Andriy Yermak vs Brian Mulroney

Yermak was appointed head of the Office of the President of Ukraine under Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This positioned him as a central figure in Ukraine's wartime governance and diplomatic negotiations.

Yermak oversaw the restructuring of Ukraine's wartime administration, including the creation of military-civilian administrations in occupied territories and streamlining decision-making processes for defense and logistics.

Yermak oversaw multiple prisoner-of-war exchanges between Ukraine and Russia following the 2022 invasion. These exchanges secured the release of hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians, becoming a key humanitarian effort.

Yermak played a central role in securing and coordinating Western military aid, including artillery, tanks, and air defense systems, from the United States and European allies during the full-scale Russian invasion.

Mulroney's government negotiated the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement (CUSFTA), which eliminated tariffs and trade barriers between the two countries. The deal was controversial in Canada but passed after a federal election fought largely on the issue.

Mulroney's government implemented a 7% federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) to replace the hidden Manufacturers' Sales Tax. The GST was deeply unpopular and contributed to the Progressive Conservative Party's electoral collapse in 1993.

Mulroney signed NAFTA alongside US President George H.W. Bush and Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari. The agreement expanded CUSFTA to include Mexico, creating a trilateral trade bloc that reshaped North American commerce.
