[...] on an American initiative to settle Nazi war criminals in Canada

Jesus Christ, every awful event is always linked to the USA somehow. The world will be a much better place if they balkanise already

Edit:

The federal government declined to release the documents under the Access to Information law, claiming the records would harm U.S.-Canada relations at a time of ongoing tension.

Genuinely who gives a fuck anymore. They're going to be assholes either way and at this point it seems like Americans would just be proud of the release anyway

    No, not American, and not sure when. I just hate nazis. To add i am in almost every case imaginable against capital punishment. There are very very small exceptions in my books.

    What do you do with teenage soldiers as young as 15? Not a hypothetical: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12th_SS_Panzer_Division_Hitlerjugend

    Bearing in mind they grew up knowing no political climate other than Nazi Germany. They would have been 3 when Hitler took power.

    The division committed several war crimes while en route to and during the early battles of the Allied Normandy landings, including the Ascq and Normandy massacres, and several massacres, arsons and rapes in the cities of Plomion, Tavaux, Bouillon, Godinne, Hun, Rivere, Warnant and Namur.

    Germany had plenty to fill their prisons with, which they didn't do:

    "But while in West Germany and united Germany between 1946 and 2005, cases were brought against 140,000 individuals, only 6,656 were convicted of Nazi crimes. And 'the vast majority of sentences, just under five thousand (4,993), were relatively lenient, with terms of imprisonment of up to two years,' Fulbrook writes."

  • Yes, but his grandfather fled Canada for S. Africa after they banned talk of technostates because it involved taking down the government. See here.

    This same philosophy is where Curtis Yarvin got the Dark Enlightenment movement (think dark MAGA and Elon's black maga hat). Yarvin fans are Peter Theil, JD Vance, and others. There is a whole movement to dismantle the US gov for a techno monarchy that can be traced back to Elon's grandfather in Canada.

    It's scary that so many people don't know about the Dark Enlightenment and accelerationist reactionary agenda.

    Yeah because the conservatives did anything about it at any time they were in power. Also fascism, of which naszis are the archetype example, is a conservative philosophical extreme. Do you just post the same anti-ljberal bot comments everywhere you go?

    Just like when it was a mistake for applauding a Nazi right in Parliment. Just a little woopsie, who would have known that a Ukrainian Soldier in 1939 would have been a nazi, I mean they did after all fight the dirty Communists.

    Every single MP should be in jail for having applauded that human garbage. They should have all done the fucking Elon salut right at that 92 year old shit stain and shown their true colours.

    It's good to know our own history and also so we don't mistakenly applaud fascists in our parliament again, or if they want to run for public offices, or pass regressive bylaws, or if their descendants are part of certain separatist movements.

    That's why this is specific to war criminals.

    I don't have a horse in this race, but "sins of our fathers" is a pretty problematic argument for tracking/flagging someone imo.

    Are any of these people even still alive?

    I feel like being part of a supremacist movement today becomes the sins of the individual rather than the father, and unfortunately, Canada has a few of those around at the moment.

    And, yes, they can be alive today. Our MPs unknowingly applauded a Nazi collaborator in Parliament a couple of years back.
