Inviting a man who served in the Waffen SS Galicia Division to attend Pres. Zelensky’s visit to the Canadian House of Commons has caused a scandal of global proportions, forcing the Speaker to resign. The fear of “Ukrainian Nazis” infiltrating Canada is not something new – but is there more to the story?
After the end of the Second World War concerns were raised about how “thousands of Ukrainian Nazis” somehow escaped justice and emigrated to Europe and North America. In the lead-up to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Putin asserted that “defeating Naziism” in Ukraine left him no other choice but to attack.

Your interviewee is propagating the double genocide theory of Europe - which is holocaust denial.
@David Raun, No it isn’t, you hysterical madman
@David Raun, There is such a thing as a non-Jewish victim in history: as much as that may bother some, Jews weren’t unique in their victim status.
In 1990-1991 most of the trained Ukrainian Nazis came from Edmonton to Kyiv and Lviv. We all saw it.
Excellent Presentation shedding light on this much misunderstood chapter of history.
The world will be better for the compete dismantling of russian thug controlled propaganda machine and its dissent sowing troll farms. Extra worldwide bonus when its state funded cyber crime organizations are also dismantled.. This is certainly not the first time Ukrainians have had to fight Russia for its peoples survival, but hopefully it's last. Lets' get it right this time global citizens. Don't get distracted from the goal. Full support to Ukraine and NO appeasement of Putin nor anyone sympathetic to his deviantly distructive regime. It's time for Russians to elect leadership that shares global objectives of sustainability and peace and complies with international laws Cheers from Canada. Slava Ukraini!
@John, pursuing justice is not a distraction, as we will learn when our time comes to chase down Russian war criminals, some of which may take decades. It took a while, but the Jewish diaspora is finally, slowly coming to terms with what Israelis did in the name of independence. I think we could learn from their mistakes in this regard
