anthony Rota apologized Sunday for honoring Hunka.
CBC reported:
“‘I have subsequently become aware of more information which causes me to regret my decision to [honour Hunka]. I wish to make clear that no one, including fellow parliamentarians and the Ukraine delegation, was aware of my intention or of my remarks before I delivered them’, Rota said.
‘I particularly want to extend my deepest apologies to Jewish communities in Canada and around the world’, he added.”
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre accused Trudeau of being responsible, and called for him to apologize.
Sputnik reported:
“Canadian opposition leader Pierre Poilievre demanded a personal apology from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for inviting and honoring Ukrainian Nazi veteran Yaroslav Hunka, who fought in the ranks of the 14th SS Division during the Second World War, to a parliamentary meeting on Friday.
[…] “No parliamentarians (other than Justin Trudeau) had the opportunity to vet this individual’s past before he was introduced and honoured on the floor of the House of Commons. Without warning or context, it was impossible for any parliamentarian in the room (other than Mr. Trudeau) to know of this dark past. Mr. Trudeau must personally apologize and avoid passing the blame to others as he always does,” Poilievre said on X, formerly known as Twitter.”
In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Trudeau Faces Hard Pushback After Honoring SS Fighter on Parliament – Mistake by Globalist Poster Boy Exposes Ukrainian Nazism to the World, Toddsterpatriot wrote: I'm not embarrassed by this thread in the least. You seem to be arguing that Stalin wasn't so bad, because he was fighting Nazis. Hitler was evil. Doesn't mean every Ukrainian who fought against Stalin was Hitler. I don't know who this guy was, he could have killed thousands of Jewish children (that would be very bad!) or maybe he killed thousands of Soviet child killers (that would be very good!)
Commies suck. Sorry if that makes you sad.
You are embarrassed by this thread - that's why you keep whining 'Russia Russia Russia' and trying to make it about 'communism'. Get that? A thread about Trudeau and Zelensky honoring Nazi's and you're sneering I must be defensive about commies.
It's called 'deflection' and you're not good at it.
DoD propagandists take this attack on their narrative quite seriously.
Disturbing, but not surprising to see Canada’s Parliament rise to applaud, not once but twice, an outright scumbag who was a Ukrainian veteran of the infamous 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the Nazi SS, a Nazi military branch responsible for the murder of Jews, Christians and others in political opposition.
Canada’s opposition leaders noted that Trudeau himself even had a meeting with Hunka before the event. Then, the Liberals planned for this Nazi scumbag to be recognized on the House of Commons floor during Zelensky’s visit and Zelensky of course stood with raised fist during the two standing ovations.
This wasn’t something spur of the moment, as the CYA moves indicate, it was all planned.
There you go defending the indefensible. Trudork shot himself in the foot and exposed the Ukrainonazi Regime.
Zeeper scumbags are allied with literal Nazis.
A desperate and long stretch on the first part, documented FACT on the second part. Yeah, Stalin was awful. Heinrich Himmler giving these a-holes rifles doesn’t excuse what they did with them...
Beyond disgusting that this person was allowed into any decent nation after da Big One.
This Zelensky TV character is about as Jewish as Whoopi Goldberg is.
Too Stupid to know what they’re doing
But he fought the Russians..../s
The Nazis were worse, obviously, because we aligned with the Soviets.
Did Trudeau tell Parliament this guy fought with the Waffen-SS Galicia Division , nope
Ukraine loves Nazis and neo-Nazis.
Only in a ass-backward world do two wrongs make a right.

Their colors are showing!
No, I'm really not. Putin sucks. If a group of Ukrainians wants to fight him wearing SS uniforms, I'm not going to lose any sleep over their sartorial decisions.
And we know the only ‘good nazis’ were the ones that built our space/rocket program.
And then the Soviets showed they were just as bad or worse.
If you needed evidence that everyone in govt is a PoS you need look no further than this.

You know it's not a costume! It's not 'sartorial decisions'. It's a reflection of the neo Nazi core of the Ukraine which Biden/Zelensky are protecting. How fitting that Zelensky just asked Abromovic, a Satanist, to be ambassador. It's disgusting to see Nazism and evil portrayed as 'sartorial decisions'.
Yes.
So does Zelensky.
So does Trudeau.

Uh…wow. I never thought I’d see such sentiments expressed on FR. I have no words.
but Trudeau loves the Nazi Klaus Schwab and his World Enslavement Forum
