Intro

Controversial podcaster Joe Rogan released a two-hour interview with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre on Thursday, where political philosophy and mutual condemnation of COVID-19 mandates interwove with talk of mixed martial arts and Poilievre's denial of a conspiracy theory about former prime minister Justin Trudeau. CBC's Kate McKenna breaks down the biggest moments, including when Poilievre said he wished the U.S. president would 'knock that s--t off' on 51st state comments. Plus, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says the conversation on energy projects has changed under Prime Minister Mark Carney, but approval and development 'does need to be quicker.'
