Trudeau seen as ‘clown’ after Canada House Speaker resigns for Nazi unit veteran tribute: Poilievre

Speaking in Ottawa on Thursday, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for a delayed apology, after House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota resigned for a parliamentary tribute to a Ukrainian man who was revealed to have fought with a Nazi unit in the Second World War. “The Prime Minister is seen as a clown on the world stage,” Poilievre said. “It took him five days — five days — while he hid under a rock and let our reputation be torn to tatters.”
