There is still zero reason to let Americans call in on this. Should Radio Ukraine host a call in-show asking Russians what they think of Ukraine becoming the newest Oblast?

Please don't ask my why I was reading this at 9:44 on a Fri-day night but what in the heck

Notably, this list of Rustad's preferred board members does not include Lindsay Shepherd, a writer for True North News who appeared on a Quebec white supremacist's podcast in 2019, has complained about Orange Shirt Day & suggested immigration be cut by 95%. #bcpoli thetyee.ca/News/2024/10...
