Ex-Speaker Rota insults CTV reporter after question about Hunka invitation

NORTH BAY, Ont. — Nipissing-Timiskaming MP Anthony Rota went on the defensive in Cobalt, Ont., on Feb. 9 when he insulted CTV video journalist Eric Taschner during a news conference after he was asked about former Nazi soldier Yaroslav Hunka.

Hunka, a North Bay, Ont., resident, received a standing ovation last fall in the House of Commons during a visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Ottawa.
Rota was quoted as saying, “We have in the chamber today a Ukrainian-Canadian veteran from the Second World War who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians and continues to support the troops today at the age of 98.”


Jewish groups then brought up that Hunka served in the Second World War with the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Galician), a unit in Eastern Europe under Nazi command.

The recognition of Hunka caused an international firestorm of negative publicity, demands for Rota to resign as Speaker and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to take responsibility.

Rota apologized and took sole blame for the epic blunder. A few days later Rota stepped down as Speaker, but remains the MP for the Nipissing-Timiskaming riding in northern Ontario.


Taschner, a CTV journalist, attended a Feb. 9 event unveiling and asked Rota for clarification on a report earlier this month that Trudeau invited Hunka to a reception in Toronto for Zelenskyy on the same day he addressed Parliament.
He replied, “I think I’ve already answered that. No, I know I already answered that. I don’t know how many times you have to keep asking me that question. I guess I can ask you when they split up East Germany, east and west, there was a tyrant named Taschner – were you related? Or how were you related?”

Rota’s office didn’t respond to a request for a comment.

Bell Media also didn’t respond to a request.

Since i only half follow this war, can anyone explain why so many on the right of the political spectrum are opposed to sending money to Ukraine? Do we have to wait until poo tin conquers Ukraine and invades another Eastern Europe country to catch on to what is going to happen?
Big budgets are made to spend for Ukraine only to have 30-40% of the funds spent directly to Ukraine, Republicans supported lend lease of $50 Billion with a 50 year pay back that Biden rejected. the $60+ Billion that Biden wants now has only $5 Billion earmarked for Ukraine the Biden regime is playing bait and switch with media

“There’s been talk of sending NATO military forces to Ukraine,” Putin said Thursday in his annual address to the Federal Assembly of lawmakers and top officials. “We remember the fate of those who sent their contingents to our country before and this time the consequences for the potential interventionists will be far more tragic.”

The US and Europe “must understand that we also have weapons that can hit targets on their territory and that all this really threatens a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons, and therefore the destruction of civilization,” Putin said. He listed new Russian strategic weapons that are entering military service including Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads.

Clearly, electing Trump is the only way to avert a nuclear holocaust.
Clearly Ukraine, Europe and the Commonwealth are making a move to take over Russia and its oil, where they will have fair digital elections to make the Kremlin full of rainbow pidors while Israel, Saudis, US and Commonwealth hit Iran with the Wahebrew Alliance running shit.

But why?

No oil for BRICS.

China and India.

Chinese and Indian people kept down by an alleged colonized red man. You go girl! The colonized are now colonists. Boy howdy. Son of of a gun. You're a themons'.

Its nice weather under the White Privelege umbrella usnt it?

If you want your pension, shut your fucking hole or in the name of Pope Francis and the Holy fucking See, blame Islam.

Know your place motherfucker!

Well if Putin could easily take controll of Eastern European countries he would have finished this dog and pony show two and a half years ago . Does this war give you fear that Russia is in a military position to expand ?
I'm not entirely sure. I know people in other eastern European countries are worried. Poo tin has claimed he intends to take back all territory lost after the fall of the Iron Curtain. Presumably that would include Eastern Germany. I'm' not sure just how crazy he is. Iran and NK both have leaders crazy enough to use nukes and both support Pooh tin.

Neither NK or Iran have dared use their nukes , for good reason , Puntin and Russia are in the same boat . What else does Russia have to take back lost territory, if you think Russia is even considering this .

pooh tin declared that is his objective. People in Europe seem to be more worried about it than we are.
