"Canada's House Speaker Resigns Amid Controversy Over Nazi Veteran"

Canada's Speaker of the House of Commons, Anthony Rota, has resigned after inviting a Ukrainian man with Nazi ties to parliament and praising him. Yaroslav Hunka, a 98-year-old who fought for a Nazi unit during World War Two, received a standing ovation during the visit.

The incident drew global condemnation, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called it "deeply embarrassing." Rota claimed he was unaware of Hunka's Nazi ties and admitted to making a mistake in inviting him.
