Canada’s House speaker resigns over inviting a man who fought for a Nazi unit

After first resisting calls to step down, Anthony Rota quit yesterday after meeting party leaders in Ottawa.

The incident last Friday incited global condemnation.

Ninety eight-years-old Yaroslav Hunka, got a standing ovation after House of Commons Speaker Rota called him a hero during a Friday visit by Ukraine’s president.

Rota has said he did not know of Hunka’s Nazi ties and made a mistake in inviting him to attend the event.
