"Fought Russia in WWII" hmmm 🤔

I mean, there were others fighting the Russians, too.
- Perhaps he was an Italian fascist instead
- If the guy was Finnish I'd high five the shit out of him
  (Actually, even that gets dicey. WW2 was kind of a mess)

Absolutely fucking not. Waffen-SS members are war criminals not hapless stooges.

You are painting an overly simplified picture. Look up Günter Grass if you don't believe me.
TLDR: He non forcefully signed up for the SS, although disagreeing with the Nazis. Later he became a nobel prize winning author and member of the famous Group 47. In his publications he tries to get people to think for themselves - not exactly nazi doctrine.
- Nazi apologia. It doesn’t matter how many books he wrote or how good they were.
  Here’s how I read it: His Nazi past wasn’t discovered until after receiving literary awards, which was embarrassing to the literati, so they tried to whitewash him.
- That’s neither here nor there. The Canadian government’s complicity only implicates Canada and clears no one.

Can anybody explain to me what is up with Canada and a Nazi, I have been quite enjoying my rock for a couple of months.

The Canadian parlement did a standing ovation for a ukrainian solidier who was an ex nazi in WW2
- Actually a current Nazi in WW2. It's arguable if he's an ex Nazi now
Some guy in parliament grabbed a Ukrainian who fought the Russians in WWII to make a show for Zelensky visiting parliament, without stopping to consider who the Ukrainians that fought the Russians in WWII were.
Canada let the mask slip.

Isn't he being extradited now? TF he was doing, coming out hiding.

Poland only send out an unofficial request because of lack of evidence iirc.

This shouldn't be surprising given:

One of the ways of getting into Canada during the postwar period “was by showing the SS tattoo,” Canadian historian Irving Abella told “60 Minutes” interviewer Mike Wallace. “This proved that you were an anti-Communist.”

The Canadian government hasn't really changed. Some high up government officials are the children and grandchildren of Nazi war criminals: https://www.google.com/amp/s/ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/chrystia-freelands-granddad-was-indeed-a-nazi-collaborator-so-much-for-russian-disinformation/wcm/11196169-fd23-4643-94b4-08039235c595/amp/

Liberals always side with fascists over communists/socialists when push comes to shove.

As a Canadian this is totally embarrassing but atleast we don't consider him a national hero like some nazis in America...
