Canada's main opposition party has demanded the resignation of the prime minister.

Conservative leader Pierre Polivray says that it has come to light that a personal invitation was sent by Trudeau to the ex-soldier of Hitler's army during the Ukrainian president's visit to Canada.

Polivray said Trudeau misled the House of Commons in September of last year that he had no knowledge of former Nazi soldier Yaroslav Hanka, while Hanka was personally invited by Trudeau to a reception held for Zelensky in Toronto.

The Conservative leader said that Trudeau had supported the resignation of former Speaker Anthony Rota in the same case, now Trudeau himself must admit that he is not fit for office.

Conservative Deputy Leader Melissa Lantzman also attacked Trudeau, saying Trudeau had been hiding the truth for months, while naming the prime minister on the invitation and blaming the speaker.

It is to be noted that the former Speaker Rota described the 98-year-old Yaroslav Hanka, who fought for the Nazis during the Second World War, as a war hero, for which the House members stood up and honored him twice.

When the controversy arose, the Speaker apologized and resigned. Let us tell that the Nazi army massacred the Jews.

B.C. Ferries cancellations draw criticism from Opposition transportation critic

Ongoing sailing cancellations at B.C. Ferries are facing renewed criticism from the Opposition, with Conservative transportation critic Harman Bhangu calling for a leadership overhaul at the Crown corporation. In a statement, Bhangu, MLA for Langley–Abbotsford, said repeated weekend and Monday cancellations have left passengers dealing with continued disruptions. He attributed the service issues to vessels being out of service, operational challenges and what he described as a growing list of cancelled sailings. According to Bhangu, the situation reflects a broader failure within the ferry s

Trump says Tuesday deadline for Iran deal is final, warns of military action

U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that a Tuesday deadline for Iran to agree to a deal remains firm, warning that U.S. forces could launch broad attacks on Iranian infrastructure if no agreement is reached. Speaking to reporters during an Easter event at the White House, Trump described Iran’s latest proposal as “a significant step” but said it does not meet U.S. expectations. “It’s not good enough,” he said, adding that the conflict could end quickly if Iran complies with specific conditions. According to Trump, negotiations have been conducted indirectly through Pakistan, wi
