Canada's opposition leader Pierre Poilievre criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for meeting and honoring a veteran of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, a Nazi division, during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit. Poilievre termed it an "appalling error in judgment" on Trudeau's part, whose office arranges state visits. He said parliamentarians other than Trudeau were unaware of the veteran's background before he was introduced in the House of Commons. Demanding Trudeau personally apologize instead of passing blame, Poilievre stated the veteran's dark past made it impossible for parliamentarians to know of it without warning. His statement comes in response to the Canadian human rights group Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center exposing Trudeau's actions on social media.
