US EditionCanadian parliament's standing ovation for former Nazi soldier was 'deeply embarrassing', Trudeau says
- Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has expressed deep embarrassment over members of parliament giving two standing ovations to a man with Nazi ties during World War II. The man, recognized as a "Ukrainian hero" by the speaker of the house, received backlash from Holocaust survivors, veterans, and Poland's Ambassador to Canada. Trudeau believes that an apology is owed to those affected and an explanation is necessary for how the individual was allowed into parliament. The decision to honor someone with ties to Nazi Germany may have wider implications beyond Canada's borders.
- The Canadian Speaker of the House, Anthony Rota, has faced calls to resign after inviting the war veteran with Nazi ties and recognizing him as a "Ukrainian hero". Rota has apologized for his actions but has resisted resignation. His invitation and recognition of the individual in parliament have caused anger and disappointment among Holocaust survivors, veterans, and Poland's Ambassador to Canada.
- Poland's Ambassador to Canada has expressed anger and called for an apology from the Canadian parliament for "whitewashing such villains". He joins others in voicing their outrage over the recognition and standing ovations given to a man with Nazi ties in Canadian parliament. The controversy has raised concerns about how this decision may be perceived beyond the borders of Canada.
