Here's why it's getting clicks: there are some conservatives who talk incessantly about Liberals they deem socialists and autocratic, privileged power brokers. But when someone comes along like Putin, a guy who nightmarishly embodies what these conservatives claim to loathe--but a Liberal speaks out against the Putin?--well, then, an angle has to be found. A Liberal can never be praised for doing the right thing. So, we get this nonsense about Trudeau pandering to the Ukrainian vote and charges of socialism levelled at Wynne and Notley instead.....while Putin's abuses of power at home and abroad remain chilling by any reasonable standard.
