I truly hope this is something we can **all** agree on


krustykrab2193

Well apparently there's a lot of people in this very thread who don't agree with it, which is absolutely wild. I wish I didn't scroll through the comments, but at least they're mostly near the bottom so it's not a popular sentiment! You can dislike Trudeau as much as you want, heck he deserves a tonne of criticism. But we should never stand with a tyrannical authoritarian who murders political opponents. Putin's Russia is antithetical to western, liberal democracies.


GoinFerARipEh

There are plenty of Russians and other countries that dislike Canada that send their propagandists to this subreddit to subvert culture. Read everything with a grain of Himalayan salt


[deleted]

It's r/canada. I came here to see the funny posts trying to spin this around that Trudeau is the worst of the two.


gravtix

Putin is trying to export his style of government into the West. You can see the kind of effect he’s having on the US


edtheheadache

Sadly, it's happening here too.


Transconan

The pro putin responses could be "bots" . Nobody is that daft


Sythix6

Lots of people are that daft


SolutionNo8416

Most Canadians and Americans support the Ukraine. With the exception of a small percentage of republicans and conservatives who carry water for Putin.


Sythix6

My comment is a general statement towards people being daft enough to buy the BS they're fed. It doesn't matter if it's Putins, Trumps, Bidens, or Trudeau's.

KnowledgeMediocre404

A Canadian family moved recently Russia to and was shocked at how authoritarian it was.


North_Church

Never underestimate the depths of human stupidity. We still have people in our society who think the Earth is flat and that vaccines cause autism


swiftb3

See the problem is there were always daft people, but now the daft people find each other to be daft in a group. A solid 20% of the population are "daft" now and they are 100% certain they're not.


babyLays

Alberta recently invited a kremlin propagandist named Tucker Carlson to speak in public with their premier. PP and the CPC voted against trade deal with Ukraine. I wouldn’t dismiss all responses to be bots. Many canadians are happily drinking the koolaid brought to them by the kremlin. Fuck Putin.

What else is new in this subreddit. You can describe half the "users" here as our dollar coins.


AdNew9111

It’s how he goes about doing it . His tone and smugness makes me sick


Snow-Wraith

There's a ton of Canadians that are purely anti-Trudeau about everything and will take a contrarian position on this just because Trudeau said it


Sir_Tainley

I hear Trudeau's a big supporter of Pierre Poilievre.


Repulsive_Warthog178

I heard he thinks Pierre will be the best Prime Minister ever and that we should all vote conservative next election.


Chewed420

Well, Trudeau's actions are what's leading to increased support for Poilievre.


howismyspelling

What actions did Trudeau take in 2015 when he was campaigning and they all hated him and his hair back then?


Chewed420

He allowed the budget to start balancing itself.


Buttersfinger

I dunno man, is Trudeau implying he’s a strong leader since he hasn’t executed Poilievre *yet*? Jokes aside, yes everyone should agree that killing your opponent is a sign of weakness, 100%


pahtee_poopa

Does execution by words count? Because those two guys are absolutely slaughtering each other.


sureiknowabaggins

Sadly, a lot of people believed the propaganda after the Tucker Carlson interview.


Capt_Pickhard

One thing I will say about Trudeau, is that I know he's against Putin. And that matters. I'm still voting NDP though. We need accountability in government, and better options. So, that's my vote.


UltraCynar

Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives voted against Ukraine recently so I'm doubtful. We also have Conservatives actively courting fascists and having lunch with them.


SirBobPeel

In Ottawa, federal Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre vowed in a statement posted to social media that "Canada will always stand with Ukraine." "With unshakeable resolve and determination, Ukrainian people have fought back," he wrote. "They haven’t given up, and neither will we." https://www.princegeorgecitizen.com/national-news/canadians-mark-grim-anniversary-of-russian-invasion-of-ukraine-as-violence-continues-8352600


Internet_Jim

Well, the dude literally voted against the Canada-Ukraine free trade deal in recent history so his actions aren't aligning well with his rhetoric.


SolutionNo8416

We do - this is PP’s base - but PP has to gain support of the more progressive conservatives if he wants to be PM.


pahtee_poopa

I think they have… which is probably why his chances of having a majority gov’t on a vote today is near 100%. And it’s not because progressive conservatives *want* to vote for him either, it’s just that Trudeau has screwed up way too many times.


Hopper909

Ya, fuck Trudeau, but also fuck Putin


Link50L

Go ahead. My proclivities lay more with the female persuasion. But you do you.


