[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (2 children) First of all how old were you when it happened? I bet you got the sanitised, revisionist version, after some years plenty believed it had to do with WMD's and never heard of the US warcrimes. (Same thing happened after decades of Hollywood fantasy movie propaganda when people in EU began to believe the US won the war and not the never mentioned Soviets) I'm sure I know more about it or history in general you since we have better education than you Canadians and. I'm sure with the many many SS Galicia warcriminals that moved there, and their offspring like Freeland whitewashing them I think you probably don't know enough about your own country. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] badwetter@kbin.melroy.org [S] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children) @Bloomcole@lemmy.ml Sadly, you're right about my country — most Canadians don't know that many Ukrainian Banderaites immigrated to Canada during the Cold War. They had to be stringent anti-communists, so obviously that would be people from western Ukraine. And yes, just like our former Deputy PM, Chrystia Freeland. Her Grandfather was an official Nazi. I've heard that Alberta has some statues glorifying Bandera, possibly in Sask and Manitoba too, where there are other pockets of Ukrainian diaspora. It appears that some Canadians on Lemmy are followers of this ideology, judging by many of their comments, like the fool you're responding to. Probably why the western provinces of Canada Alberta always vote hard right. @BombOmOm@lemmy.world @commander@lemmings.world @60d@lemmy.ca @yogthos@lemmy.ml @Jimius@lemmy.ml permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Bloomcole@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 child) And it continues: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/12/30/cypl-d30.html immigrated to Canada during the Cold War.
