Anthony Rota should step down for inviting SS member to Canadian Parliament
The Issue
"I am very proud to say that he is from North Bay and from my riding of Nipissing--Timiskaming," the Ontario MP said as an introduction.
"He is a Ukrainian hero, a Canadian hero, and we thank him for all his service."
Several Jewish advocacy organizations condemned members of Parliament on Sunday for giving a standing ovation to a man who fought for a Nazi unit during the Second World War.
During Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit to Ottawa on Friday, MPs honoured 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka in the House of Commons.
Hunka was invited by Speaker Anthony Rota, who introduced him as a war hero who fought for the First Ukrainian Division.
Anthony Rota is the 37th Speaker of the House of Commons. He has brought shame and embarrassment upon Canada as a whole due to his fundamental ignorance of history and his lack of forethought.
Please sign this petition asking him to step down.
