Federal officials in other departments have also continued to warn Canadian Heritage that the inclusion of Nazi collaborators on the memorial would cause international embarrassment. “It is important to note that many anti-communist and anti-Soviet advocates and fighters were also active Nazi collaborators, who committed documented massacres,” Global Affairs Canada officials warned their counterparts at Canadian Heritage in 2021. Those records were obtained by the Ottawa Citizen using the access-to-information law.

        For a real fun time, we could cross-reference the list of groups that are accused of being Ruzzian for saying the Holocaust was bad with the list of groups accusing others of being antisemites for saying the Gaza genocide is bad.

        I guess I’m saying that a significant part of western “civilization” is just genocide enthusiasts standing in a circle pointing at each other without even a hint of irony lmao.
