Poilievre demands Trudeau ‘stand up and apologize’ for Nazi WW2 veteran ‘diplomatic embarrassment’

After House of Commons speaker Anthony Rota resigned on Tuesday amid international controversy over a mistaken invitation of a Ukrainian war veteran to Parliament who fought in a Nazi unit in the Second World War, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre demanded that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “stand up and apologize” for the incident. “The Liberal Speaker has taken the fall for this massive international shame and embarrassment. But the Prime Minister’s protocol and intelligence units had the right to ask for the list of all those who would be present,” Poilievre said.
