The Canadian speaker of the House of Commons has issued an apology after he asked the entire Parliament to give a standing ovation last week to a 98 year old Nazi Waffen-SS soldier in the presence of the visiting Ukrainian President Zelensky.
Anthony Rota issued the apology Sunday, claiming that the decision to honor Yaroslav Hunka, a Ukrainian who fought with 14th “Galicia” division of the Waffen-SS in the Second World War, was entirely down to him.
“I 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 noted, adding “This initiative was entirely my own, the individual in question being from my riding and having been brought to my attention.”
“I particularly want to extend my deepest apologies to Jewish communities in Canada and around the world. I accept full responsibility for my actions,” Rota further stated.
Mistakenly honouring one of Hitler’s henchmen, hardly a common error is it.
As the chamber applauded, Zelensky punched the air while stood next to Canadian Prime Minster Justin Trudeau.
Rota fawned over Hunka, telling MPs that he is a “veteran from the Second World War who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians and continues to support the troops today even at his age of 98.”
Rota failed to mention the fact that Hunka is an actual Nazi who somehow walks free today.
Here’s how the guy ended up living a decent life in Canada:
Trudeau should also be held accountable, particularly given that he likes to throw around the word ‘Nazi’ when describing anyone he disagrees with.
