“Man this is going to give tankies so much free ammo.”
“Yeah it’s crazy all this free ammo we keep getting, anyway, keep firing the machine gun!!!”
A 2023 report for the Department of Canadian Heritage recommended that 330 of the 553 names listed on the monument’s Wall of Remembrance be removed due to potential links to Nazis or fascist groups
Heck of a vetting process they had there.
Addendum: The unintentional metaphor has more layers than a mille crepe cake:
A December 2024 internal report by the National Capital Commission estimated that the lifetime cost of maintenance had increased to at least $1 million from the original $240,000. The report also indicated that cracks had already appeared that had been repaired at an approximate cost of $17,000.
That’s on top of the original price tag:
The price tag for the project has ballooned to an estimated $7.5 million — including $6 million in public funds — from an original budget of $1.5 million that was supposed to be funded entirely through private donations from Tribute to Liberty.
Lifetime $8.5 million cost for a slab of granite and some metal rods. Some contractor’s palms had to have been greased here.
that was supposed to be funded entirely through private donations from Tribute to Liberty
Okay so who are the elected officials who approved public money for this so they can be stoned to death
Smash them with the memorial

The Cope:
Well now it's more accurate because it's about the nameless millions who died because of Communism!Big bad Stalin came into Eastern Europe and ate everyone’s records
He wanted to eat their grains, but would settle for names
This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain And a zero percent reason to remember the name
[REDACTED]
There’s just some freaky link between anticommunism and mouth-frothing racist genocide we can’t work out. Excepting liberal anticommunism I mean
Protesting the monument, but it’s because I want them to rebrand it as a communism victory memorial

Genocide of the gaps
Just one more name bro, if we can just recover one more name we’ll find a non-Nazi victim I swear
How dare they make Susie look dumb like that
Tankies vindicated like always
“The Estonian summer camp does not now and has never honoured Nazi collaborators and our children have never been indoctrinated into worshipping Nazi leaders as alleged.”
She added that the campers also commemorate Black Ribbon Day, which is formally recognized by the European Union and Canada as a day of remembrance for victims of Stalinism and Nazism.
“sure we had a monument to Nazi officers that we had children honour and lay wreaths upon but we would never indoctrinate our children into worshipping Nazi leaders! Now excuse me, I have to head back to the Franz Augsberger Memorial Summer Camp”
Timothy Snyder got his own holiday that sure is nice
lmao.
Oh it’s available in one other language, I wonder what language it is…
I love having the fast, on-device firefox translation to get different points of view. Open the ukranian version and read it in english.
Much the same but some slight differences of opinion.
Both articles do cite More Ukrainian monuments desecrated in Edmonton - New Pathway Ukrainian News | Новий Шлях Українські Вісті which is wild denialism.
