Trudeau’s global embarrassment reached new heights when it emerged that he lied to try to cover up the real truth behind the big scandal that erupted after Canadian Parliament rose to honor a Nazi, Yaroslav Hunka, when Volodymyr Zelensky visited Canada in September….
Although most of Canada’s parliamentarians thought they were honoring and welcoming a war hero, they were giving a standing ovation to a Nazi who fought for the Waffen-SS Galicia Division (or the SS 14th Waffen Division). Trudeau knew about it and in fact had invited Hunka to his private, official event; but he feigned ignorance and let the House Speaker Anthony Rota take the fall. The story can be read HERE.
The whole world witnessed the cringeworthy applause, while MP’s who had no idea what they were saluting faced the global humiliation afterward. The incident was noted globally and raised by Vladimir Putin in his interview with Tucker Carlson…(@59:05 to 1:00:00)

“Trudeau was asked during a press conference…about Putin using the diplomatic embarrassment to mock Canada and its ally.” Even after being exposed, Trudeau shamelessly attempted to diminish what he did and point the finger at Putin, stating: “[Putin] will, of course, use whatever propaganda he can engage in, but I can tell you Canadians will not be fooled.”
Whether one supports Ukraine or Putin isn’t the issue here. Trudeau is the issue. He accuses Putin of using propaganda when Putin specifically pointed out the truth about the standing ovation to Hunka in Parliament, thanks to Trudeau et al. In the face of global humiliation, Trudeau remains unrepentant, while playing Canadians for fools in the process.

No seems to remember that that to most Ukraine’s at that time that the Germans were liberators from the USSR’s brutal occupation since early 20’s saw millions killed through starvation and murder. The enemy of my enemy is my friend has been through every country on the planet throughout history. This man fought for his country against a brutal dictator that killed millions and was an allies of US, Canada, Great Britten and many others. this man many others that fought against USSR should not be condemed.

Except that at the time, Nazi Germany was fighting the Soviet Union, and UK, US, Canada, et al were all allies of the Soviet Union, not of Nazi Germany, since they were already at war w/ the latter. Hunka may have been justified in seeking Nazi support given that the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact had just been given the Hudaibiyya treatment, but that still didn’t make him an ally of the West
What’s most ironic about this story is that the government that welcomes Mr Hunka is the same government that tries to paint all its critics & opponents as racists and Nazis

And we are surprised? Trudeau’s father used to ride a motorcycle around Montreal during the second world war, wearing a Nazi helmet. The father didn’t enlist in the forces because he thought it was a stupid war. And then later as prime minister, he had the gall to lecture Canadians about patriotism.
WPM says
Justin you invited the Nazi to the Canada parliament without vetting his background to give him a standing ovation. No one including Putin made you do it ,because Putin (yes he is an evil man but is is a smart crafty leader) point out your idiotic actions for his own use is right it is your fault shooting yourself political in your own foot. You Justin like Biden are a weak stupid leader who does not even like the people in Canada or look after their best interest. Keep playing dress up and make believe , you be remember in history as the idiotic failed PM of Canada .While Putin plays political chess with your missteps, blunders, policies of for Canadians last in your world order , to further his goals of upsetting western power and influence in the world ,you play the idiot prince with a nice haircut who could not learn to play even political checkers to save your life.
somehistory says
The “leader” of Canada, a beautiful country, salutes islam, so it’s no surprise he also salutes nazism.
And the small-minded, no morals creep, is way too small to apologize or to admit to what he did, much less change course.

Somehistory- this is the same guy who allowed Chinese soldiers to do cold weather training with Canadian army
James Lincoln says
All true, somehistory.
Canada needs new conservative leadership – pronto.
Major Tom says
The Chinese Communist police stations on Canadian soil seem to have lost their newsworthiness…..
Just another cover up in Justin’s Kanada……..
Goofy says
Justin Trudeau doesn’t even recognise that there is a problem.
The only way it was possible to mobilise hostility between Ukraine and Russia was to work with the Bandera NAZIs.
The entire Ukraine war is based on “the free world” encouraging and in particular paying the NAZIs to fight the Russians and lose a generation of Ukrainians in the process.
To this very day the No. 1 destination chosen by Ukrainian refugees is Russia, not Germany or Poland!
