They decided not to give the monument a standing ovation instead? Weird.
People were bringing it flowers before it got taken down, maybe they’ll riot once they hear the news that their precious Nazi monument was removed.
I am not surprised by the worship of Nazis by the Western European diaspora since they never condemn the Indian Residential fake school holocaust from 1850s to 1998 and secretly after 1998 that the Nazi imitated. The Western European diaspora only oppose the Nazi for the subjugation of the white people to the death camps and not the subjugation of the people of color in death camps across the Europen colonies and countries of European emigrants. Satanists (according to the biblical criteria) like Stephen Harper lied that the fake school holocaust were only "cultural genocide" to hide the growing evidences that the "Indian Residential Schools" are death camps in disguise. However, I am surprised that they openly display the worship of Nazi collaborators.
I wish this attitude would spread. I live across the street from a memorial to Nazis and just hate it so much. It gets vandalized at least once a month, but the city never fails to wash away the spray paint.
We do still have one too many statues to these people. I have seen one that gets routinely vandalized (maybe it’s the one you’re talking about) but I’m surprised no one has taken a hammer or something to it. I saw people on Twitter low-key defending keeping the memorial as you don’t know every individual soldiers motives for joining, so it’s mean or whatever to take it down. It’s quite pathetic but that’s where we’re at right now in the public discourse.
I hate Nazis. I wonder if that's a controversial statement in Canada.
It shouldn’t be but who knows nowadays… people online are muddying the waters of who and what i or isn’t a Nazi. Those people being commemorated in that monument? You don’t know every individual soldiers’ motives for joining, you can’t call all of them Nazis!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A controversial memorial to Ukrainian soldiers who served in a Nazi unit during the second world war has been removed from a Canadian cemetery following years of protests by community groups who described the shrine as “painful” and offensive.
The cenotaph, which had stood in the privately owned St Volodymyr Ukrainian cemetery in Oakville, Ontario, was removed on Saturday.
The removal of the memorial has once again highlighted Canada’s complicated legacy of resettling Ukrainian nationalists with strong ties to the Nazis.
But possible links to the Nazis were largely overlooked as the cold war set in, said Ivan Katchanovski, a political scientist at the University of Ottawa.
In September, the speaker of Canada’s parliament resigned after inviting a 98-year old veteran of the 14th Division to attend a special session of the house during a visit by Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Ukraine’s president.
Two other statues commemorating Nazi collaborators remain in Canada, but Wise said the removal of the Oakville shrine was a hard-won victory which reflected the value of honest discussion between groups.

Suck me off, Nazis. Lemme at least have some fun while you're being fucking Nazis. Get fucked.
