Rules:
- Be civil and nice.
- Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
I mean, there were others fighting the Russians, too.
Perhaps he was an Italian fascist instead
Could've been a Finn during Winter War or a Pole. Wasn't though
Absolutely fucking not. Waffen-SS members are war criminals not hapless stooges.
Context for people not from Canada?
Someone in the govt got a old Ukranian dude to speak to the parlement, and they all applauded him for fighting Russia in WW2, forgetting that the people who faught Russia in WW2 were the Nazis.
They had accidentally invited a literal Nazi to speak, and applauded him for it.
the people who faught Russia in WW2 were the Nazis.
Not all of them though. Division of Poland and Winter War come to mind.
They said he was ukrainian who fought the Russians in ww2, that meant he fought as a nazi.
"Man who caught for a nazi unit"
Let me fix that for you:
"A Nazi who fought for Adolp Hitler"
Why are facho news like reverse clickbaity so often?
Can anybody explain to me what is up with Canada and a Nazi, I have been quite enjoying my rock for a couple of months.
The Canadian parlement did a standing ovation for a ukrainian solidier who was an ex nazi in WW2
Actually a current Nazi in WW2. It's arguable if he's an ex Nazi now
Some guy in parliament grabbed a Ukrainian who fought the Russians in WWII to make a show for Zelensky visiting parliament, without stopping to consider who the Ukrainians that fought the Russians in WWII were.
Canada let the mask slip.
Isn't he being extradited now? TF he was doing, coming out hiding.
This shouldn't be surprising given:

One of the ways of getting into Canada during the postwar period βwas by showing the SS tattoo,β Canadian historian Irving Abella told β60 Minutesβ interviewer Mike Wallace. βThis proved that you were an anti-Communist.β
The Canadian government hasn't really changed. Some high up government officials are the children and grandchildren of Nazi war criminals: https://www.google.com/amp/s/ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/chrystia-freelands-granddad-was-indeed-a-nazi-collaborator-so-much-for-russian-disinformation/wcm/11196169-fd23-4643-94b4-08039235c595/amp/
Liberals always side with fascists over communists/socialists when push comes to shove.
As a Canadian this is totally embarrassing but atleast we don't consider him a national hero like some nazis in America...
