I thought Rachel was pretty chill but looks like she’s the same as the rest. I followed her because she’s a journalist that goes after Canadian conservatives but this stunt is just embarrassing because how are you going to focus on “Russian propaganda” when the real issue was giving a Nazi a standing ovation in general. War or not this is a BAD look.
Also in a comment I made on a post about Vijay Prashad’s Tweet about the whole incident I mentioned a thread by a Canadian politician and I found it!
I stated in my comment that he had a grey check mark but I was mistaken. I guess because he was in the parliament my brain automatically added the check to his name as most government officials do.
“The dude unknowingly applauded who served in a Nazi military unit”
Oh he knew. You don’t announce someone as “fighting against the soviets in WW2” without everyone knowing exactly what that means. Also they can just say Nazi. If you volunteer to serve in a nazi military unit, you are by definition a Nazi. No need to be coy about the phrasing.
I shouldn’t be surprised anymore, but the fact that they are more worried about giving Russia propaganda fuel instead of the fact that they just celebrated a nazi says a lot. They aren’t upset at the act, only that they got called out on it and the truth looks bad for them.
She’s really infantilizing the man.
Funny how all these libs scream “Russian propaganda” everytime the west actively chooses to platform nazis. I really have no respect for these people, they’re showing their true colours at this point, they aren’t outraged about their politicians supporting nazis, they’re just mad that it keeps proving Russia right when they say the west supports nazis.
Is it propaganda if it’s true?
Propaganda is when they say bad things about my country!
Anything Russia does is propaganda and disinformation even if it’s reporting on a factual event. She’s just another Russophobic Canadian…
Ok if you don’t want to give Russian propaganda a win, how about you don’t invite a Waffen fucking SS veteran to an ovation ceremony?
Of course all the people descended of holocaust survivors will be mobilized and will milk their family’s tragic history to combat this PR disaster, honestly they’re trying very hard to put the blame onto something once again, except there’s literally nothing, nothing to suggest to an outlandish situation like the russians, or the chinese, or the martians deliberately made people invite, applaud, and spoke with a Nazi.
Common KKKracker L, may your nation burn.
The only reason why this is a problem is because it gives the Russians “ammunition” to use in their “disinformation.” They’re more focused on that than the actual problem, It’s so frustrating.
yep, it’s a “disinformation disaster” indeed. makes it harder to spread your disinformation about this war, eh?
The Speaker has accepted full responsibility, does that mean they will get sacked?
(obviously not they just issue an apology and carry on as normal)
A bunch of politicians are calling for the speaker to resign even though those same politicians gave the Nazi a standing O. They should all be gone but instead they’ll keep pointing fingers away from themselves.
but they’ve apologized and promised not to do it again why are you so mean to this useless government position that was only created to give someone’s friend a ton of money 😭
They are Nazis. This even debatable anymore.
