Controversial Nazi Monument and Trudeau's Troubles Spark Outrage in Canada

Canada's parliament mistakenly applauded a 98-year-old Nazi veteran, reigniting calls for the removal of a monument honoring his unit, the 14th Waffen SS Division, from a Canadian cemetery. Yaroslav Hunka served in the unit, which was mainly composed of Ukrainians. The monument, located in Oakville's St Volodymyr Ukrainian Cemetery, has faced controversy and vandalism in the past. Jewish groups are advocating for its removal, while some Ukrainians argue that the unit fought to free their country from Soviet rule. The Galicia Division, to which Hunka belonged, has been accused of war crimes, including the killing of Polish civilians. A Polish minister has expressed intentions to extradite Hunka from Canada for prosecution in Poland.
