Speaking of, north of the border:

The 2023 election for Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada took place on October 3, 2023, to elect the 38th Speaker of the House of Commons, following the resignation of Speaker Anthony Rota. This was held during the 44th Canadian Parliament.

The new speaker is the first black person to hold the post (and was elected on a single ballot).
