After having diplomatic issues with India, Canada is facing another embarrassing situation. Volodymyr Zelenskyy is in Canada where he was invited to the parliament to address it. But the event turned out to be an international embarrassment for Canada as among the invitees, was present a 98 year old Yarolslav Hunka, a war veteran but more importantly a Nazi war criminal. The speaker of parliament honored Hunka as a war hero who fought for Ukrainian independence.
The speaker of the Canadian parliament, Anthony Rota had personally invited Hunka on the occasion of Zelenskyy’s address. The members of parliament, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Volodymyr Zelenskyy all stood up and gave an ovation to him after he was honored by Anthony Rota.
The speaker has issued a public apology following the incident. He declared that no one in the parliament had any idea about his intentions until he delivered his speech. The plan to invite him was solely his own.
He further extended his condolences to the Jewish community in Canada and all around the world for the incident. It is interesting to note that the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy himself comes from Jewish community. The opposition has demanded an apology from Trudeau himself and blames him responsible for the incident.
