"Trudeau and House Speaker under fire for honoring Nazi, calls for resignation grow"

Canada's House speaker, Anthony Rota, is facing calls to resign after honoring a Nazi fighter during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit to Parliament. The 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka, who fought for a Nazi military unit during World War II, received a standing ovation from Canadian lawmakers. Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre blamed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government for the "massive diplomatic embarrassment and shame." Rota issued an apology but has not resigned. The incident has sparked outrage and demands for accountability, with critics calling for Rota's resignation and accusing Trudeau of failing to properly vet Hunka.
