Also while we talk about the lack of vetting for guests of parliment. There are pictures of Hunka waiting to meet Trudeau and Zelenskyy in a private reception, and Hunka meeting MP's "backstage". If find it hard to believe that there isn't serious vetting for someone getting back stage so to speak and shaking hands with MP's and meeting the leader of the country.

I keep going back to Rota's speech when he said he fought the Russian's in WW2 in Ukraine and he literally stuttered and his eye brows went up. He seemed to be surprised. And had that oh shyte look on his face.
Before this all blew up, I remember hearing this line. Now I wasnt watching or anything so I didnt see any facial expressions but:

"He fought against the Russians in WWII on the Eastern Front."

Well...that means he was, at the very least, fighting for an Axis power and in that instance the only one really around in that theater were the Nazis.

This isnt rocket science. This is Jr. High History splashed with a dash of basic deductive reasoning.

You can say he was 'fighting for the liberation of Ukraine' but seriously? Thats BS. In the 1940s that wasnt even realistically a thing. That wasnt even on the table. There were more pressing matters afoot.

So as I said, when I read this I immediately thought: "Well that doesnt make any sense."

And then this crapstorm ensued. But my immediate reaction was "this is going to be problematic."

How nobody who gets paid to do this kind of thing for a living didnt immediately spot the problem is what I find hard to believe.
