"Canada's Historic Election of First Black House Speaker Signals Progress and Unity"

Greg Fergus has been elected as the new speaker of Canada's House of Commons, becoming the first Black Canadian to hold the position. The election followed the resignation of Anthony Rota, who stepped down after inviting and honoring a man who fought for a Nazi military unit during World War II. Fergus, a Quebec Liberal lawmaker, promised to lead with respect and encouraged his fellow lawmakers to do the same.
