Trudeau blames 'Russian disinformation' for Nazi veteran attending Canadian Parliament

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has blamed "Russian disinformation" for the attendance of a Nazi veteran at Canada's Parliament.

Trudeau's statement on Monday marked the first time he spoke since the Canadian Parliament gave a standing ovation to the Nazi veteran. The prime minister described the situation as "extremely upsetting" and "particularly" upsetting for Canada's Jewish community.

"I think it's going to be really important that all of us push back against Russian propaganda, Russian disinformation and continue our steadfast and unequivocal support for Ukraine, as we did last week, with announcing further measures to stand with Ukraine in Russia's illegal war against it," Trudeau said.
