And yes, the proper vetting was the easiest way to not let this happen, and it failed miserably.

Honestly, and I'm not giving them a pass on this, how much vetting are they doing for a 98 year old "war hero"? I feel like this was an obvious "support the troops" kind of thing that just went horribly wrong. And all of the CPC, and Zelensky were standing there applauding the guy where no one seemed to catch on that the Soviets were our allies at that point, so this guy was fighting for the other side.
Don't get me wrong, the Liberals are just involved in misstep after misstep at this point, and it's gotten ridiculous. But I have my doubts as to how much serious vetting would take place regardless of who the government of the day is.
