Never accept a cheap substitute: Trudeau called truckers "Nazis," applauds the real thing –

And the unit he was attached to – 14th “Galicia” division – were some particularly nasty hombres. I don’t think “war criminals” would be too harsh. Not at all like Canadian truckers, as much as Trudeau would like to paint them so.

  HotAir   There seem to be Nazis everywhere today. Well, Nazis and RUSSIANS.

. . ."…especially after a person, as Prime Minister of Canada, has been caught on camera, before God and everyone, publicly celebrating a 98 year old…Waffen SS member.

"Well, one Ukrainian freedom fighter is another man’s Nazi, right?

"Not…not exactly. Not like truckers in the anti-COVID convoys Trudeau called “Nazis”

…"while a liberal Canadian MP flat out said “honk honk” was code for “Heil Hitler” among the trucking kind of “Nazis.”

During a heated exchange in the House of Commons Wednesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused Conservative MPs sympathetic to the trucker convoy of standing with “people who wave swastikas.”

 

"Formed in 1943, SS Galichina was comprised of Ukrainians from the Galicia region in the western part of the country. It was armed and trained by Hitler's Nazis and commanded by German officers. The next year, the division received a visit from SS head Heinrich Himmler, who had high praise for the unit's effectiveness at slaughtering Poles.

"The SS Galichina subunits were responsible for the Huta Pieniacka massacre, in which they burned 500 to 1,000 Polish villagers alive." 

14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Galician) - Wikipedia    . . ."The Galician Division was renamed to 1st Division of the Ukrainian National Army. However, there is no proof to demonstrate that the renaming was done formally and the German Army's High command continued to list it as the Ukrainian 14th SS Grenadier Division in its order of battle.[33][34] The division surrendered to British and US forces by 10 May 1945.[28]. . .

. . ."This, together with the intervention of the Vatican prevented its members from being deported to the USSR. Bishop Buchko of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church had appealed to Pope Pius XII to intervene on behalf of the division, whom he described as "good Catholics and fervent anti-Communists". Due to Vatican intervention, the British authorities changed the status of the division members from POW to surrendered enemy personnel.[35] 176 soldiers of the division, mainly prewar Polish Army officers followed their commander in joining Anders's Polish army.[36][37]

"Former soldiers of SS "Galizien" were allowed to emigrate to Canada[38] and the United Kingdom in 1947.[39] The names of about 8,000 men from the division who were admitted to the UK have been stored in the so-called "Rimini List". Despite several requests of various lobby groups, the details of the list have never been publicly released; however, the list is available on line and the original list is available for public inspection at the Schevchenko Archive in Linden Gardens, London. In 2003 the anti-terrorist branch of Scotland Yard launched an investigation into people from the list by cross-referencing NHS patient, social security and pensions records; however, the order to release confidential medical records was met with outcry from civil liberties groups.[40]" . . .

Poland’s not going to be quiet, either. They’re demanding an apology from Canada for inviting a Nazi – no less a member of that Pole massacring unit – to Parliament.
