Trudeau calls incident during Zelenskyy visit ‘deeply embarrassing’ for Canada.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to apologize for allowing the man to attend and to “take responsibility” for this “massive diplomatic embarrassment and shame.” | Katherine KY Cheng/Getty ImagesOTTAWA, Ont. — Demands for a resignation over a stunning scandal. Embarrassment for Canada and Ukraine. A public relations win for Russia.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called on Trudeau to apologize for allowing the man to attend and to “take responsibility” for this “massive diplomatic embarrassment and shame.” House Speaker Anthony Rota, who the Liberals blamed for causing the bizarre incident that quickly caught the world’s attention, refused to heed calls to step down Monday and remained in his post overseeing proceedings that were mostly about a scandal that has him at the center.
“What kind of message does that send to Canada’s partners and allies around the world?” he said in the House of Commons Monday. “There was a Nazi in the Chamber.”
