Have they got shit for brains in the Canadian government?! Applauding someone fighting the Russians in the early 1940s? What possible side would that person be on?
What the fuck are they smoking up there? How can Canada have such stupid people in government? Canada fucking helped with the liberation of Europe at the time!
Astonishing!
Imagine if Trump had made this "mistake".
"Sieg Heil, everybody, sieg heil!"

Fucking tossers.
Well, when you paint all of your opponents as Nazis, it probably becomes difficult to distinguish the actual Nazis while you salute them and give them standing O's because... they aren't currently your opponents. Likely the vetting process went like this:
Trudeau - "This Hunka fellow... was he part of the Freedom Convoy? Does he wear a MAGA hat? Have we called him homophobic, transphobic, biphobic or misogynistic? Does he support the Conservative party?"
Speaker (of the House) - "No, no, no and good heavens no!"
Trudeau - "Well then he can't possibly be a Nazi. Let's honour him in parliament in front of Zelensky to show how strongly we stand with Ukraine. This is going to get us so many polling points that I may call another early election!"
Speaker - "Great idea, sir! I'll jot down some talking points including how he fought against our allies in WWII to read in parliament. Everybody loves a war hero!"
Trudeau - "Oh! Speaking of which, the 10 year anniversary of Fidel Castro's death is fast approaching and as you know, I think he was 'a remarkable leader'; let's honour him in parliament in 2026. I should still be here by then - I am so loved."
I've been reading comments from the other side on this and the argument seems to come down to Waffen-SS Galicia Division, or the SS 14th Waffen Division technically has not been found guilty of committing war crimes as a division during Nuremberg Trials (even though Waffen-SS as a whole clearly has). So there you have it, Russians are Nazi, real SS Nazis are not Nazis, War Is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery. Ignorance Is Strength.
Funny that Canuks are receiving flak for inviting and applauding a known Nazi, but no one is really questioning how a known Nazi managed to safely live in Canada all this time and how many other real SS Nazis Canada is still covering. Well, Poland seems to be catching up Poland seeks extradition of Ukrainian SS veteran who was applauded in Canada
