00:00:00.000 I hope the news cycle over the past 24 hours has proven to the Canadian legacy media and to the liberal political establishment why you don't label people Nazis who are not actual Nazis.
00:00:09.940 It turns out that when you suck the meaning out of the term Nazi and just apply it to everyone you think is politically out of bounds, you stop taking real Nazis seriously.
00:00:17.420 And this is how we end up in this ridiculous situation where supposedly the Speaker of the House, Anthony Zoda, had invited someone who was part of the Waffen SS from World War II in Ukraine to Parliament to be given a standing ovation while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was in the country.
00:00:34.060 It's insane that this occurred and it shows that we really need to beef up our social studies curriculum in all the provinces in Canada because obviously a lot of people do not know or do not make a strong connection in their brains to Nazis when they hear that someone fought the Russians in World War II in Ukraine.
00:00:51.080 That's a little bit concerning that that went over people's heads that it's probably going to be a Nazi if they were fighting the Russians in Ukraine.
00:00:58.360 Yes, there were some Ukrainians who didn't fight for either the Soviets or the Germans and just fought against both of them.
00:01:04.500 There are very few and far between and they're probably not alive because of both armies trying to wipe them out during World War II.
00:01:10.740 But, you know, I think that people in Parliament are smart enough not to invite someone like this.
00:01:16.000 And I'm going to get into a little bit later that I do believe that Justin Trudeau fully knew that this guy was coming to Parliament.
00:01:21.520 I don't think anyone knew he was a Nazi. I think the liberals are just incompetent as usual. 0.97
00:01:25.980 Right now, I think the big scandal in all of this is just the fact that I think that we've really watered down the term Nazi to the point that we don't really see Nazis as real things that exist.
00:01:41.680 We just see it as the throwaway term that you use when you want to smear your political opponent.
00:01:46.120 Remember when the truckers were Nazis, when everyone who was part of the freedom movement was supposedly a Nazi.
00:01:51.280 We were standing with swastikas if we didn't like the lockdowns. 0.67
00:01:54.260 All of this was obviously disgusting smears like that. 1.00
00:01:56.840 I forget her name, but that liberal that now minister who thought that the term Hong Kong meant Heil Hitler because she's just an idiot. 1.00
00:02:04.060 But we're in a situation now where I'm happy that the liberals have actually, you know, stepped into this one. 0.98
00:02:09.940 And now they realize why you maybe shouldn't be throwing around those smear terms.
00:02:14.360 I don't think they're going to stop throwing around smear terms like Nazi and fascist.
00:02:17.640 But this will be a fantastic moment in Canadian history that everyone can always point back to when everyone starts, you know, throwing around the term Nazi without actual reference to National Socialism.
00:02:29.020 Also, just to throw it out there, Nazism is not a far right ideology.
00:02:32.860 It's a far left ideology.
00:02:34.700 Any ideology that makes the government in charge of everything in a country is a socialist government. 0.99
00:02:40.700 People throwing around that stupid theory that, well, the Nazis only call themselves National Socialists for a marketing gimmick. 0.99
00:02:47.020 No, no, no, no. 1.00
00:02:47.600 They literally hate capitalism.
00:02:49.120 There was one of the Nazi philosophers wrote a book literally called Das Endes, Das Kapitalismus or whatever.
00:02:56.500 They're not capitalists.
00:02:58.100 Anyways, moving on.
00:02:58.960 Sorry about that little rabbit hole.
00:03:00.000 But look, you just learned something here today.
00:03:01.760 But I think that Justin Trudeau obviously knew that Mr. Hunko was coming to Parliament and his PMO and the Speaker of the House, Anthony Zoda's staff, would have easily been able to background check this guy.
00:03:17.120 But I just don't think that the liberals think that the rules apply to them.
00:03:21.120 They don't think that the media is ever going to call themselves them out on anything.
00:03:24.180 So they just sort of don't really care to background check anyone they bring to Parliament because, hey, we're the good guys.
00:03:29.020 Why would we ever bring someone to Parliament who's a bad guy?
00:03:32.720 We're nice progressive liberals.
00:03:35.340 We do our homework.
00:03:36.760 And we obviously don't need to ever research anything again because we know everything.
00:03:40.520 We've already – we already have – we've already know what the end of history is.
00:03:45.080 So whoever we invite to Parliament must be as great and kind and tolerant as we are.
00:03:50.000 But I think this post right here from his granddaughter, Mr. Hunko's granddaughter, basically shows that, like, Justin Trudeau obviously – oh, I can't get this to finally come up on screen.
00:03:58.860 Great.
00:03:59.500 This post right here probably demonstrates that the PMO knew that he was coming to Parliament and had ample opportunity to look into Mr. Hunko's background because it was just a Google search away to figure out that he was part of the Waffen-SS.
00:04:12.580 If you actually research what unit he was part of and which theater of war he was in.
00:04:16.800 And because he was literally at the reception with Trudeau and Zelensky, it is complete lack of due diligence on Trudeau's staff's part to have Mr. Hunko coming.
00:04:26.220 And I think that Justin Trudeau needs to apologize because, so far, Anthony Zoda is the only one who has apologized.
00:04:32.140 And it's obviously he's just falling on his sword for Justin Trudeau because his statement apologizing for this immediately starts up with the blanket boilerplate statement that this is only my fault.
00:04:42.040 I take full responsibility. This is nobody else's fault other than my own.
00:04:45.900 And it's like, okay, you might have invited him and maybe you take chief responsibility, but the PMO in such a big event as having President Zelensky inviting – being invited to Parliament to speak.
00:04:57.460 Obviously, this is a moment when you should be double and triple checking every single person who's going to be meeting with President Zelensky and Trudeau.
