How Did Former Nazis End Up in Canada?
On Sept. 22, Canadian members of Parliament gave a standing ovation in the House of Commons for a former member of the Waffen SS, a Nazi division accused of war crimes during World War II.
The incident, which has now taken centre stage in Canadian politics, happened during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit to Parliament as Russia’s war against Ukraine rages on. The man in question, Ukrainian-Canadian Yaroslav Hunka, was called “a Canadian hero” by Speaker of the House Anthony Rota and was also thanked for his military service.

OK.‘Speaker should listen to members of the House and step down’: Melanie Joly
OTTAWA — Senior Liberals are now calling for House Speaker Anthony Rota to step down for honouring a man who fought for a Nazi unit during the Second World War in the House of Commons.
Speaking on her way to a cabinet meeting on Tuesday morning, Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly said the incident was completely unacceptable and an embarrassment to the House of Commons. She said it is time for him to leave his post.
They’re eating their own.
Biden Helped Incite India Crisis With Canada
The short version of the story is that Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Sikh nationalist figure, was killed in Canada. According to India, he’s a terrorist. The Trudeau government decided to incite a diplomatic crisis by accusing India of killing him. But the basis for some of this crisis seems to have come from the Biden administration.
John Robson: The Irresponsible Ignorance of Applauding a Nazi Soldier Extends Well Beyond History
If you were to compile a short list of basic political do’s and don’ts, “Don’t applaud a Nazi” would be pretty high up, right? Che Guevara T-shirts are cool. But swastikas? Don’t go there. So how did our entire House of Commons get it wrong?
Well, my own list of political maxims, more strategic than tactical, would include “Study history.” Or nowadays “Study history, don’t erase it.” And it’s pretty clear that none of them realized if someone fought the Russians during World War II he wasn’t on our side. Unless he was Finnish or Polish before 1941, an aside on which I would not want to quiz these Solons.

Was the Canadian parliament wrong to applaud Yaroslav Hunka?
The truth about the 98-year-old Ukrainian former Nazi is complicated
Justin Trudeau’s government has been forced to apologise to Canadian Jewish organisations, after House Speaker Anthony Rota honoured a 98-year-old war veteran — who then turned out to have fought under the Nazis.
The incident occurred following a visit to the Canadian government by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Rota called out Yaroslav Hunka, a veteran sitting in the gallery, prompting a round of applause. Then someone dug up a blog post Hunka wrote in 2011 describing his wartime service — under Hitler.

A catastrophic Washington Post poll so awful for Biden that editors buried it.
The writing’s on the wall for Sleepy Joe Biden.
Even the Washington Post knows his re-election chances are dropping like the Hindenburg, loath though they are to admit it.
This weekend, a poll by the Lefty DC newspaper showed Donald Trump to be absolutely spanking the current commander in chief by 10 points, 52 percent to 42 percent among registered voters, should they face off in 2024.
Trudeau a coke fiend?

Senior Liberals believe Anthony Rota should step aside, Radio-Canada sources say
Multiple Liberal cabinet ministers say they believe Anthony Rota’s days as House of Commons Speaker are numbered, Radio-Canada has learned.
That Rota is still in the job causes discomfort in the Liberal caucus, sources told Radio-Canada, after he invited a Ukrainian veteran who fought in a Nazi unit to watch Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s speech to Parliament on Friday.
The opposition parties could force a vote on a motion in the House of Commons calling for the Speaker to step down. If that happens, several influential members of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet told Radio-Canada they can’t imagine a scenario where Liberal MPs would vote to save Rota’s skin.
Gotta protect Junior.
Here’s a blast from the past … The Chrystia Freeland Affair
What is extraordinary in this video where @karinagould is asking for history to be rewritten (for the Hansard to strike the Speaker's fulsome praise for the Nazis) is Chrystia Freeland's reaction nodding vigorously. This is right out of Orwell's 1984 where history is constantly… pic.twitter.com/k4c6Aj1RNO

CBC’s real estate portfolio valued at over $400M: documents
The CBC owns nearly half a billion dollars in real estate holdings, according to recently released documents, with more than two-thirds of the value comprised of its expansive downtown Toronto broadcasting centre.
A response to a May 2023 order paper question submitted by Conservative MP Adam Chambers about the government-owned broadcaster lists 12 corporation-owned properties across the country, a portfolio worth $444,414,469.
You could solve the homeless crisis with all that real estate.
The ridiculous Liberals have shamed Canada by honouring a Nazi in Parliament
Liberals, Socialists and other progressives often claim that Conservatives are in bed with the far right and Nazis. This repulsive term is sometimes used to describe Conservatives themselves.
Well, that’s not going to work anymore. The political left can thank Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals for this after they unwittingly honoured a Nazi in Parliament.
