He's taking the blame to protect Trudeau and the others who are responsible.
There is no one innocent though. He said straight up that the guy fought against the Russians in World War 2, and the guy got two standing ovations after that. It's "is this stupidity, or is this treason" territory. Either they are so ignorant that they did not know the Nazis were fighting the Russians in World War 2, or they were knowingly cheering a Nazi soldier.
I don't know how things are in Canada, but in the US, Russia's role is greatly downplayed, except for Molotov–Ribbentrop. I guess it gets really awkward admitting the US aligned with literal Communists, especially for American conservatives.