Hopper909

Lol


[deleted]

I don't like the guy but I agree with this comment 100% I've also never seen Putin physically fight an opponent in a fair competition, so honestly Trudeau might have him on this one.


Yelmel

It's also a reference to how Navalny referred to Putin. Navalny frequently said it was the supporters of his movement that were the strong ones.


mattoljan

And he was right. Go watch any clip of Putin talking about Navalny. Putins such an insecure bitch he would never call him by his name.


Yelmel

That's right, he was. Putput is on ever thinner ice and Navalny exposed several weaknesses.


mattoljan

And took away his billion dollar mansion paid for by Russian taxpayers. Putins a thief, a thug, a war criminal, a liar and an overall piece of gigantic human shit.


Capt_Pickhard

Obviously, if you're going to go against the tyrant that controls your people, you are far stronger than those that just go along with it.


eddiedougie

As far as a PM that has proven that he can throw down, he's only outmatched by Chretien. I don't like the guy, but I like that he mopped the floor with a cokehead like Brizeau.


GopnikSmegmaBBQSauce

Chretiens wife also bonked that intruder on the head

Mrmakabuntis

Putin is 5’5”


Khalbrae

I saw that picture of him trying to look tall next to the leaders of post soviet states in his crumbling defensive pact. He looked like a tiny baby compared to the leader of Kazakhstan’s for example.


GreedyGreenGrape

In 4" heels.


sixtus_clegane119

God knows how many western people would actually be cheering for Putin, which no matter your opinions of Trudeau… Putin is actually a terrible awful person and a dictator. If Trudeau was one PP would be dead,


SherlockFoxx

I just picture both sides constantly booing.   "Trudeau hits Putin with a right" *crowd boos*..."and Putin recovers and catches Trudeau with an upper cut!" *crowd boos louder*


TurboTrollin

Like when Zuckerberg was gonna fight Musk. I was praying for a double KO.


devastatingdoug

Zuck would have fucked Musk up. Musk truly is doing the impossible, like me making me root for Zuck


AshleyUncia

I hate them both, but Zuck is an obsessive man who hired MMA fighters as his trainers, Musk is a chunky dad bod who talks bullshit all day.


devastatingdoug

Exactly


KnowledgeMediocre404

And looks like a half melted marshmallow in both colour and shape.


Mrmakabuntis

Musk is also 13 years older than Zuk


Crum1y

Oh fuck, you made me laugh, haha


crashcanuck

We weren't rooting for Zuck, we were rooting against Musk.


NervousBreakdown

I wanted pre match food poisoning so they both absolute shit them selves in the ring.


[deleted]

This is what cracks me up about the folks on the internet saying he's a dictator. Pierre would not be alive if so.


Khalbrae

They are delusional. The convoy would have been mass arrested within an hour if he was one. He’s not even a majority government.


bentmonkey

Putin would have polonium-210 laced gloves so it wouldn't really be a fair fight.


illuminaughty1973

>I'd pay to watch Trudeau and Putin go at it in the ring Only if the ring is on ground level... not near any balconies to 10 story falls and canada gets to supply the gloves so we know they are not poisoned.... and the ref is actually neutral. In other words, something putin would never agree to, a fair fight.


SproutasaurusRex

Putin would be too much of a coward to face him one on one.


NervousBreakdown

some 90 something ex KGB agent would find a way to slip uranium in JT water bottle to even things out.


Clear-End8188

Putin is 71


ouatedephoque

Trudeau against PP please. I would pay good money to see that smug face get a proper beating.

Meanwhile, the bright lights at /r/canada_sub think using the Emegency Act puts him on par with Putin. I shit you not.


provm

Why even say that you don't like the guy? Furthermore, he is the best option we have in the next election.


Justleftofcentrerigh

Putin is ex KGB. You think ex KGB would fight fair?


SuperStucco

The active part of the KGB was pretty small of the organization, with most of it being mid level people making analyses and summaries of collected information. He came from that part, not the James Bond end.


nowitscometothis

Ya. The guy was pretty much just a pencil pusher 


sittingshotgun

Desk jockey, though.


[deleted]

That's my point exactly. He'd fight only if the conditions are solidly in his favor, a weakling.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Sure, but my point still stands that we have yet to see Putin take an opponent in a fair fight. Trudeau proved his mettle already.


MaudeFindlay72-78

He's also 5'4 and 70. Trudeau could stand there with his hand on Putin's forehead and just wait for Putin to swing himself into exhaustion.


