After this interview (while I appreciate open, calm and honest conversation), I understand O’Toole much better. I am thankful he is no longer the leader of the party. Our society and culture have changed dramatically. For instance, if you are on the prosecuting end of an ethics or fraud case, you eventually sadly realize that the general societal atmosphere of yesteryear no longer exists. In our day, (surprise surprise) ethics ‘have to be taught’ and generally that doesn’t happen. I believe that O’Toole is living in the past; it shows in his approach to things. He is naive.

What do you call a liberal that deflected from his own leader the fact all you Liberals have stolen billions of Canadian tax dollars, but you attack a women on line with our proof . Cowards do this , show the proof . Typical lying liberal throw shit out and see what sticks.

Such a hypocrite. This is the architect of identity politics. This is the architect of pitting one group of Canadians against others. To hear these clowns talk about progress is stomach turning and so out of touch. 23 PEOPLE a day die of safe supply drug overdoes. Children are being put on a path to sex change and these two think thats okay. Crime of all sorts is disastrous (just ask Toronto police). Immigration (nevermine you at least know you screwed that up - the only bad actor was your video trying to pass blame). The only pollution in this country to worry about is the crap in Ottawa. The real reason he is still here? Hate speech. His online harms bill that will enable a fascist regime.

Hand it to Nate, he is honest when it comes to "fix the budget." Justin doesn't understand what it means either. He is still waiting for it to balance by itself.

What do you call a Politician that steals money from Canadians and imports a working class from another country to devalue Labour while exporting all manufacturing and ruining our dollar? a Traitor, or a Canadian politician? What a Kangaroo court you ought to be ashamed.

Erin O'Toole would not have implemented the kinds of changes required to improve the country. Namely, he would not slash public servant jobs, he would not slash funding to the ultra-biased CBC, and would not prioritize growth and productivity over monetary policy whuch offers short term poltiical gains.

Thank you for hosting a candid, open discussion. I enjoyed listening to this conversation. Particularly liked hearing about the real perspective of political operatives re: their base as it explains some wackier moments with leaders.

Poilievre versus O'Toole. Notice how Erin praises Freeland and then proceeds to totally destroy her and highlight her complete incompetence. Poilivere is straightforward. Rather than create dissonance his statements are "Freeland is incompetent - here's why ..."

This is sad. The cartoon slogans speak to the destructive nature of this government. Sorry they are working so effectively, Nate - get over it. Why does it feel like one person is trying to have a serious conversation grounded in integrity and principles and the other guy is trying to score political points. Why is the Trudeau hack doing everything possible to get Erin to disparage Poilievre? O'Toole is the PM Canada doesn't deserve. He is the person the country needs given he is guided by principles. What we get is a PM that runs a country based on identity politics, emotion and fashion. Poilivere is pointing out the failures of Trudeau. If you can't own up to it stop talking. 23 people a day die of over dose thanks to safe supply and failed policy. Immigration (say no more) but the real legacy of Trudeau and his delliousional supporters is putting children on a path to a sex change. That is stomach churning garbage based on weak and false evidence.

This isn't some right wing conspiracy. You interviewed Peter Singer on your podcast and you have close ties to criminal activists such Jenny McQueen and others. You dismiss the vegan activist label yet aren't willing to actually discuss your views with anyone who disagrees with your actual philosophy.

Trudeau starts off by saying he needs to get his message across to all Canadians, and that is very true. One of the reasons Harris lost to Trump was because with the exception of one Fox News interview, she stuck to legacy media that not many people watch anymore. I think that JT should learn from that and go on outlets like Rebel News & True North; do interviews with Joe Rogan, etc. It would be brutal at points obviously, because they're categorically anti-Trudeau (even if the reasons why change like the days of the week). However if he were to do that, at least SOME people who never engage with the likes of CBC would at least have an opportunity to hear what he has to say. Whereas if he doesn't, all they'll continue to hear will be right wing talking points. Some might say, "Rebel News (& the like) would never have him on!" Of course they would! Why? Because people would watch it, and that's ultimately what they're about - views. If people were to tune in only to see Trudeau (they hope) get trounced, then so be it. They've tuned in, and there's at least some hope that a few would actually hear him. If JT's _actual_ policies were known, rather than the skewed versions that are filtered through right wing media, they would have a lot of support.

