You’ve probably heard by now about the Canadian Parliament’s Nazi problem. Earlier this week, alongside Justin Trudeau and fetish comedian V. Zelensky who were grinning like chimpanzees and clapping like trained seals, the full Canadian Parliament honored an
actual Nazi SS soldier wanted for war crimes in Poland … because he “fought against the Russians.”
Heil Hitler! Or something.
That’s probably true. He probably did fight against the Russians. The Nazis and the Russians fought extensively after Hitler broke their mutual agreement to split Ukraine and Poland.
The Candians officially declared the 98-year-old Nazi war criminal “a Ukrainian hero, and a Canadian hero.” Yaroslav Hunka served with the First Ukrainian Division, previously known as the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the Nazi Party’s Schutzstaffel (SS) military branch during the Second World War.
As you know, or can easily imagine, the entire Canadian parliament standing with Trudeau and Zelensky wildly applauding a known Nazi soldier was not a good look and a political fracas has predictably ensued. This may cool the ministers’ enthusiasm a little for funding Ukraine.
On Monday, Canadian Parliament Speaker Anthony Rota, who glowingly introduced Hunka, threw himself under the bus, claiming that he
and he alone was responsible for the mixup, it could have happened to anyone, a simple error in judgment, mistakes made on both sides and so forth, and he
apologized.
Apparently that wasn’t good enough. One day later, yesterday, to a mostly-empty parliament, Rota announced his immediate resignation as Speaker and his “profound regret” for causing pain to “certain communities”:
CLIP: Nazi-loving Speaker steps down as Speaker of Canadian Parliament (1:47).
Then Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who infamously called the Canadian truckers “Nazis,” humbly accepted Rota’s resignation and blamed … Putin!
CLIP: Trudeau blames Russia for honoring Nazi war criminal (0:47).
But wait! It gets even better. Poland announced yesterday that it has now asked Canada to extradite Mr. Hunka to be tried in that country for Nazi war crimes, putting Canada in a real political pickle.
“In view of the scandalous events in the Canadian Parliament, which involved honoring, in the presence of President Zelenskyy, a member of the criminal Nazi SS Galizien formation, I have taken steps towards the possible extradition of this man to Poland,” said Poland’s Education Minister Przemysław Czarnek.
Many folks have pointed out a missing voice: the so-called Jewish Anti-Defamation League, which went
radio silent in the wake of the Canadian Nazi scandal. These days, the ADL seems more like a woke political money-laundering operation than anything else.
The question is, will this be the straw that breaks Castro-lookalike Justin Trudeau’s back? Can woke liberal prime ministers publicly cheer for Nazi soldiers in 2023 and get away with it?
I report, you decide.
I explain the new judgment against Trump; Biden's legal problems balloon; Gov Abbot promises more alien buses; LA county drops mandates; SADS pilot, sitcom star; Canadian Nazi updates; more.