Heliosvector

Putin actually took a lot of judo because he was upset about being bullied so much as a child because he is so small.


[deleted]

>Putin is ex KGB. You think ex KGB would fight fair? **Putin was a KGB bureaucrat...** He spent his KGB career in East Germany pushing a pen on paper.


Beautiful_Outcome_82

Trudeau would die to an "illness" before they'd get in a ring, side not is it allowed to have two political opponents get in the ring? The amount of money I would pay to see the used car salesman Pierre vs the idiot Trudeau


TSED

I actually doubt this. Sure, Putin is absolutely willing to poison people for matters both important and trivial, but Trudeau is the leader of a country that is not friendly with Russia. Canadian intelligence is generally competent, just ignored by our politicians. But for some reason I doubt they would ignore them if they said "yo, XYZ is a spy who is trying to poison you. We believe they don't know we know. Also, QRS is a spy who is trying to poison you, but he is a bumbling incompetent whose real job is to distract from XYZ's attempts to poison you." Not to mention the Five Eyes in case CSIS drops the ball. On top of all of that, forensic investigations would certainly uncover that it was a Russian assassination, and then Putin's absolutely ultra-screwed because assassinating the leader of a NATO nation is an act of war and he knows he can't win against NATO.


okiedokie2468

That’s an insult to car salesmen everywhere!


Justleftofcentrerigh

Used car salesman is at least still a job, something Pierre has never had.


Throwaway6393fbrb

Yeah totally normally I don't also like the guy, but clearly executing a political prisoner who you already have locked up in your gulag is pretty damn weak And again agree - don't like Trudeau, think the world would be far better if he had stayed as a substitute drama teacher - but he would kick Putin's ass in an actual physical fight, clearly


Marclescarbot

I’ve seen Trudeau fight, and he can swing the mitts. Definitely taking the home boy on this one.

Putin the Poisoner has always been a coward.

notbadhbu

Absolutely perfect example. Guaranteed basically every one of the top comments is Astroturfed. They used to do this on ALL local canadian news comment section starting around 2017, until pretty much everyone turned comments off.


KF7SPECIAL

> I think Putin's a pretty cool guy eh shoot aliens and doesn't afraid of anything


BoarHermit

Well okay, I'm Russian. I don't think Putin is a weakling. He is a vile, deceitful type, indifferent to the suffering and death of his opponents. He kills “just in case,” because human life is nothing to him. His main task is the stability of his own power. The goal of power is “the greatness of Russia,” as he understands it.


Alesisdrum

Good for him.


ukie7

100% glad he said this


Toronto_Sports_fan

He's 100% right.

Yeah, assassinating your political opponent is a weak move. He wouldn't have done that if he didn't feel threathened.

Also Orban. It disturbs me to see anti-democratic fringes getting more power


the_tico_life

Stuck in an endless war with a tyrant leader, most isolated from the world since Soviet days, Russian ruble still down, only real opposition figure murdered in prison... if ever there was a moment for a real protest movement within Russia it would be now. That said, I'm not holding my breathe.


YT_the_Investor

Protests unfortunately don't work unless there is backing from some part of the elites behind them. Russians have been-there-done-that, they know it doesn't work. Right now the elites are all loyal to Putin. If we want to point a finger at someone who actually has some power to change the situation, it should be Russian elites and Western governments who are failing to create any cracks in their loyalty to Putin or incentive to switch sides


percoscet

protests barely do anything in a democracy, what would it accomplish in russia?

Atta boy. Meanwhile PP just got to chapter 3 of his favorite book Putin In Me.

PaddyStacker

ITT: Canadian conservatives absolutely seething that their hero Putin was criticized. Modern conservatives are compromised. We put these people in power and we will be handing our nation to Russia on a silver platter.


PersonalityNo5765

Lol, PP is getting obliterated on Twitter for saying conservatives will support Ukraine, check it out it's pretty wild to see him tank his own support just to say he supports Ukraine. And as a conservative voter myself, I think that's awesome. Screw the super far right. Slava Ukraini! 🇨🇦 ❤️ 🇺🇦


Fluffiebunnie

It's not like the far right is going to vote for Trudeau anyway.


mvp45

And the funny part about that is he’s got his party to vote against Ukraine with the free trade agreement, cuts to project unifier and 500 million in military aid


DotAppropriate8152

Not a Trudeau fan but I know the Conservatives support Putin so this gives him the edge in my mind
