In tonight’s top story: Canadian House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota has apologized for honouring Yaroslav Hunka — a war veteran who fought for a Nazi unit in the Second World War — during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's Sept. 22 visit to Parliament. David Akin looks at the calls for Rota to resign and the questions over how Hunka's past wasn't flagged beforehand.

Also, demonstrators rallied outside Indian consulates across Canada Monday, one week after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed agents of India's government were involved in the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian Sikh leader. Touria Izri looks at the action protesters are pushing the federal government to take against India.

Additionally, the number of migrants irregularly crossing into Quebec from New York at Roxham Road has dropped since the renegotiation of the Safe Third Country agreement, so the RCMP has demolished its last building there. But as Mike Armstrong explains, this doesn't mean fewer asylum seekers are trying to enter Canada.

Over in the U.S., the Writers Guild of America has reached a tentative deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, ending nearly five months of historic strike action. Brittany Rosen explains which shows will resume production and why others can't return just yet.

And, thrill-seekers got an unexpected scare at Canada's Wonderland when a ride at the amusement park became stuck, trapping dozens of people upside down for almost a half-hour. Mike Drolet hears from one witness about the chaos and the panicked passengers.

Plus, LEGO, the world's largest toymaker, has abandoned plans to make its famous bricks from recycled plastic bottles. Redmond Shannon looks at LEGO's reasoning and why the building blocks are still one of the more sustainable uses of plastic.
