| Why is Stephen Harper providing pay benefits to Red Army veterans? | TOP |
| e-POSHTA September 19 вересня 2009 Vol.10 No. 20 Ottawa - Members of Parliament were aghast to learn that Canadian taxpayers are paying for Russian Red Army veterans pensions. Legislation introduced by the Harper Conservatives on June 1st 2009 ostensibly to provide veteran benefits for Canadian Polish war veterans who fought so valiantly with the Allies during World War II in places such as Montecasino was written in a manner that will also provide payments to Red Army veterans
In 2008 the Ukrainian Government officially declared members of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) World War II veterans. This army valiantly fought both the Nazi and Red Armies knowing they faced insurmountable odds. They were in fact allied with the West with the U.S. Air Force providing planes to drop their soldiers behind Red Army lines. They fought for the same freedoms in Eastern Europe that Canadians had fought for in Western Europe. They continued their battles against the Red Army until 1952 notwithstanding the West’s appeasement of “Uncle Joe” Stalin at Yalta in 1945. By the time “Uncle Joe” was done, the instruments of his oppression, the Red Army and the NKVD had the blood of 45 million innocents on their hands. Today Canadian veterans of the UPA who fought both the evil Nazi and Soviet regimes in Europe’s bloodiest battles do not receive veteran’s benefits, yet this legislation introduced by the misguided Harper Conservatives is providing veterans pay to Red Army veterans. “I call upon Ministers Thompson and Kenney to rescind this legislation which desecrates the memory of those millions who died at the hands of the Soviet Red Army and instead introduce legislation that would honour our valiant allies and not a Red Army which enslaved whole nations and has the blood of innocent millions as part of its inglorious history,” stated Wrzesnewskyj.
