'Canada is communist': Joe Rogan bashes Justin Trudeau as a 'f***ing dictator' over pandemic response



Joe Rogan didn't hold back in recently lambasting Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. During Thursday's episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," the prolific podcaster accused Trudeau of being a dictator.

“Canada is communist,” Rogan told guest and fellow comedian Tom Segura. "They’re f***ed. They’re f***ed."

"They gotta get rid of that guy,” he said of Trudeau.

Rogan admitted that he liked Trudeau before the pandemic.

"I was like he’s a handsome guy. Seems sweet. Good looking guy, confident, good talker," he complimented Trudeau. "And during the pandemic, I’m like, 'Oh, you’re a f***ing dictator. Oh, you don’t like criticism. You’re trying to shut down criticism by saying all your critics are misogynists and racists.'"

During the anti-vaccine mandate protests in 2021, Trudeau called the large trucker protest a "small fringe element in the country." He added that the protesters don't believe the science and lash with "racist, misogynistic attacks."

"He's gross, he's a sketchy guy," Rogan said of Trudeau. "He's got some shaky f***ing deals. Like why do you want everyone to get injected every four months? They don't need that anymore. Like what are we doing?"

Rogan added that international travelers can't visit Canada unless they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

The government of Canada website states:

"Unless you qualify as a fully vaccinated traveler, you cannot enter Canada for reasons such as:

  • spending time at a seasonal home or cottage
  • visiting an immediate or extended family member, if age 18 or over
  • attending a Canadian educational institution as an international student if age 18 or over
  • childcare for your relatives
  • a personal or casual visit
  • air or rail crew, medical worker, transportation, or sports
  • tourism, fishing, entertainment or leisure"
Segura chimed in and noted that New York City has vibes of the peak of the pandemic.

"I was just in New York," Segura said. "Everyone was masked up everywhere. I was like, 'What's going on, why is everyone so masked up?'"

Rogan noted that Austin was a far different environment when it came to COVID.

This isn't the first time that Rogan has bashed Trudeau.

Last month, Rogan slammed Trudeau for his gun control comments.

Trudeau said, "We have a culture where the difference is guns can be used for hunting or for sport shooting in Canada, and there are lots of gun owners and they’re mostly law respecting and law-abiding, but you can’t use a gun for self-protection in Canada."

Rogan said he was "disgusted" by Trudeau's remarks.

"He said you don't have the right in Canada to own a gun to protect your life. It is one of the most wild things I've ever seen anybody say, because first of all, I don't believe it's true," the Spotify host said.

In 2019, Rogan ridiculed Trudeau for his bumbling answer about how he claimed that his family doesn't use plastic bottles.

Canadian parents could face fines or jail time for bringing children to ‘unlawful’ Freedom Convoy protests under new emergency powers act



Canadian parents who bring their children to demonstrations the government considers to be "unlawful" can now face thousands of dollars in fines or jail time, CBC News reported.

The new power reportedly comes after the federal government invoked the Emergencies Act this week, granting itself exceptional measures to address the country's ongoing Freedom Convoy trucker protests. It marked the first time the act has been invoked since its passage in 1988.

For more than two weeks now, thousands of demonstrators have been camping in Ottawa, Canada's capital city, in protest of the country's COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Elsewhere, protesters have blocked border crossings between the U.S. and Canada, vowing to stay until Prime Minister Justin Trudeau lifts vaccine mandates and other coronavirus restrictions on truckers crossing the border.

Under the act, the federal government can restrict travel and prohibit people from bringing minors to any public assemblies that disrupt the movement of people, goods, and trade, or that support the "threat or use of acts of serious violence against persons or property."

Specifically, the act allows government authorities to administer fines of up to $5,000 or five years jail time for those who bring children under the age of 18 to participate in the assembly and the same penalties for anyone who participates in the blockades or brings aid — such as food or fuel — to people involved, CBC noted.

Banks and insurance companies have also been granted the authority to freeze participants' accounts and cancel their vehicle insurance.

In a notice issued Wednesday, Ottowa police told protesters, "You must leave the area now. Anyone blocking streets, or assisting others in the blocking streets, are committing a criminal offence and you may be arrested."

"You must immediately cease further unlawful activity or you will face charges," the notice added.

Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino similarly commented, "To those who may be thinking to come to Ottawa this weekend — don't. At best, the residents of the city have made it clear that this is not the time. And at worst, you may be tying yourself to dangerous criminal activity."

While announcing the invocation of the Emergencies Act on Monday, Trudeau noted that the military would not be called in to disperse the crowds but said the nation's police would be granted greater power to impose fines and imprisonment on those engaging in "illegal and dangerous activities."

"This is about keeping Canadians safe, protecting people's jobs, and restoring confidence in our institutions," he said.

'This could cost him his job': Only 16% of Canadians would vote for 'weak' Trudeau based on his leadership during the Freedom Convoy



As trucker protests have snatched international headlines for the past two weeks, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau finds himself on the receiving end of some eye-opening poll results.

A new Maru Public Opinion poll of 1,506 Canadian adults surveyed between Feb. 9-10 found that 29% of Canadians believe Trudeau has "acted like a prime minister should in the face of the protest." Only 17% of Canadians saw Trudeau as "strong in acting to stop the protests," while 53% said the prime minister has "looked weak in the face of threats to the country."

Hours before the start of the Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa last month, Trudeau was reportedly transported to a "secret location" because of "security reasons."

In who to blame for the escalation of the protests, there were 46% who pointed the finger at the truckers and 31% at Trudeau. The poll said there were 44% who felt that Trudeau has "inflamed" the protests against vaccine mandates.

Based on his leadership or lack thereof during the trucker protests, a mere 16% of Canadians would "want to vote for him because of how he has dealt with the situation."

"The last time I’ve seen numbers even close to this were in the final days of Brian Mulroney. I think this could cost him his job," John Wright – executive vice-president of Maru Public Opinion and a 32-year industry veteran – told the Edmonton Journal.

The survey found that 64% of Canadians believe the country's democracy is "being threatened by a group of protesters and they must be stopped immediately." The same percentage of Canadians support using armed forces to clear out the trucks with heavy tow vehicles. There were 53% who would be in favor of law enforcement "forcefully" removing any truckers and their families, including the use of tear gas and other crowd-control munitions "even if it may cause injury or worse." There are 58% calling for trucker protesters to face jail sentences of up to two years.

Only 20% of Canadians "fully support" the trucker protests, while 24% endorse the truckers' cause but not the method of how they are carrying out their demonstrations. There are 56% of Canadians who don't support the Freedom Convoy protests in "any way, shape, or form and believe that we need to do everything we can to put an end to their activities."

Trudeau was bashed by liberal talk show host Bill Maher on Friday night for the way the prime minister denigrated the truckers.

"They don't believe in science, they're often misogynistic, often racist," Trudeau said of anti-vaccine mandate protesters in September. "They take up space, and with that we have to make a choice – in terms of a leader in a country – do we tolerate these people?"

Maher compared Trudeau's comments to Adolf Hitler.

Maher remarked, "'Tolerate these people?' Now you do sound like Hitler."
