Tensions flared in the House of Commons on Monday over opposition calls for House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota to resign after apologizing to the House of Commons for inviting, recognizing and leading the chamber in a standing ovation for a man who fought for a Nazi unit during the Second World War.

Lol 'Ukrainian who fought the Russians in wwII' automatically makes him most likely a nazi, the political history is not complex at all here, they should have checked. I can't believe they didn't know.

Canada says 'they did nothing wrong' besides yannow being nazis.
"We don't have proof they committed any war crimes"

Oh well, as long as they only cheer for the good Nazis in Parliament...

They can't spin this not to look like a very stupid thing to do. And with Russia calling Ukraine a bunch of Nazis, while everyone calls Wagner a bunch of Nazis, and all the tensions around the rise of fascism around the world, it's really the worst time to make such a mistake.
