Liberal MP Greg Fergus has been elected Speaker of the House of Commons, making history as the first Black Canadian to hold the role and taking over the position from Anthony Rota, who resigned from the role amid controversy.
Fergus, who represents the National Capital Region Quebec riding of Hull-Aylmer, was one of seven candidates vying for the job Tuesday.
Rota, who resigned last week after he asked MPs to honour a man who it was later revealed fought for the Nazis.
“Today, you are the first Black Canadian to become Speaker of this House,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said after the election. This should be inspiring for all Canadians.”

Only in Canada would a MP found guilty of an ethics violation would be chosen to lead the house. He is also a very partisan politician and it will be interesting to see how he manages the debate in Question Period. Congratulations on being the first black Speaker. Now that this threshold has been broken all of Canadians can move past ethinic background as a relevant point for acknowledgement and judge induviduals on quality of character.

The first black speaker of the house in Canadian history who is married to a white woman! If you do not understand my point, look at Malcolm X's speeches about being proud to be black. Just like "PELE", the Brazilian soccer player, who married only white and blond women. I have a profound admiration and respect for Malcolm X, Steve Biko, and Marcus Garvey, who studied law at the University of London UK, the same University where I studied law! These were real blacks who represented the black community! They married a black woman!
