Canadians have weaponized apologies into thought terminating cliches. "I apologize for it, what more is there to do?" Well shit buddy, why don't you open up an investigation into this fucker for war crimes? Why don't you investigate the processes by which Nazis were allowed to come to Canada?

now now, you don't want to put most of the population in the prairie provinces in prisons

The prairie provinces are a kind of a prison when you think about it though. At least that's how it felt driving through.

Folks, if your region is:

-isolated and unescapable

-Cold af

-Most settlements are for fossils exploitation

This is not a gulag, you are living in the prairies

I have subsequently become aware of more information which causes me to regret my decision to [honour Hunka].

What information? You said yourself that he "fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians". Did you just recently learn what the sides in WW2 were?

Pro Russian news isn’t news, duh.

It’s just propaganda that Canadas government openly applauded a Nazi!

What is more scary?

-the fact that there is no veting process and the only representative they managed to find is some SS guy

-the fact that there is vetting and they managed to find some SS guy

Tbf the Canadian Ukrainian community is/was chock full of "former" nazis until they started dying from old age (a better fate than they deserved). There's a reason there's a bunch of monuments to Ukrainian Nazis in Canada, there was a deliberate effort to bring them over post-war to balance out earlier waves of poorer, more left wing Ukrainian immigrants that played a big part in the general strikes of 1918-1925. And what better way to do that than bring over a bunch of right wing petty bourgeois thugs to crack skulls and generally influence the existing diaspora

I remember that there used to be big ass disputes between the ukrainian diaspora's centers you have the right wing one and one's who are more into left wing radical ideas. There are talk of uniting the russian diaspora, poles, ukrainians into one wing of the slavic labour movement, but it didn't end up anywhere

The second one which is probably also true. They just didn't expect this much backlash. They Probably just imagined that the world will start cheering for Mr. BlackFace honouring a SS Soldier.

I feel like he's just sorry he didn't honor Nazis sooner.

Rota said he takes full responsibly for the acknowledgment of Hunka, who he said is from his electoral district.

β€œI 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. β€œThis initiative was entirely my own, the individual in question being from my riding and having been brought to my attention.”

The apology would be having parliament execute this guy by a firing line, personally.

Let’s make Zelensky join in as well. Surely he’d have no problem killing a Nazi SS, right??
