I swear to you that I believe the Holocaust happened.

I’m trying to say that one man, who was 18 years old, in 1943, living in Ukraine (which was part of the Soviet Union at the time), might have had limited options in what he did for a living.

And if he didn’t want to his people to be a part of the Soviet Union then he could have ended up on a unit that was working against the Soviet Union. I’m not saying that was right or wrong. I’m just saying it’s more complicated than “this guy was a Nazi” and the whole government of Canada is full of idiots.

I’m not arguing that the Holocaust didn’t happen.

I just linked an article stating that this singular Ukranian man fought on a unit that was found to have committed no war crimes.

Apparently I’m having trouble with links. Lol.

I tried to link the article in my comment. I believe it was also linked on Canada earlier today.

This article kind of sucks.

Here is an article that paints a more nuanced picture and doesn’t call every MP an idiot.

Not blaming you for posting, OP. Just wanted to offer a take with more depth than “Nazis bad” Everyone knows Nazis are bad. This situation is more complex than that.

Yeah, this ones just random paragraphs. Nice try though.

Don’t have any sources but it seems pretty likely that Canadian hate groups have similar sponsors to American ones so it’s a little like planting the same seeds in different soil, it’s not really a surprise when you get the same tomatoes.

I don’t know that it’s the frivolous spending that has people using food banks.

I can appreciate the sentiment here (I actually have a coworker with rich parents who practically gives me an aneurism every time she mentions her finances) but I don’t think the people who are frequenting the food banks are the ones who are choosing between upgrading to the latest phone and keeping their old one, I think people using food banks are the ones deciding between eating and paying the cheapest phone bill they could find.

Not trying to argue with you for the sake of arguing either, just wanted to advocate for some empathy.
