There Are Nazis in Ukraine,
and Canada—Look to the UK!
[Print version of this article]
Sept. 29—A scandalous event occurred in Canada’s capital, Ottawa, on September 22, which brought into the open a secret about Ukrainian Nazis living in Canada. The event was a special session of Parliament, which heard a speech by Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelensky, praising Canada for generously backing the NATO proxy war in Ukraine, while pleading for more support, to keep that war against Russia going. As part of the festivities, the Speaker of the Parliament, Anthony Rota, introduced a 98-year-old man who was in the gallery.
That man was Yaroslav Hunka, who Rota described as a “Canadian hero” who “fought [for] Ukrainian independence against the Russians.” This was greeted by an eruption of wild cheering, of two standing ovations, including from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Zelensky, who was beaming, and gave the Ukrainian veteran a clenched fist salute. It didn’t take long for the world to know what should have been obvious from the start. This “hero” had been a Ukrainian member of a murderous outfit, the 14th Division of the Waffen SS, the combat branch of the Nazi Party’s parliamentary Schutzstaffel (SS) organization. Its formations included men from Nazi Germany, along with conscripts and volunteers from both occupied and unoccupied lands. One of those volunteers was Yaroslav Hunka, whose unit has been documented to have murdered both Jewish and Polish civilians. Among the massacres by Ukrainians in the 14th Division was the infamous Huta Pieniacka massacre in February 1944, in which more than 600 Polish villagers were burned alive.
Why should it have been obvious? Is it possible that those cheering deliriously, in full-throated voices, were unaware that it was Hitler who was “fighting against the Russians” in World War II, and that the Ukrainians involved in this were on Hitler’s side? After all, Canada was allied with the Soviet Union in the war, and 44,000 Canadians died fighting to defeat the Nazis! Could it possibly be that all of the celebrants were unaware of that?
The event has been described in most media as a “scandal” and an “embarrassment” for Canada, which is what Trudeau mumbled coldly in his weak apology days afterward. But it was more than that. It brought into the open the history that Ukraine’s NATO partners in today’s proxy war against Russia have done their best to hide: That there are still Nazis in Ukraine, fighting again against Russia, who trace their lineage to those Ukrainians like Hunka, who fought side by side with Hitler’s SS, under the leadership of one of the leading Nazi collaborators from then, Stepan Bandera, who remains a hero to today’s Ukrainian racist nationalists—and to Canada’s.
Ukrainians from the Galician SS Division, like Hunka, were moved to Canada after World War II by the British, and have been protected by the government since then. The current Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, Chrystia Freeland, an outspoken supporter of the war against Russia, who was literally jumping with joy during Zelensky’s appearance and the introduction of Hunka, is the granddaughter of the editor of the Nazi-run newspaper in Krakow during the war, which ran editorials supporting pogroms against Jews and non-Ukrainians. As is typical in explaining away such inconvenient truths, Freeland describes the allegations against her grandfather as “Russian disinformation.”
Trudeau, in his “apology,” used the same formulation, warning that Canadians must be vigilant against “Russian disinformation”!
Fred Haight:
Canada Is a UK Outpost
What follows is an edited transcript of a presentation by Fred Haight, a Canadian commentator, given to the September 23 Manhattan Project weekly dialogue (online), which provides essential background on Canada’s role as a British “colony” in the world today. An audio recording of that program is available here.
After that wonderful presentation on music by Renée Sigerson, I will mention that Lyndon LaRouche often said that it was dissonance that drove musical development. We certainly have a dissonance in the case we’re talking about. It’s interesting what has been said about the image of Canada as being so nice and friendly and peaceful, a country that would never hurt a fly. When Canada first started giving military aid to Ukraine, they said they were only going to give non-lethal aid—Kevlar, uniforms, radios, etc. Now, they’re bragging about eight Leopard tanks, all kinds of anti-aircraft missiles, and the Canadian Air Force flying in military goods from all over the world.
And indeed, Zelensky did get a better response in Canada than anywhere else. Trudeau said, “We are with you whatever it takes.” But he also said something interesting, when he said that Ukraine is the tip of the spear for what the 21st Century is going to look like. Chrystia Freeland said something similar earlier, when she said that changes in the economy of the whole world are going to be determined by this war. So, they’ve got what is sometimes called the Great Reset in mind, and Ukraine is just the pawn in that.
