        Tl:dr for those who don’t know: the Canadian House Speaker invited, alongside Zenlenskyi, Yaroslav Hunka to the parliament, which prompted a standing ovation. Sounds like nobody vetted him, as it turns out he’s, as you mentioned, a veteran of the 1st Galizien (volunteer division lol).

        I can’t believe the guy showed up. He could be deported. Oh well. 🤷‍♂️

      In 1950, Britain appealed to Commonwealth countries to admit them. Canada agreed to take 2,000, after being assured that their backgrounds had been checked and that they were cleared of complicity in war crimes.

      But according to recently released British documents and interviews with officials who conducted the investigations, they were not screened, partly because none of the interrogators spoke their language, Littman said.

      Fucking typical lazy arsed British effort.
