The guy actually lived in Canada and was formerly a member of the Waffen SS, which Ukranians joined in WW2 in the hope that Hitler would grant independence to Ukraine after the war. Apparently, Canada offered refuge to a few Ukranian SS soldiers after the war. It is a huge mistake to applaud this man because the Canadian parliament wasn't aware of his history. One particular politician noticed him in the crowd and spontaneously requested an ovation for him. They've all now admitted it was completely wrong to do so. But it is going to draw a lot of criticism.

@SW-User that's shocking. I know the Nazis called the warehouses at Auschwitz where the stolen belongings were piled "Kanada", because in the 1940s Canada was regarded as the land of plenty. The Nazis named them that as a black joke because they were effectively warehouses for plunder that was stolen from Jewish victims.
