Despite declaring himself to have “zero understanding” of Canadian systems of government and politics, popular podcast host Joe Rogan had some strong words for Canada and Justin Trudeau. On the 1,844th episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, released Thursday, Rogan and comedian Tom Segura expressed their distaste for Canada, specifically the country’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Canada’s communist,” Rogan, 54, said on the podcast. “It’s f— cent. They need to get rid of this guy,” he said, referring to the prime minister.

Rogan admitted that he “has no idea how [the] the system works” in Canada, but claimed he liked Trudeau before the pandemic. “I was like, he’s a handsome guy, he seems sweet,” she said. “Handsome guy, full of confidence, good speaker and then during the pandemic I’m like, ‘Oh, you’re af—king dictator.’ As Segura agreed with Rogan, the podcast host continued, claiming Trudeau doesn’t like criticism and tried to “shut down the criticism by saying all your critics are misogynists and racists.” Rogan was referring to the “Freedom Convoy” in Canada, which has traveled the country and protested vaccine mandates in front of Parliament in Ottawa for several weeks.

Trudeau enacted the Emergency Act in response to the convoy, which blocked Ottawa, on February 14. “He’s gross. He’s a sketchy guy,” Rogan said on the podcast.

This is not the first time Rogan has expressed his distaste for Canadian politics. In May, Rogan also talked about the convoy and previously called Trudeau a “dictator.” “Then when you have what’s creepy — a dictator king for a prime minister — and he’s — the way he behaved during this thing, just the disingenuous way he communicated, it freaked me out because I never thought this guy was like that.” , Rogan said in May. An Ipsos poll in February showed Canadians’ approval of Trudeau’s handling of the convoy blockade was just seven points higher than that of protesters. The poll, conducted exclusively for Global News, found that 43 per cent of Canadians approved of Trudeau’s handling of three weeks of protests in Ottawa, while 36 per cent approved of the way truckers were handled across the country. the duration of the occupation. — With files from Aya Al-Hakim of Global News 0:58 Joe Rogan apologizes after video surfaces showing him using racist language in past podcast episodes Previous Video Next Video © 2022 Global News, a division of Corus Entertainment Inc.
