Canada Parliament Speaker Resigns Over Nazi Veteran Controversy

The speaker of Canada's parliament, Anthony Rota, has resigned following a controversy over his praise of a Ukrainian veteran who fought for the Nazis during World War II. Rota faced pressure to step down after it was revealed that the veteran had served in a Nazi-linked military unit. Rota apologized for his error and the pain caused to Jewish communities. The incident has drawn criticism and accusations of giving a propaganda victory to Russia. Several political parties in Canada had called for Rota's resignation, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called his remarks shameful. The visit of Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky to Canada aimed at bolstering international support amidst the ongoing conflict with Russia.
