Vandalized Ukrainian nazi memorial in Edmonton, Canada. Hundreds of Ukrainian veterans of the 14th Waffen SS Division migrated to Canada after WWII.
A 98 year old veteran of the division received a standing ovation in the Canadian Parliament yesterday, with Ukrainian President Zelensky even raising his fist to honor the old nazi.
A regular Thursday evening for a family living in north Edmonton quickly turned to terror as the Edmonton Police Service tactical team banged in their door.
Alberta RCMP said officers believed there could be a victim held a gunpoint — but it turned out to be a false allegation.
The frightening mistake happened Thursday, Nov. 2 around 5:20 p.m. at a home near 148th Avenue and 75A Street in the Kilkenny neighbourhood, and was captured on security camera video.
