Just try and imagine how many wars could have been avoided, how many lives could have been saved, how many ruined cities could have been living and thriving now — if it wasn’t for that "don’t provoke Putin" snot-chewing that continued for the last 15 years.

Singh has higher approval ratings than PMJT and PP. Nonetheless, Cdns aren’t voting for him. Why? Singh has decided to become Broadbent rather than Layton. Looks like they have given up on replacing LPC as progressive option. Deal with LPC makes them electorally irrelevant. 7/n
