transcription after the cut

The Edmonton Branch of the Association of United Ukrainian Canadians (AUUC) condemns the honoring of a nazi Ukrainian World War II veteran, a member of the notorious 14th Waffen SS Division "Halychyna", in the House of Commons during the visit of Ukrainian President Zelenskiy last Friday, 22 September, 2023.

Our Association, founded in 1918 in Winnipeg as the Ukrainian Labor Temple Association, has an unblemished record of opposing fascism, in word and deed, before and after WWII, in Canada, in the Ukrainian-Canadian community, and abroad. Our members fought heroically in the Spanish Civil War, on the side of the Republican government, against fascism. They fought for Canada, allied with the Soviet Union, against nazi Germany and fascist Italy in WWII.

It is therefore unbelievable to us, as to most other Canadians, that when the individual in question, Yaroslav Hunka, was introduced in parliament as a Ukrainian veteran of WWII who fought against Russia, no one in attendance, all of whom gave him two standing ovations, realized what this meant. We know exactly what it meant.

Now this shameful spectacle has been publicized to all Canadians, and throughout the world. We welcome this publicization. We hope it will lead to a reckoning. Some steps in this direction have already been taken. The speaker of the House of Commons has resigned. An endowment in the name of Yaroslav Hunka at the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, at the University of Alberta, has been returned. We welcome these steps. But they are only first steps. Much more must be done. The problem is greater than simply one nazi, one speaker, and one endowment.

It is estimated that two thousand members of the 14th Waffen SS Division "Halychyna" were allowed into Canada after WWII. Our Association, immediately at that time, publicized and opposed their entry, to our everlasting credit. This figure does not include other nazis and nazi-collaborators, of various nationalities. That means thousands of Yaroslav Hunkas. Several of them went on to occupy prominent and leading positions in certain other Ukrainian-Canadian organizations, in religious institutions, educational institutions, and state institutions. The Canadian state supports, with funding and semi-official recognition, Ukrainian-Canadian organizations that unapologetically honor these nazis. If honoring Yaroslav Hunka in the House of Commons was a shameful act that had to be corrected, then so must all these other cases be corrected.

We therefore call on the Canadian state at all three levels (federal, provincial, municipal) to halt all state funding to all Ukrainian-Canadian organizations which honor any Ukrainian nazis or nazi-collaborators, including especially veterans of the 14th Waffen SS Division "Halychyna", until such time as these organizations explicitly and unequivocally apologize for having done so, severing all connections with all these nazis and nazi-collaborators, in all forms whatsoever.

We call for the removal and dismantling of two monuments to nazi Ukrainians in Edmonton: the monument to the veterans of the 14th Waffen SS Division "Halychyna" located in St. Michael's Cemetery, and the bust of Roman Shukhevych located at the Ukrainian Youth Unity Complex, preferably by their respective property owners, and if not by them, then by state compulsion.

We call on the government of Canada, and on the Liberal Party of Canada which formed the government at the time, to issue official apologies to our Association (the AUUC), in consultation with our Association, for banning it (then named the Ukrainian Labor-Farmer Temple Association) by an order in council in June 1940, seizing its properties, our halls and their contents (furniture, musical instruments, dance costumes, books, etc., most of which were destroyed), and interning our leaders in internment camps, acknowledging this as a terrible miscarriage of justice and act of oppression.

We call on all Canadians, all progressive Canadians, all decent Canadians, all anti-fascist Canadians, individually and through their various organizations, to support us in these calls for justice, by publicizing this statement, and pressuring their political representatives.

Red paint vandal who hit 4 churches after residential school graves found gets 3 months

A vandal who threw red paint on four Calgary churches a day after the announced discovery of 182 unmarked residential school graves was motivated by an Indigenous childhood spent in Venezuela's Catholic system, according to an agreed statement of facts.

Sebastian Rodriguez-Huerta was handed a three-month sentence, to be served at home under conditions, followed by nine months probation.

The fourth-year university student had pleaded guilty to hate-motivated mischief.  

"The vandalism was motivated by his childhood of growing up in Catholic churches, feeling as though he was lied to and his anger toward the discovery of mass graves and support for the Indigenous community," reads part of the agreed statement of facts....

Rodriguez-Huerta, now 25, was raised in Caracas and moved to Canada as a teenager.

