There's a difference between not being a war criminal and being deemed worthy of being hailed as a hero and given a standing ovation in the HOC.
Exactly, my point is for all those screaming for his arrest and charging with crimes.
Yeah, charging him with war crimes is likely a total non-starter. That’s a very different thing from getting MPs to do the clapping seal routine.
This is very bad for all the reasons you stated above. How the Speaker can look at this and not resign is beyond my comprehension.
Trudeau: “Awesome! Now no one is talking about China OR India!”

The complicated truth about Yaroslav Hunka
The 98-year-old WWII veteran Yaroslav Hunka was invited to the Parliament of Canada. Later, he was accused of involvement in the Holocaust.euromaidanpress.com
withhold evidence, don't actually investigate or talk to anyone, ignore actual war crime trial findings.... in other words, give the appearance of doing something but do nothing.
The respective political parties were all trying to grab the Eastern European vote at the time, so the Commission whitewashed anything controversial cuz.... politics.
There is more to it than that, as a Ukrainian or Pole, he would have had no choice apart from the SS if he wanted to fight the Soviets. The SS recruited foreign divisions because the Wehrmacht was throttling their recruiting in the fatherland, and funnelling it to the Wehrmacht. There was a power struggle between the two groups, and the army wanted to keep the SS as small as weak as possible.
The German Reich actually played the Slavs off each other for their own benefit.

Months? Likely not. Weeks perhaps or at least weeks for only a very limited group of people. A visit like this is normally a lot of last minute scrambling due to the massive security concerns.
This is the bit that drives me nuts; a simple google search immediately shows the division was part of the Waffen SS, that's a really low bar for due diligence. People do more to vet restaurants or car parts.
Well, there is one foolproof method of getting a new Speaker- a General Election.
Parliament is exempt from most if not all of TB guidelines and rules that the most of the federal Public Sector follows.
Suspect he’ll be gone within 48 hours.
I get that, it's more the upstairs/downstairs nature of things when we are drowning in levels of oversight and approval gates, and they can't be arsed to google someone before introducing them as a hero in parliament to a foreign leader on a dog and pony tour.