00:05:06.420 But they just didn't because they just don't care.
00:05:09.060 But anyways, but this is what Trudeau said when asked in the hallway about this situation in Parliament.
00:05:13.880 And I think that he's obviously knows that he's a part of this and he's just trying to dodge as much as possible.
00:05:18.240 Obviously, it's extremely upsetting that this happened.
00:05:22.800 The speaker has acknowledged his mistake and has apologized.
00:05:28.040 But this is something that is deeply embarrassing to the Parliament of Canada and, by extension, to all Canadians.
00:05:34.520 I think particularly of Jewish MPs and all members of the Jewish community across the country who are celebrating – commemorating Yom Kippur today.
00:05:43.560 I think it's going to be really important that all of us push back against Russian propaganda, Russian disinformation,
00:05:52.420 and continue our steadfast and unequivocal support for Ukraine, as we did last week with announcing further measures to stand with Ukraine in Russia's illegal war against it.
00:06:05.080 Okay. Obviously, that answer to a question by Justin Trudeau is going to require its own little breakdown right here.
00:06:11.780 So, first, he immediately does exactly what he probably instructed Anthony Zata to do, is to take all responsibility on himself.
00:06:20.560 Because Justin Trudeau, right at the beginning of that statement, said it was all Anthony's fault.
00:06:23.900 He's the only person who has to apologize. I don't have to apologize.
00:06:26.980 And then he immediately moves on to saying, well, this must be very difficult for the Jewish community in Canada, which I would assume it is.
00:06:34.480 It's like literally Yom Kippur the next day after we had a member of the SS getting a standing ovation in Parliament.
00:06:40.400 But is Justin Trudeau going to apologize to Melissa Lansman for accusing her, a Jewish woman, of standing with swastikas during the Freedom Convoy?
00:06:48.400 Is he going to do any of this? Is he ever going to apologize for any of the other people who have met with and openly take photos with and attend events with anti-Semites from the Liberal Party?
00:06:57.360 Probably not, because Justin Trudeau doesn't actually care.
00:07:00.480 And even though this is a pretty bad look for his party, I guarantee the media over the next couple of days is going to make tons of excuses for Justin Trudeau of why he doesn't have to do his due diligence.
00:07:10.720 When if Stephen Harper even invited someone who knew a guy who knew a guy who knew a Nazi, they'd be getting ripped up for an entire month.
00:07:18.140 Like all the Stephen Harper scandals during his government were like really shallow.
00:07:22.520 And the media could bring them out or could draw them out for like months at a time.
00:07:26.440 Like the Mike Duffy stuff was like the most nonsensical who cares scandal ever.
00:07:31.320 Like a guy, you know, billed taxpayers for way too much.
00:07:34.040 That's not that unique in Canadian politics that a politician bills taxpayers for things they shouldn't be billing them for. 0.98
00:07:40.140 And Stephen Harper is one of his, another senator and MP, paid off that guy's bills because Mike Duffy's an idiot and wouldn't pay it himself. 0.97
00:07:47.840 That's almost borderline not a scandal. 0.96
00:07:49.400 It's kind of a scandal, but it doesn't implicate Duffy, sorry, it doesn't implicate Harper.
00:07:53.800 If anything, his people did the right thing.
00:07:55.600 But again, sorry for going down another rabbit hole.
00:07:57.960 But Justin Trudeau ended off that question, like that answer to that question, with basically pivoting to, well, we should all fight Russian disinformation and misinformation and stand by Ukraine.
00:08:10.120 Nobody's talking about whether or not we should stand by Ukraine right now.
00:08:13.320 This has nothing to do with the scandal, but he's almost implying as if somehow this, this Mr. Hunka guy being a given standing ovation is part of Russian disinformation or misinformation.
00:08:23.740 I could actually see the liberals trying to pivot and trying to blame Russians for his presence at the, at the parliament and basically thinking like, oh, maybe he was pushed forward by some Russian agents or something to be given a standing ovation in parliament to embarrass Canada.
00:08:38.080 Like, no, no, no, Justin, this is fully on you and your party and the Speaker of the House.
00:08:42.440 This is on nobody else. 1.00
00:08:43.600 And bringing up the Russian disinformation is such a stupid pivot. 0.99
00:08:46.820 I agree that there is a lot of Russian disinformation and misinformation about the war in Ukraine. 0.99
00:08:51.540 There's also some Ukrainian misinformation, too.
00:08:54.680 I think anyone who starts to label whether the Ukrainians or the Russians or Nazis is missing the point.
00:09:00.100 There just tends to be a lot of ignorance around national socialism in Eastern Europe, where in Russia and Ukraine, you'll find a lot of people with swastika tattoos than you would really, you know, want to know about.
00:09:09.680 It's kind of a, it's a very strange part of the world.
00:09:12.880 And, but that has nothing to do with the fact that you invited a Nazi to have a standing ovation given to him in parliament.
00:09:21.300 This is all completely ancillary information that we don't really need to be discussing right now.
00:09:26.880 But Justin Trudeau is deeply uncomfortable.
00:09:28.640 So he's trying to blame, you know, Zata for this mistake.
00:09:32.800 And then he's pivoting to how bad Russia is and whatnot.
00:09:35.780 And I think this is the perfect response to Justin Trudeau's excuse for the day.
00:09:41.240 I just really like using that clip.
00:09:45.680 And I just found a great opportunity on the fly to use it.
00:09:48.480 But anyways, I hope that the legacy media and the liberal political establishment has learned its lesson.
00:09:53.360 And this is going to go down as a great Canadian heritage moment that we can use whenever people start misusing the term Nazi again.
00:10:01.280 Anyways, this should be the end of the video for me.