Canada and the British Empire
I’ll come back to Canada’s role in Ukraine, because it’s been a leader in this from the beginning, but first I have to say something that people might find shocking, upsetting, but there’s no point in mincing words about it, which is that Canada is not an independent country. The British Empire still exists, and Canada is part of the British Empire as much as it ever was.
There are a million ways I could prove that, but I think the most dramatic is simply this: Canada in 1982, for the first time, adopted its own constitution. It didn’t have one before that; the previous constitution was known as the British North America Act; it didn’t even have the name Canada in its title. In 1982, Pierre Trudeau [former Prime Minister, father of the present Prime Minister] and Queen Elizabeth II signed the Proclamation bringing the constitution into force.
Would you not think in this modern day and age, that even though you might cherish your long-standing relationship with the British Isles, that you would want to be a republic? Would you really adopt a constitution that keeps Queen Elizabeth as the Queen of Canada? Because it does. Not the Queen of England ruling over Canada, but the Queen of Canada. And she was also the Queen of 15 Commonwealth countries. Now Charles III is King of New Zealand, King of Australia, and the others.
Who Runs Canada
This also made the monarch the head of state of the country. Charles III is now the official head of state of Canada. And, in traditional terms of monarchies and empires, the monarch is the sole source of sovereignty. All sovereignty flows from the monarch. Therefore, Canada can be referred to as a constitutional monarchy. The main person in charge is a viceroy named the Governor General. Viceroy means the person standing in for the king, and thus, invested with all of those powers of sovereignty. The Governor General is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, dissolves Parliament, assembles Parliament, reads the speech from the throne, appoints the Senators, appoints the Supreme Court, and appoints the Privy Council.
The three branches of government—executive, legislative, and judicial—sounds like the United States, but it’s not. The Executive branch is the Governor General plus the Prime Minister and the Cabinet. The Legislative branch is the Governor General, plus the House of Commons and the Senate. The Judicial branch is headed by the Supreme Court, appointed by the Governor General. Everything has to go through him.
Now, many people will complain and get hysterical, saying, “this is all ceremonial, they’re just figureheads,” etc. Well, have you ever heard a member of the British monarchy refer to themselves as mere figureheads? They’re not figureheads, because Cabinet decrees are enacted in Canada, through what are called federal Orders-in-Council. The Governor General appoints what is known as the Privy Council, supposedly on the advice of the Prime Minister, but he doesn’t have to. All of this is done by tradition and custom.
The Governor General, however, reserves the power to break with the customs any time he decrees it necessary. When he acts on the advice of the Privy Council, which he appoints, the institution is known as the Governor in Council or the King in Council, and what is passed are known as Orders-in-Council. Sometimes these are just appointments, but sometimes they are laws, and sometimes, they pass what are known as Secret Orders-in-Council.
A Secret Order-in-Council has the force of law, but only a few Cabinet members need to be informed of it—the population is kept in the dark, the Parliament is kept in the dark; they don’t know about it. The only way to know that a Secret Order-in-Council has taken place is a missing number in the Privy Council’s database. If a number is skipped between two regular Orders-in-Council, it means that a Secret Order has taken place.
Last year, the CBC [Canadian Broadcasting Corporation] revealed that whereas there had been periods in the early 2000s when Canada went with no Secret Orders in Council for years, once Justin Trudeau took over in 2015, there have been 72 Secret Orders-in-Council since that time, and they were all associated with COVID-19, with the Truckers’ Convoy that converged on Ottawa (where our Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland actually seized bank accounts of people who bought as much as a T-shirt supporting that convoy), and around the Ukraine crisis.
This is the most egregious to me: on May 7, 2022, Justin Trudeau flew to Kiev for a surprise meeting with Zelensky the next day. The day before he left, four Secret Orders-in-Council were passed. Nobody knows what they were; the government won’t say what they were. That is actually the power—it’s not a “Deep State,” it’s right out in the open.
In England, the Privy Council has been around since [Tudor times], and has openly worked that way. So, that is the way that Canada is actually being governed.
Canada and Ukraine
Now, in the case of Ukraine, when Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada ratified the Act of Declaration of Independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, Canada was the second country in the world to recognize after Poland. The next year in 1992, Canada set up an embassy; in 1994, the Governor General of Canada, Ray Hnatyshyn, who happens to be of Ukrainian descent, made the first official visit of a foreign Head of State to Ukraine. So, Canada has been involved in supporting this thing from the very beginning.
