    That is an absolutely hilarious political move in this situation. It fucks things right up.

    Think of the calculus here. You applauded this nazi but you’re pretending now that your applause was accidental. What do you do? Refuse to extradite the nazi? That’s gonna make it look like you’re full of shit about your applauding being a mistake.

    Either they agree to the extradition to cover their asses or they look like nazis. Either way this story stays news relevant for a good while now and they were hoping it would die down quickly.

        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.

        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.
