Actually, they don't.
The division was investigated and cleared as a unit by Canada decades ago. READ THE WIKI ARTICLE. Stop snickering and giggling about it and making jokes and actually go read it. You will learn stuff.

Trudeau still had nothing to do with the decision.
All he did was stand and applaud, along with PeePee, someone he thought was a Ukrainian war vet in support of Zelensky.

Sure. But they were accused of specific crimes.
Virtually every petty official in Germany was a member of the Nazi Party in 1945. These people weren't criminals and were never charged.
I blame Justin Beiber. OTOH, I blame Justin Beiber for everything bad. I stub my toe, Justin Beiber, I have a turkey sandwich and the meat is a little dry, damn you Justin Beiber, damn you to hell.
Again though, my point is why HE didn't say anything. I mean fuck, if anyone would know anything about potential red flags regarding a unit, it would be a dude who actually served in it. Even if he thinks he did nothing wrong, he must be aware of the optics. As they say, Hitler: Why we can't have nice things. Just ask the Finnish Air Force.
I guess I am your age, and I am a WW2 geek, so I knew of the unit. Not all the details, but enough to go all Woo Young Woo with the whoa whoa.
Cleared or not, the optics are not good.
Like I said, the pattern here is to jump on the gun / news while it still hot....fuck all what outcome it will have later... JT getting 2nd hand info and accused India responsible for the murder of a known enemy of India....why is this a surprise really?Before inviting old WW2 guys a background check needs to be done!. What a lay up to Russian Propaganda that has been claiming to "Denazify Ukraine".
If these guys couldn't even do THIS background check, wonder, what they are claiming to know about India's involvement in Nijjar's killing! Most likely nothing but hot air.
Sounds pretty gay positive to me. I mean if I am going to do the gay, I'll take a guy who is hung. Not moose cock hung, but if I am going to go there, I'll do it right.
No homo.
Also no idea if moose are hung.
Ignoring the whole opps we shot those guys, I think they were trying to surrender thing, did we really execute Nazis regardless of record.
Hess died in prison in 1987
Speer in 2017
Von Krosigk who was minister of finance and defacto chancellor for a month at the end, died in 1977
Schacht in 1970
I am sure if anyone gave a shit they could find Nazis who were not executed, and probably many who were never tried or convicted of war crimes either.
Inglorious Bastards was a wonderful movie, nice revenge fantasy, clever elements etc... but it always bothered me when they assumed every German was a Nazi, on a semi related note
Speaking of which...my father who was a WW2 Veteran under McArthur fighting Japan once told me the book "The Odessa File" had some truth to it....not all German soldiers were bad...some Wermacht Soldiers were executed by the SS if suspected of planning a coup d'etat...even when there's was no evidence...paranoid pieces of shits....My uncle who was an engineer during WW2 helped blowing up bridges to impede Japanese supplies... those stories i've heard from my elders I have treasured always...god bless the guys who fought for freedom...
How about the men who had no choice but to fight for the wrong side, like my father.
I don't get it, Justin goes full Adolph Menjou?

''B’nai Brith Canada’s CEO, Michael Mostyn, said it was outrageous that Parliament honored a former member of a Nazi unit, saying Ukrainian “ultra-nationalist ideologues” who volunteered for the Galicia Division “dreamed of an ethnically homogenous Ukrainian state and endorsed the idea of ethnic cleansing.”

So if B'nai Brith knew this old Ukrainian Nazi guy was hanging around in Canada, why didn't they do anything about it?
How come they didn't make his name public or try to get him charged with war crimes?
Cos he's 100 years old and has no idea how he might be perceived outside his own ethnic community?
Yuh. There have been ongoing issues about the unit and how it is / should be perceived in Canada since the 1950's.
Folks younger than us are maybe not as aware and make mistakes.
It's getting to the point that I'm the only guy around old enough to actually have gotten drunk with Abe Lincoln and Ulysses Grant and to note their odd body odour and dirty fingernails. Kids these days have no idea!
