If you have no idea who somebody really is, why would you want to take a photo with them? I suppose asking one staffer to maybe vet them before they are commemorated is asking too much?
The proper response is outrage that a nazi was invited to be honoured. Especially as a descendent of Holocaust survivors, the correct reaction is to be livid. Not upset that people are “politicizing an issue”.
I wasn’t sure who had said the above quote during the presentation. The fact still stands that people should at least be aware what that quote means, and makes some PM comments afterwards, defending Rota and the Nazi or trying to run damage control, despicable.
It’s not like they’re a fairly important group, but have been in Northern Ontario for a long time. I know of Yaroslav Hunka from the Holodomor bus, which would come around every once and a while. He’s not, like, a major figure, but you could tell a lot of the ukrainian groups in the two cities deferred a lot to him.

Not even a staffer to vet them. Either Zelensky or Rota introduced the Nazi as having “fought against Russia for Ukrainian independence, during WW2”.
Everyone should immediately understand what this means, and especially a Holocaust survivor descendant.
Everything I’m seeing is saying Rota was the one to invite the guy, or at the very least his staffers. The Nazi lives in his riding.

The Hunka’s are fairly well known in the ukrainian community in North Bay. Have done a lot of stuff in Sudbury as well.
Really? I didn’t know he was such a big deal…

Do I want to know what the holodomor bus is?
Have fun.
The indigenous population probably agrees, but likely not how they mean.
It seems this holodomor thing is to promote US monroe doctrine
Yeah, I don’t think we needed a bus since it’s literally taught in social studies classes.
