Overview
- The full episode, recorded in Austin during Poilievre’s U.S. trip, was released March 19 as part of his push to make a public case for tariff-free trade.
- Poilievre told Rogan that Canada is not for sale and said Trump should drop the 51st state rhetoric, framing the issue as a defence of Canadian sovereignty.
- Rogan said on air that he would vote for Poilievre if he were Canadian, casting the interview as a positive encounter and praising Poilievre’s proposals.
- The roughly 2.5–3 hour conversation ranged from energy and immigration to MAID and mental health, with Poilievre declining to criticize Prime Minister Mark Carney on foreign soil and emphasizing cooperation on trade.
- Reaction in Canada was divided over the choice of platform, with supporters citing valuable long-form reach and critics questioning the optics of engaging a controversial U.S. host.
