Another.
Another?
ANOTHER!?
- Put away the pitchforks... sort of.
  This happened in the 80s. It's just that it's getting an apology now that there's scrutiny.
  
  Ok thank you I needed that.
Fucking hell Canada, so many old Nazi pricks here you'd think this shit was a Swiss bank.
- Insert NASA Nazi rocket scientists monkey puppet meme.
Should’ve never happened, of course, but this is a misleading headline because it implies it happened again recently. “He had another outburst” implies an additional one after the last one, not one from decades ago.
How are the honorings done without any such checks??
Both this guy and the Nazi in parliament were from the same SS division. The government of Canada imported the whole division after WW2 to scab when a nickel mine went on strike.
