Certainly better than how Trudeau is representing Canada. Inviting a Nazi and giving him a standing ovation and then protecting terrorists who killed CANADIAN citizens. Guess, those Canadian lives were disposable if it meant a few votes, eh?
How about your hero called Modi who did this:
India unveils statue to Nazi-allied independence hero
New Delhi (AFP) – Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday unveiled a statue of an independence hero venerated for taking up arms against the British, but controversial for his collaboration with Nazi Germany's war machine.
Subhas Chandra Bose was a charismatic and popular contemporary of Mahatma Gandhi but broke with the pacifist leader to forge alliances with Germany and Japan during World War II, as he sought to overthrow the colonial regime in India.
He made propaganda broadcasts from Berlin encouraging Indians to fight alongside Axis forces -- on one occasion meeting Adolf Hitler -- and raised an anti-British legion from captured Indian PoWs before sailing in a submarine to Japan.
The statue of "Netaji" -- or "leader", as Bose is commonly known -- was erected near the India Gate war memorial in New Delhi, and replaces a statue of Britain's King George V torn down nearly half a century ago.
It is part of a long and expensive renovation of the capital's administrative district, coinciding with this year's 75th anniversary of independence.
"Today we are leaving the past behind," Modi said at the inauguration ceremony on Thursday.
"The country today set up Netaji's statue at the same spot and has given a boost to modern, independent and confident India," he added.
Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) espouses a muscular Hindu nationalism that champions historical figures who opposed outside influence and domination.
The BJP has lionised Bose as an anti-colonial hero while downplaying the influence of Gandhi and inaugural Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, two men whose legacies are closely associated with India's main opposition party.
Modi opened a museum to Bose in Delhi's UNESCO world heritage-listed Red Fort in 2019 and called him the "grand hero of independence" earlier this year.
Bose's courtship of fascist powers tarnished his image elsewhere but he remains widely revered at home for his role in the struggle for independence -- and the subject of conspiracy theories over his untimely death.
He was killed when the Japanese bomber he was travelling in crashed in Taiwan at the close of the war in 1945.
But many Indians at the time thought the crash had been faked to help Bose go underground, as he was wanted as a war criminal by British authorities.
In the decades that followed, many insisted Bose was still alive and several alternative theories flourished to account for his whereabouts, including capture and detention in a Soviet gulag, or an anonymous return to India for a quiet life.

Yes, this Modi knew very well that Bose fought alongside the Nazis and he revered him with this statue. Modi despises Nehru and Gandhi who were the real founders of India!!
Modi also overlooks the real terrorists who have burnt down the churches, paraded raped Christian women nude as well as the killings of thousands of Muslims and more recently the Christians.
But in recent years there has been a surge in attacks on Muslims, who make up about 14% of the population, as well as Christians, who are India’s second-largest religious minority at less than 3% of the population.
Critics say religious polarization has intensified under Prime Minister
Narendra Modi and his Hindu-nationalist government, and that it is now reaching deep into the capital, which had largely managed to keep the violence at bay.
A few weeks before the church attack in Delhi, thousands of Muslims in the neighboring state of Haryana fled violence-stricken neighborhoods after seven people were killed during a religious Hindu procession organized by groups ideologically aligned with Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party. Muslim shops and homes were targeted as the communal clashes spread from the district of Nuh to the city of Gurugram, a tech hub where multinational companies such as Google, Ernst & Young and Deloitte have offices.
New Delhi was also
engulfed by sectarian riots for several days in 2020, leaving more than 30 people dead.
The United Christian Forum, a human rights group based in New Delhi, said in July that since the start of the year there had been at least 400 acts of violence against Christians across 23 states in India, the Indian news outlet
The Wire reported, up from 274 in the first half of 2022.
Experts say religious violence in India is driven by a desire to establish a Hindu state, trumping the secularism enshrined in the country’s constitution and instilling fear in those who stand opposed.
“What we are witnessing in India is majoritarianism couched as democracy,” said M. Sudhir Selvaraj, a lecturer at the University of Bradford in Britain who studies anti-Christian violence in India. “There is a sense that people feel emboldened by Modi as the leader. They feel that this is ‘our’ time and ‘our’ place.”
During a
visit to the White House in June, Modi denied that India had a problem with religious discrimination, saying there was “absolutely no space for discrimination” in his government. Since then, he has come under fire for his handling of deadly clashes between Hindu and Christian ethnic groups in the northeastern state of Manipur, which he said nothing about publicly for more than two months until a video spread online of
two women being paraded naked by a mob.
The crowd is smaller at the Prarthana Bhawan Church after it was attacked by a right-wing mob last month, but some parishioners are undeterred.

So please do not preach about a Ukrainian Veteran who fought with the Nazis, was then mistakenly invited to the Canadian Parliament by the Speaker, when Modi actually salutes one who met with Hitler, fought alongside the Nazi troops and is now a "Hero" in India with his Statue at the India Gate. Tell us why you think that Trudeau has to be condemned and Modi adored in this respect?
