Trudeau calls praise for Nazi-linked veteran 'deeply embarrassing'
An invitation to parliament for a Ukrainian man who fought for a Nazi unit in World War Two is "deeply embarrassing" to Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says.

Yaroslav Hunka, 98, got a standing ovation after House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota called him a "hero" during a Friday visit by Ukraine's president.

Mr Rota has said he did not know of Mr Hunka's Nazi ties and made a mistake in inviting him to attend the event.

He faces calls to resign.

On Monday, Mr Trudeau told reporters it was "extremely upsetting that this happened".

"This is something that is deeply embarrassing to the parliament of Canada and by extension to all Canadians."

The incident took place on Friday, when the parliament was hosting an address by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Mr Hunka was sitting in the gallery of the House of Commons when Mr Rota pointed to him, saying the man was "a Ukrainian hero, a Canadian hero, and we thank him for all his service".

Those present in the building responded with applause.

In a statement on Sunday, Mr Rota said he had "subsequently become aware of more information which causes me to regret my decision" to honour Mr Hunka.

"No-one, including fellow parliamentarians and the Ukraine delegation, was aware of my intention or of my remarks before I delivered them," he said.

Yet Zelensky is seen with, associating, and now obviously considered a Nazi..
Though the blind lefties are to filled with hate and love of media to get one main reason Putin invaded was to defeat the Nazi..

"The modern-day Nazis continue to support Ukraine. Zelensky has already received $6.7 billion from Canada and is ready to pocket more. So, you decide if the West is still the “good guy” in this growing conflict."

Zelensky and Trudeau Give Nazi Standing Ovation

Trudeau has not personally apologized. Poilievre took to X to explain that Trudeau played a direct role in this embarrassing situation: “No parliamentarians (other than Justin Trudeau) had the opportunity to vet this individual’s past before he was introduced and honored on the floor of the House of Commons.

Hunka retired to Canada after the war and was never punished for his crimes.Trudeau thought it would be a good idea for him to visit Ottawa and speak on Ukraine and Canada’s cooperation during wartime. Trudeau is making House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota take the heat for inviting Hunka.
