I hope I'm wrong. But I think Trudeau and Zelenskyy just did something terrible. Let me explain it in reverse.
1. In 2020, Canada's leading military affairs reporter wrote an article in a military journal about how Canada brought in 2,000 Nazis after the Second World War.
2. The Nazis were in Hitler's 14th Waffen SS Division Galicia. According to military historian/journalist David Pugliese, they were able to sneak into Canada by changing their name and hiding their past.
3. Here's what Pugliese wrote in the military journal, Esprite de Corps:
In an attempt to hide the SS connection, the unit had changed its name in the last few days of the war to the First Division Ukrainian National Army.

4. That was nearly 80 years ago, so most of those Nazis have since died. But one of them is apparently still alive -- Yaroslav Hunka. And if I'm reading the news correctly, Trudeau invited him as an honoured guest today, to Zelenskyy's visit to Canada's Parliament.
5. The Canadian Press wire service circulated this photo and caption. (This version is taken from The Toronto Star, but it was in many places). Look at the caption on the bottom.
6. It says,
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recognize Yaroslav Hunka, who was in attendance and fought with the First Ukrainian Division in the Second World War before later immigrating to Canada, in the House of Commons on Friday.

7. Can that really be true?
Did Justin Trudeau really invite a Nazi SS soldier from the Second World War to Parliament as an honoured guest?
Please tell me I've got a fact wrong here.

@LevittMichael @AHousefather @mgeist @CIJAinfo @bnaibrithcanada 8. Hunka was introduced to Parliament as a 98-year-old soldier “who fought… against the Russians… a hero.”
9. Three months ago, Trudeau went to Ukraine and met with Andriy Melnyk, a Holocaust denier who was fired by Zelenskyy after he said Israel and Poland were lying about Jewish deaths: x.com/ezralevant/sta…
10. And last year, Chrystia Freeland held up a scarf promoting a far-right Ukrainian Nationalist movement linked to Neo-Nazis commemorating Stefan Bandera, the Nazi criminal. Freeland deleted her social media posts, but not before the photo was saved:
11. Before the Russian invasion in 2022, David Pugliese wrote about Trudeau and Freeland working with Nazi groups in Ukraine. Here are two of his stories from November, 2021:

ottawacitizen.com/news/national/…

12. Those articles were published in the prestigious Ottawa Citizen. Here's an article in the Globe and Mail about Freeland's grandfather, a Nazi propagandist. She tried to keep that a secret for years, and then claimed it was Russian propaganda:
13. Trudeau and Freeland routinely call peaceful, domestic political critics "Nazis" and "far right" and "racist". They're not of course -- they just disagree.
It's Trudeau and Freeland who really do have a Nazi problem -- and it's coming from inside their house.

14. As usual, if it’s a report about Trudeau’s misconduct, you’ll read about it in the foreign press before you’ll read about it (if ever) in Canada’s news media, which has been colonized by Trudeau: forward.com/fast-forward/5…
@LevittMichael @CanadianFSWC @CIJAinfo @bnaibrithcanada @AHousefather @mgeist @LindaFrum 15. A masked agent provocateur unfurled a Nazi flag just long enough to be photographed and that’s enough for Canada’s regime media to denounce 100,000 truckers as racist.
Trudeau deliberately invited a Nazi soldier to Parliament and… crickets.
