Actor Rob Schneider implored Canadians to fire their “authoritarian” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for honoring a Nazi in Parliament last week.
“Canada, you were always the coolest country. You were the country that rose above the strife when your neighbor couldn’t,” The Deuce Bigalow star posted to X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday.
The 59-year-old comedian replied to a meme of a caricature of Trudeau holding a “Canadian Terminology” book, which depicted a truck driver holding a freedom sign and a decrepit Nazi soldier with a cane.
“This is a Nazi,” the book classified the cartoon Canadian trucker protesting COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
Canada, you were always the coolest country. You were the country that rose above the strife when your neighbor couldn’t.
You were the safe haven for war dissenters and political activists. You were America Plus.
Canada will you please reclaim your rightful place in being the… https://t.co/KunMRX4zT6— Rob Schneider (@RobSchneider) September 27, 2023
“This is a freedom fighter,” Trudeau’s cartoon book called the withering Nazi wearing a swastika armband and skull and crossbones cap.
“You were the safe haven for war dissenters and political activists. You were America Plus,” he continued. “Canada will you please reclaim your rightful place in being the coolest country in the world?”
“Please Fire your authoritarian PM Justin Trudeau.” Canada, You can do it,” he concluded with his longtime catch phrase.
Canadian Parliament inexplicably recognized 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka as a “war hero” during last week’s special session.
Hunka is a Ukrainian World War II veteran who served in the First Ukrainian Division which was commanded by the Nazis.
I just canceled my trip to Canada.
I just can’t…
It’s beyond the pale.
Trudeau’s tyranny against peaceful trucker protesters seems insignificant to this despicable and outrageous act of honoring of one of ADOLF HITLER’S NAZI SS Soldiers by the Canadian Parliament.
No words… https://t.co/ZEVwZjOPse— Rob Schneider (@RobSchneider) September 25, 2023
The former Nazi soldier was applauded by lawmakers on Parliament Hill, including Trudeau and Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenzkyy, who was in Ottawa on his first visit to the country’s capital.
Schneider, who is Jewish, said that he cancelled his trip to Canada earlier in the week, in reaction to the news.
“I just can’t… It’s beyond the pale. Trudeau’s tyranny against peaceful trucker protesters seems insignificant to this despicable and outrageous act of honoring of one of ADOLF HITLER’S NAZI SS Soldiers by the Canadian Parliament,” he tweeted in reference to the Freedom Convoy protests of 2022.
The Longest Yard actor continued his rebuke of Parliament in a scathing follow-up post.
“Don’t you stupid f—ing Canadians know THIS A–H@LE fought for the NAZIS?! Not what we call Nazis today. Like, the REAL Nazis,” he wrote according to Fox News.
“This guy fought for Hitler! Not like what we call people Hitler today. THEE Hitler! Like in actual Adolf Hitler.”
Heads have already began rolling from the scandal, beginning with Speaker of Canada’s House of Commons, Anthony Rota, who resigned after admitting to being the one to invite Hunka to the special session.
“I reiterate my profound regret for my error in recognizing an individual in the House during the joint address to Parliament of President Zelenskyy,” Rota said in an address to Parliament.
“That public recognition has caused pain to individuals and communities, including to the Jewish community in Canada and around the world in addition to Nazi survivors in Poland among other nations. I accept full responsibility for my actions,” he concluded.
Will someone, preferably a Canadian, tell the Deputy Prime Minister, Chryssy Freeland that 4,000 Canadians, who ALL VOLUNTEERED TO FIGHT AGAINST THE NAZIS fought with uncommon valor to liberate Holland and gave their lives in some of the most intense fighting of WW2! https://t.co/NzvRaj9PBm

Schneider was thrilled with Rota’s resignation, but still wants Trudeau and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland out.
“Okay, Canada! Speaker of the House Resigns!! That’s a very good START! You are 1/3 of the way there,” he posted on Tuesday.”
“Now rid yourselves of PM, Justin the Terrible Trudeau and his Henchperson (She/Her) Deputy PM [Chrystia] Freeland!”
In a separate post, he knocked Freeland’s video of her “inspirational day” with Zelenskyy.
“Will someone, preferably a Canadian, tell the Deputy Prime Minister, Chryssy Freeland that 4,000 Canadians, who ALL VOLUNTEERED TO FIGHT AGAINST THE NAZIS fought with uncommon valor to liberate Holland and gave their lives in some of the most intense fighting of WW2!” Schneider seethed.
In a final tweet, he told Canadians that the “good news” was that Hunka “twice vaccinated and double boosted, so at lease some of his “views” were not completely unacceptable” to Trudeau.
