Canada's House Speaker Resigns Amid Controversy Over Nazi Invite

Canada's House of Commons speaker, Anthony Rota, has resigned after inviting a 98-year-old man who fought for a Nazi military unit to attend a speech by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The man, Yaroslav Hunka, was publicly introduced and received a standing ovation during the event. Rota expressed his regret and accepted full responsibility for the error, acknowledging the pain caused to individuals and communities, including the Jewish community and Nazi survivors. Lawmakers had lost confidence in Rota over the mishap, and the speaker's office clarified that Hunka's invitation was solely Rota's responsibility. The incident has brought shame and embarrassment to Parliament and all Canadians, with calls for Rota's resignation.
