Trudeau urged to ’resign’ after House Speaker ’took the fall’ over Nazi scandal

Calls have grown online for Justin Trudeau to resign as social media users argue House Speaker Anthony Rota “took the fall“ to “save“ the Canadian Prime Minister after a Ukrainian Nazi was given a standing ovation in parliament. Former speaker Anthony Rota’s resigned on Tuesday less than a week after he praised a Ukrainian man who served in a Nazi unit during World War Two. Mr Rota had previously praised 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka as a “Ukrainian hero“ while recognising a number of Ukrainian-Canadians during a parliamentary meeting on Friday. The group was given a standing ovation in parliament during a visit from Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky. Mr Rota apologised for the incident after a Jewish human rights group found the 98-year-old served as a member of the Waffen-SS “Galicia” Division or the SS 14th Waffen Division.
