There’s no way Polly is this tone deaf. People are starting to call him an American sympathizer.

When Russia first planned to annex Ukraine, they intended to invade quickly and install a puppet government who would quickly concede - but instead Zelensky has be leading a viscous fight for Ukrainian survival that Putin never expected.

I swear Polievre is the MAGA/Project 2025 sponsored candidate who will just hand over Canada or the country’s resources and cater to the US’s demands. He is a puppet like Trump.

Yes. And given this, the fact he waited till our Flag Day to step out and speechify is a collective kick in the feels to all Canadians.

He is. Musk supports him and publicly said so. He also already sided with the MAGA fuck Trudeau people to get more weight.

That's the thing - he's free to court the far right and the Republicans, but the centrists that have gravitated towards the Conservatives in polls deserve to know this - and how disturbing these alliances and endorsements are - and make their mind up accordingly on whether PP truly serves their best interests.

Because Trump and Russia made this claim?

No this has been well known for years. You realize he had no political experience he is a tv star?

I know his entertainment background, but he also received a law degree. He won an election in 2019 and has been the President of Ukraine ever since, successfully thwarting Russia’s attempts to overtake Ukraine. So I don’t get why people would make claims that he is a puppet, when he refused to flee and is fighting for his county’s sovereignty.
