Trust would have seen someone point out “This person is not who you think he is.” and the speaker realizing “Oh shit, you’re right. We had better cancel these ceremonies.”

My interpretation of this is that someone would have had to know that this person is not who he thought he was, and given him the heads-up.

Who are you asserting had prior knowledge of this and said nothing?

There's nothing contradictory about the seasons, and they were written and filmed back-to-back. There's no need for a retcon.

This same ad showed up in my mail yesterday - it wasn't just in the paper.

Yeah, I think he should definitely step down as Speaker.

This seems as good a place as any to say that I've seen actual Parliamentary-minded people (Kady O'Malley, for one) point out that it would actually be inappropriate for the government to have any say in who the Speaker invites to the HoC. This is something that Andrew Scheer, as a former Speaker himself, knows.

no actual group has been found.

Could you elaborate on this? The article mentions both an e-mail address and associated Telegram group.

The Speaker of the House, who is a Liberal MP, has taken full responsibility for it, so yes they are that dumb. Or, at the very least, he is.

It's absolutely some clown shit, but I find it distressingly believable.

It looks like they found a Ukrainian veteran who had fought the Soviets, and didn't bother to consider the context.

Well, as far as I know, he was never personally investigated, but the division was, and they didn't find any conclusive evidence.

Either way, surely they could have found someone who didn't fight the Allies during WWII to make an appearance?

The party's in trouble, there's no question about that - I'm not convinced that this will be the turning point, but I also don't think that's really the point of this story, y'know?

I would be astonished if anyone's talking about this by the time the next election rolls around.

The answer (which I do not necessarily endorse) is that the Canadian government decided this particular division was not guilty, back in 1986:

The Galicia Division (14. Waffen grenadier division der SS [gal. #1]) should not be indicted as a group. The members of Galicia Division were individually screened for security purposes before admission to Canada. Charges of war crimes of Galicia Division have never been substantiated, either in 1950 when they were first preferred, or in 1984 when they were renewed, or before this Commission. Further, in the absence of evidence of participation or knowledge of specific war crimes, mere membership in the Galicia Division is insufficient to justify prosecution.

This would probably be a good place to start.

Sorry

With luck, this means they're also willing to negotiate with the actors.
