Canada’s parliament, Trudeau and Zelensky give inadvertent ovation to Nazi war veteran – Speaker apologizes to Jews worldwide for encouraging parliament to hail Yaroslav Hunka, 98, a volunteer fighter in a Waffen SS unit, as a ‘Ukrainian and Canadian hero’ | Timesofisrael

TORONTO (AP) — The speaker of Canada’s House of Commons apologized Sunday for recognizing a man who fought in a Nazi military unit during World War II.
Just after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky delivered an address in the House of Commons on Friday, Canadian lawmakers gave 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka a standing ovation when Speaker Anthony Rota drew attention to him. Rota introduced Hunka as a Canadian and Ukrainian war hero who fought for the First Ukrainian Division.
