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
If the guy was Finnish I'd high five the shit out of him
(Actually, even that gets dicey. WW2 was kind of a mess)
Winter War is easy and clean, Continuation War is fucked.
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.
No
Absolutely fucking not. Waffen-SS members are war criminals not hapless stooges.

Isn't he being extradited now? TF he was doing, coming out hiding.
Poland only send out an unofficial request because of lack of evidence iirc.
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.
Canadian here. Minor correction: he didn't speak, but he was invited as a Ukrainian "hero" by the speaker of the house (a member of the sitting elected party). He was applauded - twice - for his "service". Including by Ukrainian president zelensky.
The only 'defense' I can offer is that our prime minister had no input on the matter, and Hunka's Nazi service came out after the fact. Canada does not support fascism or Nazism...
But it's a bad look, no matter how you cut it...

Hunka granddaughter posted that he met Zelensky and Trudeau before.
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.
It wasn't acidental btw. His own granddaughter posted that he met with Zelensky and Trudeau before. Also he lived in Canada for long, all of them were one short inquiry of getting to know who he is, and that's why they have assistants etc. Sure, the western politicians have mostly shit for brains, but not one of 300 people even said "wait a minute".
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...
Or consider Dictators as heros and gods like Russia, China, India and North Korea does.
Lmao.