Canada boasts of having the third largest Ukrainian population in the world, after Russia and Ukraine itself. But that also goes way back. The first wave of Ukrainian immigration into Canada was 1891, after a century of Britain playing the Great Game with Russia. These Ukrainians were mostly from the western part of Ukraine, the Galician area, which had been under the Austro-Hungarian Empire, whereas the rest of Ukraine had been under the Russian Empire. Before World War II, in 1940, the Canadian government banned the Communist Party, seized all of the Ukrainian Labor Temples. At that point, the only Ukrainian organizations that were allowed to exist were right-wing so-called Ukrainian nationalists.
After the war, thousands were displaced, unable to control where they were going. Many Ukrainians and others arrived in Canada. Most were good people; they were fine people; some of them are our friends today. But there was a deliberate effort to bring over those who had been involved with Stepan Bandera and the OUN [Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists].
They immediately started educating Ukrainian youth in the Nazi tradition around the goal of freeing Ukraine. They set up a Roman Shukhevych Center for Youth in Alberta. Shukhevych was a Nazi collaborator, one of the commanders in charge of Bandera’s UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army), and a perpetrator of the Galicia-Volhynia massacre, which murdered 100,000 Poles. A Ukrainian language paper in Alberta wrote back then, “We are training a new generation of Ukrainians who someday, they or their children will go back and liberate our country from the Soviets.” That was planned from the first.
Chrystia Freeland is the Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of Canada. Her grandfather, Michael Chomiak [Mykhailo Khomiak], and his family, came over to Canada after the war. He had been the editor-in-chief of a pro-Nazi, Ukrainian language [daily] paper [founded in 1940] known as News from Krakow. Chrystia Freeland just lied and said her parents left when the Nazis invaded; they didn’t. They stuck around for five years and ran this journal. She was indoctrinated in this since she was five years old. They had Ukrainian Sunday schools; they had scouts named Plast. She wrote as an eight-year-old about it. This is what she was brought up to do. She actually endorsed Stepan Bandera, who was the head of the OUN. These people massacred Poles; they helped the Nazis liquidate Jews at Babi Yar.
When the Nazis invaded Ukraine, Bandera declared a free Ukrainian state, sympathetic to the Nazis. Yaroslav Stetsko immediately was declared President. He worked out of Canada for a long time. I’ve got photographs of young Ukrainians in brownshirts walking around holding photographs of Stetsko. So, this has been built up and manipulated in Canada for a long time. The current potential to expose this, has been a long time coming.
After a recent visit with the editors of the New York Times, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau remarked that things are really bad in Canada. The economy is bad, and he himself was worried about populism, about people following a demagogue or a strong-man. There is resistance all over Canada. Just a couple of days ago, there were demonstrations against brainwashing children to believe that they’re gay and have to go through a sex change operation. So, there is resistance to this all over the place. The people can’t live; they can’t afford to eat; they can’t afford gas. But they’ve got this idea that Canada is this nice little friendly country, as you said, and that it’s the big bad United States doing it to them. They’re not going to get anywhere unless they realize what is actually going on. Americans also need to realize that this operation is being run by the British Empire; the British Empire still exists....
I’ll just give one more example of how this works. When the financial crisis of 2008 hit, the Governor of the Bank of Canada (2008–2013) was Mark Carney, who didn’t allow Canada to buy into sub-prime mortgages, and was thus touted as a genius. He was then made Chairman of the Financial Stability Board at the Bank for International Settlements (2011–2018), and recommended bail-ins. He said the next time this happens, the government won’t bail it out, they’ll take money out of your bank account in order to bail it out. Then, he was considered such a genius, he was made the Governor of the Bank of England (2013–2020). This is the first time in history that someone who was not an English citizen became Governor of the Bank of England. The only way that could happen is that they really don’t consider Canada a different country, but part of the empire.
Now of course Carney’s become the man who says that it is the central bankers of the world who must dictate policy with regard to climate issues because it’s too important to leave this to governments. Central bankers will force this change in authority through by economic means.
So, that is what Canada is. It’s leading this operation on the part of the British Empire.