According to submissions made by his lawyer at the sentencing hearing, Rodriguez-Huerta grew up as a practicing Catholic and an Indigenous Venezuelan who felt betrayed by the church.

Progress Alberta head pleads not guilty to vandalism of statue and cemetery 

Kinney was charged last year with vandalizing a statue of Roman Shukhevych outside the Ukrainian Youth Unity Complex in north Edmonton in August 2021. The statue of Shukhevych — a Ukrainian nationalist who fought alongside Nazi Germany and has been implicated in massacres of Jews and Poles — was spray painted with the words “Actual Nazi.”

Kinney is also charged with defacing a monument to Ukrainian Second World War dead at St. Michael’s Cemetery, which was painted with the words “Nazi monument” and “14th Waffen SS” around the time of the Shukhevych statue vandalism.

They prosecuted these guys quick, but meanwhile still no arrests in painting the Bagg Street Shul with a swastika last month or at the Beth Sholom Synagogue almost 2 years ago. Really shows what we care about in Canada.

Report: Are members of the World Economic Forum Nazi sympathisers? Does this explain their obsession with Ukraine? The Canadian Government to the shock and horror of many Jewish groups around the world praised and gave a standing ovation to a Waffen SS Nazi soldier who served under Hitler. Jewish advocacy organizations are demanding Canada’s Parliament apologize for giving a standing ovation to a man who fought for a Nazi unit during World War II. https://israelnationalnews.com/news/377442 Even the United Nations #UN now censures Canada over its celebration of a Ukrainian WW2 Nazi veteran. This has caused revulsion and deep hurt to the millions of people and relatives who died fighting this evil regime not least millions of Canadians. However is there a reason as to why they did this? Trudeau's deputy Prime Minister is Chrystia Freeland. She has family connections to the Nazi Party where her Ukrainian grandfather on her mother’s side, Michael Chomiak edited Krakivski Visti, a Nazi propaganda rag in occupied Krakow that was printed on a press confiscated from a Jewish newspaper. https://tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/chrystia-freeland-needs-to-come-clean-about-her-nazi-collaborationist-grandfather… In Edmonton, where Freeland was raised, there are two monuments commemorating Ukrainian Nazi collaborators. A bust of Roman Shukhevych, who massacred thousands of Jews and Poles, has stood outside the Ukrainian Youth Unity Complex since the 1970s, in addition to a monument to the 14th Waffen SS Division—which was celebrated in the pages of Krakivski Visti—at a local cemetery. In light of what has happened should these monuments now be taken down? Both Trudeau and Freeland and indeed many of their cabinet are active #WEF members with Freeland actually a senior board member of the World Economic Forum led and Chaired by German Klaus Schwab. The establishment media do not want you to know about World Economic Forum (WEF) founder Klaus Schwab’s deep connection to the Nazis – as it goes a long way in explaining the sinister ‘Great Reset‘ agenda being promoted by the elite today. https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/klaus-schwabs-nazi-roots-explain-the-great-reset-agenda/… In the pre-war years of the 1930s leading up to the German annexation of Poland, Ravensburg’s Escher-Wyss factory, managed directly by Klaus Schwab’s father, Eugen Schwab, continued to be the biggest employer in Ravensburg. Eugen Schwab continued to manage the “National Socialist Model Company” for Escher-Wyss, and the Swiss company would aid the Nazi Wermacht to produce significant weapons of war as well as more basic armaments. So it seems that with the "penetration" of western democracies and their cabinets as bragged about by Herr Schwab himself and their obsession with controlling people and subverting sovereign countries that we may need to come together globally to defeat a new evil that is rising with historical links to the regime that went on to murder millions of Jews and people around the world. Indeed many people already believe that there is an active #DepopulationAgenda in play and that the security apparatus being installed globally with #ULEZ #15minutecities and #CBDCs is to contain and force compliance in Schwabs New World Order #NWO A bit like a concentration camp perhaps only at the Global level? #KlausSchwab is building a prison planet aided and abetted by Globalists in every country with #Biden, #Macron and #Sunak as well as many other WEF Cultists taking their instructions from him. We now need a concerted effort at the Global level with #GlobalResistance to push back a new rising evil in our midst.

