NDP House Leader Peter Julian is demanding the resignation of House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota.

The matter started when a man who fought for the Nazis was invited to attend a speech by the President of Ukraine.

While apologizing for this in the House of Commons, Speaker Rota said that he alone was responsible for inviting this person to Parliament and the federal government had no role in it.

Yaroslav Hunka was invited by Speaker Anthony Rota to come to the Parliament and he was also introduced in the House of Commons by the Speaker himself.

The MPs gave a standing ovation on this.

Leader of the Government in the House of Commons Karina Gould says that the whole incident is embarrassing to them and should be expunged from the records till this mention.

Rain and Snow Alerts in Effect as Coastal and Northern B.C. Brace for Strong Weather System

Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued a pair of weather alerts for communities along British Columbia’s north and central coast, warning that a strong frontal system could bring significant rain and heavy mountain snow through the end of the week. The agency says areas from Bella Coola through Kitimat may receive as much as 70 millimetres of rain, raising the risk of water pooling on roads and possible washouts near rivers and creeks. The system is expected to weaken by Friday, but officials caution that changing conditions may still affect travel across coastal corridors. While t

Senate approves citizenship reform for ‘Lost Canadians’ as advocates raise adoption concerns

Federal legislation designed to address long-standing gaps in Canada’s citizenship rules has cleared the Senate and is expected to become law before a court-imposed deadline early next year.

The changes come after the Ontario Superior Court ruled last year that the previous one-generation limit on citizenship by descent was unconstitutional. Under the upda
