"Trudeau's Apology for Nazi Praise in Canadian Parliament Sparks Controversy"

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has formally apologized after the speaker of the House of Commons praised a Nazi veteran in the chamber while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy was present. The speaker, Anthony Rota, resigned and took sole responsibility for the incident. Trudeau apologized to Zelenskiy and the Ukrainian delegation, stating that recognizing the veteran was a mistake and a violation of the memory of those who suffered under the Nazi regime. Russia has used the incident to support its claim that Ukraine needs to be "denazified," a charge that Ukraine and its Western allies reject. The official opposition Conservatives hold Trudeau responsible for the incident, accusing him of negligence.
