Rogan mocks Canada for reelecting Liberal Party, says ‘dumba–‘ Conservative candidate refused to come on show
Podcaster Joe Rogan on Tuesday marveled at how Canada reelected yet another liberal government after years of controversies. Canada's Liberal Party won the country's federal election for the fourth consecutive time on April 28. At one point, Pierre Poilievre appeared poised to become the next prime minister and lead his Conservatives to a majority government after Justin Trudeau announced his plans to step down. But in a turnaround sparked in part by President Donald Trump's threats of annexation and his tariffs on America's close ally and northern neighbor, Liberal Mark Carney won. Advertisement Rogan's guest, hunting podcaster Cameron Hanes, brought up Canada's infamous 2022 crackdown on the Freedom Convoy protest under Trudeau, when hundreds of truckers and sometimes thousands of protesters clogged the streets of downtown Ottawa by Parliament to protest vaccine mandates, coronavirus passports and other government restrictions. 'People who donated to them got their bank accounts frozen,' Rogan marveled as he recalled the 'insane' incident. 'And then that same party just won again. Good job, Canada!' 3 Rogan said that Poilievre would have had a better chance at winning if he appeared on his podcast. YouTube The host then claimed that Poilievre rejected his invitation to be a guest on the podcast. Advertisement 'I offered to have that Pierre guy come on the podcast. He didn't do it. Wouldn't do it. Thought it was too problematic. Or whatever,' Rogan claimed, adding that a source told him 'his advisers were telling him not to do it.' 'Like, hey, dumba–,' Rogan added with a grin. 3 Conservative party leader Pierre Poilievre speaks to supporters alongside his wife Anaida Poilievre after the election was declared for the Liberal Party in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada April 29, 2025. REUTERS Trump's lengthy appearance on Rogan's podcast was seen as a critical moment in the election, while then-Vice President Kamala Harris' potential interview falling through came to be seen as a strategic blunder. Advertisement Some observers have dubbed the 2024 presidential election the 'podcast election' because of how critical the role of podcasts were in lieu of legacy media. Hanes scoffed at people being concerned about coming on Rogan's podcast, arguing he does friendly interviews, 'You've never been the 'gotcha' guy.' 3 Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre's campaign office in the Carleton riding on election day during the 2025 Federal Elections, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, 28 April 2025.

What can be done to reverse some of these things that have been put into place?' Like, 'How did you feel about this? What would you have done differently?' Real simple stuff. I don't know anything about Canada's politics.' Advertisement 'It would have been fun,' Rogan said. Fox News Digital reached out to Poilievre's team and did not receive an immediate reply.
