TL;DR Summary

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has apologized on behalf of Parliament for mistakenly praising a man who fought in a Nazi division during WWII. Trudeau expressed deep regret for the incident, acknowledging the pain it caused to Jewish people, Polish people, Roma people, LGBTQI+ people, disabled people, racialized people, and the millions targeted by the Nazi genocide. The delayed resignation of the House of Commons speaker, Anthony Rota, who invited the man and publicly praised him, has added to the controversy. Trudeau's Liberals blame Rota, while the opposition Conservatives blame Trudeau, with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre stating that it has severely damaged Canada's diplomatic reputation.
