This isn't good. Freeland should know better. And silence of mainstream Canadian press is also not good. https://twitter.com/le_shipster/status/1498327432767721474 …

Your attempt to mainstream the whole "Freeland is a nazi" meme is garbage.

She shouldn't carry the OUN flag. She knows the history.

Tankie territory? Seriously? The head of the Ukrainian Jewish Committee wrote a *lengthy* OpEd in 2017 about recent right-wing attempts to rehabilitate the OUN/UPA & turn Bandera and the UPA flag into ostensibly neutral symbols of nationalism.https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/11/opinion/what-ukraines-jews-fear.html …

Replying to @purplechrain @SlavitchMichael and
One can oppose Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, support Ukrainian sovereignty, reject propaganda that smears all Ukrainians as Nazis & still acknowledge that flags / symbols associated with the OUN-B & the UPA shouldn’t be normalized or mainstreamed or waved by Canadian politicians.

That's right. She didn't wave it. It was slapped next to her.

If it was slapped next to her and she was holding it unintentionally and someone from her social media team who didn’t appreciate the symbolism erroneously posted a picture of her holding it on her official Twitter account for 18 hours, she can apologize & we can all move on.pic.twitter.com/hOMeWvbWAO

Calling this a "tankie thing" is a huge insult to all those (Jews and also the vast majority of Ukrainians) who reject what OUN stands for. It's like saying people who object to the Confederate flag are commies. She should know better.
