Calls have grown online for Justin Trudeau to resign as social media users argue House Speaker Anthony Rota “took the fall” to “save” the Canadian Prime Minister after a Ukrainian Nazi was given a standing ovation in parliament.

Former speaker Anthony Rota’s resigned on Tuesday less than a week after he praised a Ukrainian man who served in a Nazi unit during World War Two.
Mr Rota had previously praised 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka as a “Ukrainian hero” while recognising a number of Ukrainian-Canadians during a parliamentary meeting on Friday.
The group was given a standing ovation in parliament during a visit from Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Mr Rota apologised for the incident after a Jewish human rights group found the 98-year-old served as a member of the Waffen-SS “Galicia” Division or the SS 14th Waffen Division.
