Conservatives stop Liberals from erasing recognition of Nazi war veteran from House of Commons record

Slimeball

OTTAWA — The Liberal government sought to erase from the record of the House of Commons the celebration of a Nazi war veteran during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit last Friday but that request was denied by the Conservatives who say to do so is “absolutely wrong.”

Government House leader Karina Gould stood up on Monday afternoon to ask for unanimous consent to adopt a motion calling to strike “from the appendix of the House of Commons debates” and from “any House multimedia recording” the recognition made by Speaker Anthony Rota of Yaroslav Hunka, 98, whom he described as “a Ukrainian hero, a Canadian hero.”

The Pressure Is On: Biden Has a Year To Pull Out a Success in Ukraine

Remember when your parents made you visit a cranky old person you never wanted to meet.

Everyone knows that a reasonable compromise is hovering over the war between Ukraine and Russia, so why are there no negotiations?

Some commentators have accused President Biden of invoking “the lessons of Munich,” in reference to the Ukraine War, and particularly of citing those lessons erroneously in his address to the United Nations last week. Meticulous scrutiny of his text discloses no reference to Munich or to the practice of “appeasement” in international relations.

How long can a country this decadent survive?

A friend of mine, whenever he sees my dog in his little harness, invariably asks the dog if he’s proud of his San Francisco styling. It’s a funny joke, and my dog and I get a good laugh every time, but behind the joke is a serious issue, and that’s how long our country can survive the decadence that’s taking over. The reason I bring this up is that the annual “Up Your Alley” Fair took place in San Francisco over the weekend. A freely available online publication has the photos, and it’s not pretty—and these are the photos that aren’t Triple-X rated.

Environmentalist Owner of Private Jet Forms “Planetary Guardians”

When we talk about saving the planet by raising taxes and eliminating the middle class, we often neglect to hear from the most important stakeholders, celebrities, politicians, and overhyped business figures. But one self-serving buffoon is finally committed to changing that by unveiling the Planetary Guardians.

Imagine ‘Captain Planet and the Planeteers’ if it consisted entirely of the Davos crowd and its only superpower was being invited to cocktail parties.

Why the West’s elites invented a permacrisis

Our desperate rulers are clinging on to a dying world

War, climate change, economic stagnation, political polarisation — there seems to be no shortage of crises these days. Indeed, the situation is so perilous that the rarely hysterical Financial Times last year named “polycrisis” one of its words of the year, defining it as “a cluster of related global risks with compounding effects, such that the overall impact exceeds the sum of each part”. The concept was initially popularised by Adam Tooze and has since been endorsed even by the World Economic Forum. The UN, for what it is worth, prefers to talk of “overlapping crises”.

UK Army called in after police firearms officers hand in their guns

Scotland Yard is negotiating with the Army to cover for armed officers who are refusing to carry guns, The Telegraph can reveal.

The Metropolitan Police has asked the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to provide resources after more than 100 firearms officers effectively walked off the job following the decision to charge one of their colleagues with murder.

It is understood military personnel could be asked to step in and cover for Counter Terrorism Specialist Firearms Officers, who are among those who are currently refusing to carry guns.

Canada’s long history of soft-pedalling the Ukrainian Waffen-SS Galicia Division

Recruiting poster 14th Waffen SS “Galicia” Division

If Canada was ever going to embarrass itself by having its Parliamentarians applaud the enthusiastic veteran of a Nazi combat unit, it’s almost inevitable that the unit would be the Waffen-SS Galicia Division.

Long before Galicia Division veteran Yaroslav Hunka ever scored an invite to Parliament Hill, Canada spent decades overlooking and even providing official cover for an organization that would later claim to be full of Ukrainian freedom-fighters, but was founded by Nazis, served under Nazi command and fought exclusively to serve Nazi aims.

The Pope is wrong to criticise Europe over the migrant crisis

Pope Francis spent the weekend in Marseille where he admonished Europe for their attitude towards migrants. Specifically, the Pontiff took to task those who used words such as ‘invasion’ and ‘emergency’ when discussing the millions of migrants who have arrived in Europe in the last decade. ‘Those who risk their lives at sea do not invade, they look for welcome,’ he pronounced. Those who said otherwise were ‘fuelling alarmist propaganda’ and acting contrary to the teaching of the Catholic church.

India is ramping up legal efforts against wanted Sikhs in Canada

India isn’t backing down on efforts to pressure, track and capture Sikh separatists in Canada in the face of a high-stakes diplomatic showdown between the governments of prime ministers Justin Trudeau and Narendra Modi.

After Canada’s assertion that there were “credible allegations” that the Indian state may have ordered the June killing of Surrey, B.C.’s Hardeep Singh Nijjar, an outspoken advocate of Sikh independence, law enforcement in India is instead ramping up the fight against individuals it considers to be terrorists, gangsters and fugitives from justice in this country.

Trudeau’s ex-‘special rapporteur’ on Chinese meddling gave millions in contracts to preferred consultants

Records show Canada’s former Governor General David Johnston, who was appointed as “special rapporteur” to lead the investigation into Chinese election interference by family “friend” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier in the year but resigned in disgrace, gave out millions in sweetheart contracts to preferred consultants.

Peter Menzies: Embarrassing Fallout of Mistakenly Honouring a Nazi a Richly Deserved Moment of Karma for Feds

Finally, a real Nazi affiliate appears to have breached the ramparts of Canada’s Parliament.

Yes indeed, after a couple of dry runs in which many politicians and media activists tried desperately to portray the trucker-led Freedom Convoy of 2022 and the Sept. 20 Million March 4 Children protests as fuelled by Nazis, white supremacists, and others suffering from a glossary of prejudicial phobias, the government of Justin Trudeau at last reeled in the real deal.

Carson Jerema: Maybe now the Trudeau Liberals will stop ignoring national security

Surely now, even the Trudeau Liberals will start to take national security seriously. If indeed the Indian government was behind the killing of a Canadian citizen, it proves yet again that the idea that Canada is much too enlightened to concern itself with something as unsophisticated as security is nothing but a fantasy.

Universal health care, a whole pile of “humility and audacity” and all the “honest broker” nonsense the Liberals can muster won’t stop foreign adversaries from harassing, kidnapping or murdering Canadians.
