"We have here in the chamber today [a] Ukrainian Canadian world [war] veteran from the second world war who fought [for] the Ukrainian Independence against the Russians and continues to support the troops today even at his age of 98." The Canadian Prime Minister heard this man was a Nazi and then started clapping. I don't understand how much more black and white this could be.
Yes let everyone, despite everything else going on at the time, pause in the moment to recall the finer points of WW2 geopolitics because everyone obviously has all those facts at the forefront of their mind at all times.
List of people who clapped: literally everyone.
I watched at home and didn’t clue in and I didn’t have cameras pointing at me documenting an internationally significant diplomatic event.
This is not the own you think it is.
Bruv, bruv, this is the bare minimum, I swear. If you cannot recall that WWII was Nazi Germany vs the Soviet Union, you aren't prepared enough to have opinions on the modern conflict or any aspect of geopolitics. This isn't the finer points.
Mhm.
I don’t think you’re arguing in good faith. There were more countries involved in WW2 than Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union but, as I said, I’m not an expert and I don’t expect people to be.
It was a mistake on the part of the speaker, he owned it, and then the government apologized. Case closed. Don’t be a partisan hack.
You are completely unhinged and need a better therapist.
Completely unhinged statement, according to [email protected]: Nazis should not be in charge of Canada.
NO NAZI IS IN CHARGE OF CANADA OR EVEN ANY COUNTRY IN THE WEST, INCLUDING UKRAINE.
Stop spreading Russian propaganda.
Alright great, so you'll have no problem with getting rid of all the people who clapped, and the guy they clapped for. Then we're in complete agreement.
My brother in Marx you need to learn how to read
Are you intentionally misgendering them? Read their username
I beg your pardon? I didn't see any pronouns in their name, unless you think they identify as a hotel in Vegas?
If their name was dave@handle would you call them "my sister in marx"
