He misspoke, nothing else. No one is accusing him of siding with Russia here.

Depending on the observer’s POV, sure.
In the same way that the CPC and PPC could seem the same.

That's probably inevitable. Our they just cease to exist and their members come back to the Cons.

How is this quote "Truly strong leaders don't use police and military to oppress people's voices. " a misquote? There was no faux pas.
This is not about him saying Putin was going to win. It's about his hypocrisy. Strong leaders don't use police to oppresse voices is exactly what he did in Ottawa. Ergo trudeau admits he, himself, is not a strong leader. That was the point of the clip.

New Leger poll suggests support for Conservatives, Pierre Poilievre is growing
A new poll suggests support for Pierre Poilievre is growing, and most Canadians are optimistic about their household finances.Support for the Tories was up one point to 41 per cent in the latest Leger tracking poll, which asks respondents for their voting intentions each month.
Liberal support held steady at 25 per cent, while the NDP dropped two points to 18 per cent.
The pollster surveyed 1,554 Canadians last weekend, asking questions about their preferred choice for prime minister and the state of the economy.
The poll cannot be assigned a margin of error because online surveys are not considered truly random samples.
In all, 61 per cent of respondents said their household finances are good or very good, down two percentage points from January.
Another 36 per cent rated their finances as poor or very poor. Just shy of half the respondents in Atlantic Canada fell into that group.
The survey found 48 per cent of respondents were living paycheque to paycheque — a problem most acute for people under age 55 — and more than a third reported being concerned about losing their job in the next year.
The political results follow a trend that began last July, when Conservatives leapt ahead of the Liberals.
That month, 35 per cent of respondents said they would vote for the Tories, putting them six percentage points ahead of the governing Liberals.
Two-thirds of those surveyed in the new poll said they're dissatisfied with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberals, including 42 per cent who said they're very dissatisfied.
Liberal support was strongest in Atlantic Canada at 40 per cent, while Conservative support reached 61 per cent in Alberta and 48 per cent in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
About one-third of voters in Quebec said they'd cast a ballot for the Bloc Québécois. But the Tories were not far behind, at 29 per cent support.
Men were more likely than women to say they would vote Conservative, and the party also had stronger support in rural and suburban ridings compared to major cities.
Poilievre was the preferred prime minister for 27 per cent of respondents, putting him ahead of Trudeau by 10 points.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh was a very close third at 16 per cent. A combined 31 per cent selected none of the above or said they don't know or preferred not to say who they would choose.
Poilievre's support among women sat at just 21 per cent, compared to 34 per cent among men.

There, FTFY.
Trudeau's biggest rival for leader of the LPC might be the current leader of the NDP
Dimsum, I don't have a single good feeling towards JT. Not one.
That being said...I agree with you.
It someone misspeaks, catches themselves, and corrects it - it's hard to fault them. I think we've all been there countless times ourselves.
Heck last weekend I learned a girl's name is NOT what I've been calling her for like the last year. It would be pretty hard for me to double down and be like "No! No! No! Your name IS Jenn!"
_______________________________________
It's his completely two faced nature that draws the ire out of people...
He says all the right things. Heck if we were judging him as a PM based purely on what he says, I'd wager he would rank pretty decently...
He makes a point to "include everybody", and he "invests in Canadians". He "stands. up. for. Canadians!"
He says things that sound noble, the kinds of things people around the world would hear and think to themselves "I wish all world leaders were more like him..."
(Like above where he says strong leaders don't use the police or military forces to oppress people's voices...it sounds like something a good leader would say, because it's true.)
Except in his case, it's not true.
It's the sinister undertone behind everything he says and does, disguised to sound noble only on the surface.
His hypocrisy knows no end, and sometimes is only outdone by...well, himself...
"Truly strong leaders do not use the police or military to oppress people's voices..." is brought to you by the exact same guy who chose to not only use the police and military to oppress people's voices, but even took it one step further and decided to use their own banks against them too
Like I said...he says all the right things. Its just that he doesn't mean a bloody word of it.

100% agreed. I think people would respect him a little more if he came right out and said what his intentions were.

If he did that he'd likely be facing a lynch mob.

Perhaps I missed something. What context was removed from the quote in the clip about strong leaders?

Not that one- the one where he said Russia should win. The missing context was that he immediately corrected himself to Ukraine.

That kind of mistake is no small thing in the context of it all. It's not like he simply forgot a province in a speech...
