[Regnum] Canadian authorities, after investigating the activities of Yaroslav Hunka, who fought in the ranks of the SS “Galicia” division, who was honored on September 22 in parliament, should demolish the cenotaph to the SS men, which was installed in the province of Ontario, writes the local edition of the Toronto Sun.

As the publication says, a giant monument in honor of the 14th SS Division at the Ukrainian cemetery in Oakville was erected long before the scandal broke in September.

“This is a shame and a slap in the face to Canadian Jews. This is a spit on the grave of every Canadian veteran. Instead of renouncing these evil murderers who perpetrated the Holocaust and exterminated millions of innocent people, Canada is a place known for giving them a standing ovation and even having a giant memorial in their memory.

The Toronto Sun notes that Oakville Mayor Rob Burton said back in 2020 that he was disgusted to see the memorial in the city and, if provincial laws allowed for it to be demolished, he would have done so 14 years ago. He made this statement after unknown people wrote “Nazi war monument” on the cenotaph.

The local police, who were looking for vandals, noted in turn that they were shocked that such a monument even existed.

Meanwhile, amid the scandal in Canada, Polish Education Minister Przemyslaw Czarnek proposed considering the possibility of extraditing the former SS man. According to him, he sent a letter to the director of the Institute of National Remembrance of Poland, Karol Nawrocki , with a request to urgently study the documents to determine whether Jaroslaw Hunka is wanted for crimes against the Polish people and Poles of Jewish origin.

As Regnum reported, at a meeting of the Canadian Parliament in honor of the visit of the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, among others, 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka, a veteran of the SS Galicia division, was invited, whom speaker Anthony Rota introduced to the applause of the audience as “a fighter for Ukrainian independence against the Russians.” during the Second World War."

The First Ukrainian Division, also known as the 14th SS Volunteer Infantry Division “Galicia”, better known as the SS Division “Galicia”, was a tactical unit of Nazi Germany recruited from Ukrainian volunteers.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did not respond to the Hunka incident until September 25, four days later. He accused Russia of “provocation” and “disinformation”, and shifted responsibility for what happened to the Speaker of the House of Commons, Anthony Rota.

Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that Western countries have raised a generation that does not know who fought with whom, and this is fraught with the return of fascism to Europe. Russian Ambassador to Ottawa Oleg Stepanov emphasized that the incident with inviting a Nazi to the Canadian parliament is an outrage against the history of the country that participated in the anti-Hitler coalition.

“What happened on Friday is completely unacceptable. This is a shame for the House, for Canadians. I believe that the speaker should listen to the members of the chamber and resign,” the agency quotes the diplomat as saying.

As Regnum reported , on September 22, Canadian parliamentarians, together with the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky , who arrived on a visit to Canada, supported the 98-year-old SS man with applause. He was introduced to legislators as a veteran of the “struggle for Ukrainian independence against the Russians” during World War II.

Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov drew attention to the fact that many Western countries have raised a generation that does not know who fought with whom, this is fraught with the fact that fascism will appear here and there, it is trying to stand on its feet in the center of Europe.

Russians, Poles, Belarusians, Jews, and Gypsies became victims of Ukrainian nationalism. In 1941, several thousand Jews and hundreds of members of the Polish intelligentsia, including teachers and scientists, were killed in Lviv. On September 29, 1941, in the Kiev tract of Babi Yar, Bandera’s followers shot gypsies, Jews and Soviet prisoners of war. In one day, 33,771 people were killed. In total, about 100–150 thousand people were shot.
