A Liberal candidate that sat down with Jordan Peterson would earn my respect. And Pierre Poilievre should do a podcast with Paul Wells and an interview Rosemary Barton.
A potential PM must be able to defend their policies with anyone.
I felt a little better when I saw Vassy Kapelos say that she hasn't interviewed Trudeau since 2018 and has never interviewed Poilievre. I mean, when did our leaders become such chickens. I guarantee to all of these people that the job will always be far, far harder than the questions.
I think it's because they've lost the plot, to the degree that politicians ever had the plot, about "questions" and "answers". When's the last time you heard a politician in Question Period ask someone a question, rather than making a declaration that's phrased, Jeopardy-style, as a question?
Yes. It seems a few media orgs are either rewriting or ignoring the past 9 yrs of scandals and ethical lapses (understatement). Hoping you don't shy away from calling them out for past and why we should forgive them. Appreciate you reaching out. Thanks
Kamala should have gone to Austin, too. If it had gone badly, nothing would have changed: her supporters would have blamed Rogan and her detractors would have had their biases confirmed. If it had gone well, she may have flipped a few detractors.
Not wise to ignore long-form podcasts in 2025. And better you than Jordan Peterson.

So true. Chickens. Are you afraid of sharing *your own ideas* with the voters you want to vote for you?
And the conversations will be far more polite, I expect, than the histrionics of Question Period.
Is it chicken when the broadcaster only uses attack questions and doesn't listen to any answers. I call that smart..
Sorry, are you the *same person* who asked whether I'd hold the Liberal candidates' feet to the fire?
Yes. It seems a few media orgs are either rewriting or ignoring the past 9 yrs of scandals and ethical lapses (understatement). Hoping you don't shy away from calling them out for past and why we should forgive them. Appreciate you reaching out. Thanks
100% agree, Jerry. I feel the same way about PP coming to Paul's pod and Liberals to Peterson's. I'm not holding my breath on the latter, though.
Kamala should have gone to Austin, too. If it had gone badly, nothing would have changed: her supporters would have blamed Rogan and her detractors would have had their biases confirmed. If it had gone well, she may have flipped a few detractors.
My hope would be both. I'd like to see these candidates talk with Jordan Peterson, and I'd also like Pierre Poilievre to take Paul up on his offer.
