The standing ovation given by Canada's parliament to a 98-year-old SS Galicia division vet (14th SS-Volunteer Division) is an insult to the 7 million Ukrainians and 1.6 million of their martyrs who fought with the red army against the Nazis.
It has come out today that Justin Trudeau personally met with and honoured a veteran of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (a Nazi division).Liberals then arranged for this Nazi veteran to be recognized on the floor of the House of Commons during the visit of the Ukrainian President. This is an appalling error in judgement on the part of Justin Trudeau, whose personal protocol office is responsible for arranging and vetting all guests and programming for state visits of this kind. No parliamentarians (other than Justin Trudeau) had the opportunity to vet this individual’s past before he was introduced and honoured on the floor of the House of Commons. Without warning or context, it was impossible for any parliamentarian in the room (other than Mr. Trudeau) to know of this dark past.
After WWII, Flight Lt. Bohdan Panchuk, a Royal Canadian Air Force officer, brought to Canada 30000 Ukrainian refugees, among them 2000 members of Adolf Hitler’s 14th Waffen SS Galicia division. And he lied about their past.