I want to show you how propaganda works in Ukraine! This is a book children read in Ukrainian schools! It says: "I’d like to dispel the myth that we, Banderites, are hating other ethnicities. This is not true. Moreover, people of various nations were UPA fighters: Jews, Germans, Poles. A Banderite is a Ukrainian who wants to be free, smart, and successful"! Generations of Ukrainians are raised in this bubble of fake history, and they can't just comprehend why the rest of the world currently sees Bandera and Roman Shukhevych as bloodthirsty Nazis!

ウクライナでプロパガンダがどのように機能するかをお見せしたいと思います。これはウクライナの学校で子供たちが読んでいる本です。 そこにはこう書かれている。「私たちバンデラ派が他の民族を憎んでいるという神話を払拭したい。これは真実ではない。さらに、ユダヤ人、ドイツ人、ポーランド人など、さまざまな国の人々が UPA の戦士だった。バンデラ派とは、自由で、賢く、成功したいと願うウクライナ人である」！ 何世代にもわたるウクライナ人は、この偽りの歴史のバブルの中で育っており、なぜ世界が現在バンデラとロマン・シュヘヴィッチを血に飢えたナチスと見なしているのか理解できないのだ！

Monuments to honour the First Ukrainian Division have caused controversy in recent years.

In 2021, a statue of Ukrainian military leader Roman Shukhevych and a monument to the fighters of the Waffen-SS Galicia Division in Edmonton were vandalized by someone who spray painted them with the words "Actual Nazi."

The Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center said at the time that it had been advocating for their removal for decades.

In 2020, a monument to the Waffen-SS Galicia Division in Oakville, Ont., was vandalized in a similar way.

The decision to admit Ukrainian immigrants who had served in the SS Waffen Division in the post-war period was contentious, with Jewish groups arguing they should be barred from the country.

The International Military Tribunal in Nuremburg declared the SS to be a criminal organization, including the SS Waffen in that declaration.

The Waffen-SS Galicia Division surrendered to the British army in 1945, and just over 8,000 men were moved to the United Kingdom in 1947.

In 1950, the federal cabinet decided to allow Ukrainians living in the U.K. to come to Canada "notwithstanding their service in the German army provided they are otherwise admissible. These Ukrainians should be subject to special security screening, but should not be rejected on the grounds of their service in the German army."

In 1985, then-prime minister Brian Mulroney called for a royal commission to examine whether Canada had become a haven for war criminals.

The Deschenes Commission found there were about 600 former members of the Waffen-SS Galicia Division living in Canada at the time. But Justice Jules Deschenes said membership in the division did not itself constitute a war crime.

Authorities in the city of Izyum, in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region, have decided to rename 19 streets in order to “de-Russify toponyms,” according to the city’s deputy mayor Volodymyr Matsokin.

According to the order, which he posted on Facebook, the changes include:

Vladimir Vysotsky Street will become Steve Jobs Street;

Viktor Tsoy Street will be renamed in honor of the Ukrainian musician Kuzma Skryabin;

a street named after the Soviet commander Ivan Chernyakhovsky will become Bucha Street;

Putinaya Street (which is related to the Russian word for “route,” but sounds like Putin), will be renamed Roman Shukhevych Street, in honor of the commander of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army.

Izyum was occupied by the Russian Army from April to September of 2022. After the Russian Army’s retreat, a mass grave of civilians was found in the city.

After the start of the war, many Ukrainian cities began actively renaming streets and taking down monuments connected with Russia, though this process had already begun before Russia’s full-scale invasion. In 2017, in connection with a law on decommunization, Izyum renamed Lenin Square Lennon Square.

In Moscow, after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, squares were named in honor of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk “people’s republics.” In other Russian cities, toponyms in honor of leaders of the “Donetsk People’s Republic,” including deceased separatist leader Alexander Zakharchenko, began to appear.

In the West, after the start of the war in Ukraine, some countries renamed streets where Russian diplomatic missions are located. In Prague, the Russian Embassy is now located on Ukrainian Heroes Street. In Vilnius, the Russian Embassy is on Heroes of Ukraine Street. And in Riga, it’s on Independence of Ukraine Street.

Edmonton Journal - Progress Alberta director to face 2024 jury trial on statue vandalism charges

Trial dates have been set for the editor of a progressive news website accused of vandalizing two Ukrainian monuments in 2021. Duncan Kinney was charged with mischief last year for allegedly spray painting the Ukrainian Youth Unity Complex’s bust of Roman Shukhevych, a Ukrainian nationalist figure linked to massacres of Jews and Poles during the Second World War.

