Following Zelenskyy’s remarks, Rota drew the room’s attention to a man in the viewing gallery that he described as “a Ukrainian Canadian war veteran… who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians” and “a Canadian hero, and we thank him for all his service,” prompting a standing ovation.
So far, the Conservatives have centred their condemnation of there being “a Nazi in the chamber” and the impact this international incident has had on Canada’s reputation, on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
