Before Canada’s election last year, Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre turned down an invitation to appear on the world’s most popular podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. Rogan had recently endorsed President Donald Trump, who turned Canada’s election upside-down with tariffs and his suggestions the country should be a US state.

But after losing that vote to Mark Carney, Poilievre has reconsidered. This week he took his anti-tariff, free-market pitch to Rogan’s huge audience with a visit to the podcaster’s wood-paneled studio in Austin, Texas.
