I’m about an hour and a half into it right now. I’d encourage people to listen to it, regardless of how they feel about Poilievre. It was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be, though I found the first ten minutes a bit much.
I think his views on Canada’s politics were well-articulated and insightful. He talked about our Parliamentary system and the role of opposition in ways that weren’t petty or partisan. It was a measured, respectful tone and it was frankly refreshing to hear him talk about Canada in glowing, positive terms. Obviously a departure from what we’ve seen domestically.
Rogan tried baiting him into criticizing Carney repeatedly and I thought he was pretty respectful and didn’t take the bait.
This isn’t going to turn Liberal supporters into Poilievre fanboys but it was a surprisingly human, interesting discussion that didn’t get into the muck.

„One of the biggest leverage points we have to fight for tariff-free trade, to fight for our auto, steel, aluminum and lumber workers, is the goodwill of the American people,“
Is he really that naive?

I liked that he refused to criticize Carney on foreign soil! That was cool
Americans should be ashamed! Both Democrats and Republicans….

Kind of a genius move for Poilievre…..his best political future may well be if Trump invades and makes him governor.

I dislike the guy but respect his conviction for Canadian political traditions, including his stated refusal to criticize the prime minister on foreign soil, shutting down talk of the Trudeau/Castro conspiracy, and writing off Alberta separatism as nonsense.

Any talk PP is making about Canada in glowing terms (as some commentors have said) is performative. You can’t erase years of “Canada is broken!” whining with a softball podcast.

I hate to say it, but he did well.
I know more about kettlebells now than I even needed to, but anyways.
And I appreciate him not going after Carney on foreign soil during a trade war.

Heard he did well but it doesn’t change the fact that’s he’s conservative meaning his politics isn’t really about helping people. Hell liberals aren’t either but they sprinkle bread crumbs which conservatives don’t
It’s also doesn’t hide the fact he was pushing white nationalism at the start of his campaign against Trudeau in 2024

Carney gives the Davos speech which makes a big splash, directs more international attention at Canada than it’s received in a long time, and also draws broad praise across domestic media and public discourse. One good speech does not a Prime Minister make, but it was still a timely lightning rod moment for Canada and for Carney himself.
There’s no arguing with Rogan’s audience numbers, but I still I don’t know what Conservative strategists are smoking if they think that Poilievre appearing on his podcast is a strong counter to distinguish him against Carney. It will please some of the Con base, sure, but the larger effect will just be to make all the voters who dislike him dislike him even more.

I actually rather like this. I don’t think it will change any minds I’m Canada.
I hope it changes some minds in the U.S. The constant press of anti-Canadian rhetoric in the U.S. is getting dangerous.
I’m hoping it gets some of the American right to think of Canadians as people again.

This is the same goober who dodged the CBC and CTV because, as evidenced when he had to give a couple of interviews to real journalists like Barton and Kapelos, he performed like a bumbling backbencher – which he is.
He should stick to speaking with Peter Thiel’s cumrag Rogan, and Jordan Koma Kremlinson.

Don’t buy Pierre poilievres third rebrand for one second… If the wind was blowing in the other direction he’d immediately change his tune.

Honestly, I was impressed. I thought he represented Canada extremely well and a lot of his ideas seemed rational. Anyone who says otherwise off of this interview probably didn’t listen. And I’m a lifelong liberal.
