The grandfather of Chrystia Freeland, Canada’s deputy prime minister, worked for a Nazi newspaper that recruited for the Galicia Division of the Waffen-SS — the same division as Yaroslav Hunka, the Nazi who was recently honored by Canada’s Parliament.
Noi don’t. I didn’t call the leadership of the Ukraine totalitarian, you are obviously misreading me.

I’m up for calling the Russian regime all the other names (authoritarian, totalist). If you listen to Zelenski, he doesn’t call the Russians Nazis, why? Because you get stuck in historical rethoric.
Just call them Russians. That should become the new bad guy word. Read back what I said, and you’ll see.
