Controversy Erupts Over Tribute to Nazi-Linked Veteran in Canada's House of Commons

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau criticized the singling out of a Ukrainian veteran, Yaroslav Hunka, alleged to have fought for the Nazis during World War II, for a standing ovation during President Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to Canada. The speaker of Canada's parliament, Anthony Rota, apologized for the gaffe and expressed regret for recognizing Hunka, who served in the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS. Trudeau called the incident "deeply embarrassing" and unacceptable, while a Jewish advocacy group described it as "shocking" and "incredibly disturbing."
