It goes without saying that both the U.S. and Canada are rabidly pro-Israel, thus anti-anti-Semitism, so you'd think that ideological stance would logically extend to anti-Nazism. Well, think again. The resolution they voted against can be read in its entirety here (pdf here). The resolution was uncontroversially titled "Combating glorification of Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance" and included such language as follows, which seemingly any decent human would agree with:
Alarmed, in this regard, at the spread in many parts of the world of various extremist political parties, movements and groups, including neo-Nazis and skinhead groups, as well as similar extremist ideological movements,While the U.S., Canada and Ukraine actively voted against the resolution, several countries abstained from the vote: a passive and spineless accession to the West's ideological stance. See Sputnik's infographic below to see the West's shame in all its fascist glory (full-size version can be viewed here):
Deeply concerned by all recent manifestations of violence and terrorism incited by violent nationalism, racism, xenophobia and related intolerance, ...
Expresses deep concern about the glorification, in any form, of the Nazi movement, neo-Nazism and former members of the Waffen SS organization, including by erecting monuments and memorials and holding public demonstrations in the name of the glorification of the Nazi past, the Nazi movement and neo-Nazism, as well as by declaring or attempting to declare such members and those who fought against the anti-Hitler coalition and collaborated with the Nazi movement participants in national liberation movements;
As it turns out, this isn't the first time Canada and the U.S. have voted against similar resolutions (official voting record available here). But given what's going on in the word today, this decision acquires a whole new meaning. The West (and that includes all those European countries who abstained from the vote - many of which have their own laws criminalizing exactly things this resolution proposed: anti-Holocaust denial laws) has been open and extremely vocal about their absolute support for the vassal-state, coup-imposed junta in Ukraine, a regime that fights its war against the people of Novorussia with openly neo-Nazi battalions, and even decorates its leaders with medals and commendations. Don't believe me? Read Your friendly neighborhood Nazis in Ukraine:
Instead of prison sentences, Ukraine's swastika enthusiasts receive guns and laurels from their civilized government. In August, Poroshenko awarded the leader of the pro-choice knitting club Azov Battalion, Andriy Biletsky, with the Order For Courage.Here's Biletsky, a freshly minted member of Ukraine's parliament, in his own words:
Biletsky is not only a courageous Wolfsangel-bedazzled freedom fighter, he is also the head of Ukraine's creatively named Social-National Assembly, which is committed to "punishing severely sexual perversions and any interracial contacts that lead to the extinction of the white man."
Close your eyes and try to imagine the font size 72 Caps Lock Washington Post front page screamfest if it was discovered that Vladimir Putin had decorated a brain-dead maniac who has promised "to prepare [Russia] for further expansion and to struggle for the liberation of the entire White Race."
- "... our National body should start with a Racial cleaning of the Nation ... the healthy racial body will revive ... culture, language and everything else."
- "We must pay attention to the question of the value of Race. Ukrainians are a part (and one of the largest and the most high quality) of European White Race."
- "The historical mission ... is to head and lead the White Peoples of the whole world in the last crusade for their existence. Crusade against Semite-led subhumanity."
- "... if we are strong, we will take all that is rightfully ours, and even a little more, we will build our superpower-Empire - Great Ukraine"
- "Not 'democratic vote' ... but natural selection of the best representatives of the Nation - born chiefs-leaders."
So what gives? As Mercouris said in today's CrossTalk: "from some people in Washington ... there is absolutely nothing it seems that trumps anti-Russianism." Not even anti-Nazism will get in the way of voting against something Russia proposed! What are these people, 8-year-olds?! But whether the decision comes from some closet Nazi tendencies (likely, they're psychopaths at heart!) or it's all 'just politics', either way, it's utterly shameful, and as Babich said in the show: it's "one of the most shameful moments for Canada."

Germany and Japan abstained! Did they not learn the lesson from the horrors that Nazism/fascism brought with it?
Harrison, you need to be out of Canada. You know where you feel at home. Go to where you feel at home.
Sometimes this show is "off the hook" as far as a mainstream news show can be. Around the same time (Wednesday) I saw another show - an RT documentary - where a black German woman was "looking for Aryans." A weird show that was, with neo-nazis ("go back to Africa! shouted one) at a rally, & a KKK member who didn't seem to understand what the thing meant. He wasn't racist, he was ponerized in a weird way. Then there was a guy talking about Nazi UFO's & Aryans being from Rigel VII or something. Then the woman went to Iran to meet Aryans & quiz the Iranians. Missed a part of the show but I hope idiots like CNN don't get a hold of that to use against RT!
