Canada is not the US's hat. The US is Canada's pants.

The Trudeau government officially inaugurated Canada’s “Memorial to the Victims of Communism” earlier this month. However, no member of the Liberal government was allowed to show their face at the ceremony, for fear it would once again draw public attention to the Canadian state’s longstanding and ongoing patronage of fascist forces.

That's how you know you're doing the right thing, when you don't want anybody to acknowledge it exists

In a damning political admission, the Department of Canadian Heritage previously removed all the names listed on the “Victims of Communism” memorial wall. The move followed the release of a government-commissioned report calling for the removal of the names of over 300 individuals—more than half of the total inscribed on the monument—who were directly or potentially linked to the Nazis or the fascist organizations that collaborated with them during World War Two.

How you REALLY know you're doing the right thing

Should've just ordered the list by their rank in the Nazi army while you were at it

What do you suppose they do all day

I assume they just quietly hide whatever Canada's latest shame is

What is the memorial even if there are no names on it?
