Kamala Harris Explains World War II To Canadian Parliament
World War Two was… a war, right? (Cackle.) On one side was England, the United States and Russia. Only then Russia was called the “Soviet Union.” On the other side was Germany and Japan. Oh, and Italy (cackle). Love Italian food. Love it. (Cackle.) Anyway, some countries like Ukraine were caught in the middle. Some Ukrainians sided with Russia and some Ukrainians sided with Germany. The Russians were communists and the Germans were fascists (cackle). So it was sort of like choosing between fat or carbs, amirite? (Cackle.)
So anyway, we, in partnership with Canada, took the side of fat. I mean carbs! No wait… I’m getting my analogy all mixed up here! (Cackle).
Anyway, after the war, lots of people were displaced. All mixed up like a salad, okay? Some Germans moved to Argentina. That’s in South America. And some Ukrainians moved to Canada. Canada is your country that I’m talking to now that has healthcare. So continuing with this theme, some of the people who moved to Argentina did very bad things during the war: that’s why they were in Argentina. Kind of laying low. (Cackle.) And some of the people who moved to Canada did bad things during the war, too. Some of the people who moved to Canada had helped the people who had moved to Argentina.
