      Because Canada fucking loves Nazis. Same reasons they let tens of thousands in after WW2, same reason their deputy PM is the unapologetic child of a Ukrainian Nazi, same reason they are part of the NATO Nazi alliance, same reason they clapped for a nazi in their parliament and thanked him for his service. THEY ARE NAZIS.

          And if they do extradite him, does that mean they secretly like Nazis, or how does this work in your view

          It’s not a secret, Canada loves their Ukrainian Nazis. Extraditing a single Nazi would just be them caving to political and media pressure. For me to believe that Canada no longer loves Nazis they would have to put all the remaining Nazis on trial and demolish all their Nazi monuments. They would probably also have to reverse the Canadian law rejecting the Nuremberg trials and declare the Waffen-SS a criminal organization.

          Look up who Chrystia Freeland’s grandfather was for more interesting facts about Canada and Nazis.

          They’re not going to. If by some fluke they do, it means the Polish lobby in Canada is more powerful than I realized and more powerful than the Ukrainian lobby. If the Jewish lobby gets involved, then maybe. Seems like it’s not going to have much to do with how Nazi Canada is or isn’t, and more to do with the competition between various special interest groups and who happens to have more leverage at the moment.

      Canada seems to be full of Ukrainian Nazis, their defense minister Chrystia Freeland’s grand father was the chief ediotor of a Ukrainian newspaper for the Nazis. There might be political support for the Nazi against extradition.

      First is guilt for putting him in this position. Second is the fact they don’t really think these crimes matter anymore, they really think it’s all over and that we’ve moved on from them.

        Am I wrong for thinking it’s an easy move on the part of Trudeau? He proves that it was an accident and they don’t support Nazis, and there won’t be any political push back either because nobody wants to look like they support Nazis.

      the liberals would feel guilty for convincing this guy to show his face and then getting him in trouble. they don’t really feel like he should be punished.
