Canada

A good apology. I don't think they knew.

I went to a remembrance day ceremony in a church last year and then later found out one of the soldiers we honored was SS. The person that put his name in even made excuses like "everybody thought they were fighting the good fight" etc etc. It's a good thing it was a posthumous honor, because if he was there I would have been on the phone.

There are a lot of people who are still unsure about whether the Nazis were really evil, or just on the other side of a bad war, and trying to erase, or whitewash their relatives crimes. It isn't a partisan thing either, as the church group is very much not Liberal leaning.

This sounds like an article title straight from the Beaverton 🤔

I'm not an anti Trudeau idiot ... I don't mind the liberal party .. I support the Trudeau government ... I'm an NDP supporter personally

But in an age of mass communication, information at everyone's finger tips, government agencies with endless personal data, legions of communication professionals and government researchers, assistants upon assistants checking, double checking everything ....

How the hell does something like this happen?

It either shows how dumb the government can be

Or

It was deliberate and just another distraction for all of us to fight about.

In a time when everything is so meticulously monitored, catalogued and manufactured ... I really have my suspicions about all this.

Now the headlines, especially conservative ones will talk about this for the next month.

Was it just another planned event to clog up the conversation for another month? Or is the government really this dumb?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Speaker of the House Anthony Rota apologized Sunday for honouring a man who fought in a Nazi unit during the Second World War.

Rota was responding to condemnation from Jewish groups and others stemming from a moment during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit to Parliament on Friday.

I wish to make clear that no one, including fellow parliamentarians and the Ukraine delegation, was aware of my intention or of my remarks before I delivered them," Rota said.

"The independent Speaker of the House has apologized and accepted full responsibility for issuing the invitation and for the recognition in Parliament.

"The fact that this individual, and by proxy the organization he was a member of, was given a standing ovation in the House of Commons is deeply troubling," Dan Panneton, a director with the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Centre, told CBC News on Sunday.

In a statement on Friday, Pierre Poilievre accused the prime minister of responsibility for the incident and called for him to apologize.

The original article contains 516 words, the summary contains 163 words. Saved 68%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

I'm so confused on what the hell happened here 😆

The speaker invited Hunka to Parliament on the day zelensky was there. Then praised the former Nazi?

Was this some house of cards season 11 move?
