Canadian Federal Politics Thread v5

[Fuzz]

Joe learned all he needed to know about Canada during the pandemic from the usual festering holes of bull####, so he knows about the plight of the truckers, and how trans people took over the country, and how we have no rights except to kill ourselves with MAID. He's not only a source of misinformation, his brain is impregnated with it.

It will be a great day when that podcast is gone forever.

Imagine sitting right smack in the middle of a house that’s burning to the ground and commenting that your neighbor’s residence is sliding.

Canada certainly has some problems, but at least we're still a democracy. Meanwhile Rogan's beloved U.S. has spiralled rapidly down the toilet into full-blown fascism with a childish narcissistic lunatic at the helm. Government agents are murdering American citizens in the streets, people are being stripped of their rights, and there are serious doubts about whether or not upcoming elections will be fair or even held at all. Or how about Trump talking about a 3rd term and starting insane wars that he has no idea how to get out of, etc, etc...

Rogan is a f'n moron.

I listed to the first 90 minutes.
Rogan is one of the stupidest people alive; I can't believe how much influence he has.
The amount of nonsense he talks about Canada and so many other things is astounding and he says it all with such confidence; not because he knows anything, but because the size of his audience validates him as an authority.

In fairness to PP; he handles the interview pretty well.
He doesn't take the bait to start slamming Carney, talks up the Canadian parliamentary system vs America's system and mostly focuses on Canada's resources and why America should drop tariffs.
I would have liked him to push back on Rogan more on the misrepresentation of Canada, which he did do when talking about the oil sands and Rogan saying how bad they are environmentally.
He seemed prepared to not get pulled into any Maple Maga positioning, where someone like D Smith found have likely jumped in head first.

Have to admit I've been impressed with how Poilievre has handled himself recently.
He's pivoted from the angry sound bite man and is coming across as a reasonable, intelligent person.
doing a good job of appearing to work with the liberals when it also benefits the conservatives, and he's getting points for not bashing Carney and the Liberals to any American that will listen. He's being team Canada.

someone has finally gotten through to him to show what he needs to do to be a viable alternative as PM.

I'd still not vote for his party, but do have to give him credit for his recent turn.

Clearly he's got someone new running his image, but this is probably a lot more of a shallow makeover than a Farkas level realization he's been wrong about a lot of things. It's not his first time, and I doubt any actual change has taken place, other than an attempt to appear more appealing. It's not like he had a lot of options of which direction to try next.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

Absolutely not... he's of course just being a weather vane, which is all he's ever been. Very standard politician of the purest sort: "whatever gets me more votes, more influence, more power is what I'm going to be and what I'm going to say". This is why the notion that Poilievre was ever Canadian Trump was so ridiculous; he isn't the same animal at all. He's Ted Cruz.

A perfect snap shot of how Rogan operates is how quickly Poilievre reverses his opinions on tailing ponds. He just says to Rogan that they aren’t bad, and it’s environmental extremist misinformation, and Rogan goes “yeah they got me…”.

He'll just go back to his smarmy yap dog personality when he is back in the house of commons. You can't change an old deplorable.

Thats still pretty crappy. Ted Cruz is the most evil thing to ever come out of Calgary.