The statue was sprayed with the words “Actual Nazi” in August 2021, a likely reference to Shukhevych’s collaboration with Nazi Germany. Some Ukrainian groups continue to embrace Shukhevych for his role in the country’s fight for independence and dismiss efforts to discredit him as Russian propaganda. Kinney is also accused of defacing a monument to Ukrainian Second World War dead at St. Michael’s Cemetery, which was painted with the words “Nazi monument” and “14th Waffen SS” around the time of the Shukhevych statue vandalism. The 14th Waffen SS was a volunteer formation of the Nazi paramilitary organization recruited from what is now southeastern Poland and western Ukraine.

Kinney, the executive director of the left-wing non-profit Progress Alberta, wrote about the vandalism on the Progress Report news site, reporting that it was the work of “an unknown person or persons.” He has pleaded not guilty and claims the charges stem from his critical reporting on the Edmonton Police Service.

Court records show Kinney will have a pre-trial conference on the charges in October, followed by a Court of King’s Bench jury trial starting Sept. 5, 2024.

Part 28.

When I talk about Ukrainian ultranationalists, this is not an allegory or an abstraction, it is a statement of fact. They positioned themselves that way. The main fighting force of those who staged anti-government fights on the Maidan and pogroms consisted for the most part of neo-Nazi fighters, fighters of the SNA, UNA UNSO, White Hammer, Right Sector, fans of Stepan Bandera and Roman Shukhevych, Reichophiles and fans of the SS Galicia division, football hooligans and many similar ones, and the informational support was carried out by the liberals, strange as it may seem at first glance.

According to the same scheme, Alfred Rosenberg relied on the use of Ukrainian Nazis and nationalists as a "ram" and "catalyst" for the collapse of territories in the east. There is nothing new in this for us - we have already seen it.

Graffiti spray-painted on a monument to Nazi soldiers in a small Canadian city is being investigated by police as a hate crime – a move that has prompted disbelief among human rights advocates.

Around 21 June, the words “Nazi war monument” were spray-painted on to a cenotaph commemorating soldiers in the 14th SS Division in an Ontario cemetery, the Ottawa Citizen reported.

The cenotaph is located in Oakville’s St Volodymyr Ukrainian cemetery, roughly 40km (25 miles) from Toronto.

Regional police have said they were treating the graffiti as a “hate-motivated” incident – but declined to release the wording of the message.

The 14th division was made up of Ukrainian nationalists who joined the Nazis during the second world war. Members of the division are believed to have murdered Polish women and children, as well as Jewish people.

Because of their role in Ukrainian nationalism, however, the soldiers have been commemorated by at least two diaspora communities in Canada.

It is against the law in Canada to make a public statement which “incites hatred against any identifiable group”. According to police, the “incident occurred to a monument and the graffiti appeared to target an identifiable group”, Constable Steve Elms told the Ottawa Citizen.

But a hate-crime investigation into Nazi sympathizers has confounded at least one prominent human rights expert.

“I am frankly dumbfounded!” tweeted Bernie Farber, chair of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, who added that he would gladly offer a workshop to officers to educate them on the nature of hate crimes – and called for a retraction by police.

“At no time did the Halton regional police service consider that the identifiable group targeted by the graffiti was Nazis,” the police said, instead suggesting it was the Ukrainian community that was targeted. “We regret any hurt caused by misinformation that suggests that the service in any way supports Nazism.”

The hate crime investigation comes as countries around the world grapple with difficult questions over monuments to people or groups with controversial or racist legacies. Two years ago, the city of Halifax removed a statue of Edward Cornwallis, a British general who offered a bounty for the scalps of the region’s indigenous Mi’kmaq people.

And in Victoria, the city council voted to remove a statue of John A MacDonald, the first prime minister of Canada and architect of the country’s notorious residential school system.

There are at least two other statues in Canada commemorating Ukrainians who fought alongside German forces. In Edmonton, a statue – partially funded by taxpayers – of Roman Shukhevych, a Nazi collaborator, has received scrutiny after the Russian embassy in Ottawa tweeted about “Nazi monuments” in Canada. There is also a second statue dedicated to the 14th SS Division in an Edmonton cemetery.
