Bloomberg Quicktake published this video item, entitled “Canada Parliament Speaker Resigns After Honoring Ukrainian Nazi Vet” – below is their description.
The speaker of Canada’s House of Commons resigned on Tuesday over inviting a Nazi-linked war veteran to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s speech last week, a fiasco that badly embarrassed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government.
Anthony Rota, a Liberal lawmaker who was first elected speaker in 2019, initially declined to step down over the controversy, but eventually bowed to pressure from members of parliament, including from his own Liberal Party.
“I reiterate my profound regret for my error in recognizing an individual in the House during the joint address to parliament of President Zelenskiy,” Rota said in the House of Commons.