O'toole is the reason we have Trudeau

Two idiots who have had way more power in shaping Canada than they have any business having

Worst conservative leader since Mulroney.

You lost me at “Danielle is going after trans kids”. How anyone could be for puberty blockers and other hormone replacement therapies for kids is beyond me. Why would you allow a child to make life altering decisions?

this was a fantastic discussion!

Congratulation my father and our friend Smith

Congratulation my father and our friend

Justin. God gave you two ears and one mouth. Stop talking and start listening. YOU are not wated anymore. Forget your bad policies and everything else. Please. You are killing Canadian heritage and robbing all of us!

she's going to come to jail and get out and become a millionaire

Awesome, this why Petrie is the peoples choice.

22:45 so saying that he is going to take away people's rights isn't trying to make people scared of him?

7:08 Ah yes, the candidate of the free market and austrian style economics Justin Trudeau vs the fiscally irresponsible Keynesian Pierre Polievre who wants to micro manage the economy

Good conversation... Want to add that I think why Trudeau was so popular in 2015 when he first ran was also because he said he would do voter reform so "every vote would count" and many Canadians thought that meant we would finally get some form of mixed-member proportional representation... But of course they wanted ranked ballot because the most centrist parties benefit from it and then he broke his promise when it because clear that wasn't going to cut it. This country desperately needs electoral reform and a party that actually believes in something. Because right now the options are fascism or parties with no real platform.

Erin O’Toole is the reason that we are stuck with Trudeau today he is a sellout and a fake conservative

Kat Canada made you look ineffective in committee. It was glorious

Great conversation - really enjoying this podcast! I think it would be interesting to hear you and JT (or other guests) get into the weed of policy. Learn alot from this format and gain alot of insight that's hard to see through traditional media (although i do believe in traditional media as a source of information). Debate it :)

What would you call a Liberal who won’t release the information about Chinese interference in our elections…..oh ya a CCP liberal asset

Y’all boomers need some timestamps ain’t no way im watching all that

Should you really be starting a new career while Canadian tax dollars are paying you to be an MP?

Hey Erskine-Smith, you said no businesses were lost due to Federal Government policies during Covid. For owner-operators of cross-boarder trucking...trucking is their business. Lauren Southern schooled you Champ

A couple guys who don't see how screwed our nation is. Great people, but not with the tenacity we need for leadership right now.

Two Liberal's sit down for a beer - fixed the title for you, Nathaniel!

Erin O'Toole should have been the Prime Minister in 2021 our country would be much better off.

If you can come out of this conversation still supporting trudeau you have partisan blinders on. Conservatives are pricks too😂😂 unfortunately rhey seem to be the only ones who have a pulse on the peoples expectations though Lifetime liberal and ndp voter here btw. You couldn't pay me enough borrowed debt laden $250s to make me vote for trudeau again You can see how nate almost always cuts off the conversation whenever Erin brought up any of the never ending scandals of the trudeau govt.

Two absolute morons. Nobody cares what these failed politicians have to say. Especially Nate. A radical left wing snow flake. FJT

As a conservative, I can pat myself on the back knowing I made the right choice in supporting Pierre Poilievre

Polluters aren’t paying though you friggin goof, regular people trying to pay for essentials like food and housing are, get a brain

The Rest Is Politics: Canadian Version?? This would be a fantastic duo...

A great discuss we need more of between two parties.

Well done.

O'fool is a liberal in conservative clothing. ass booted out in short order. two fools I won't waste my time on. PP axe the tax and @#$% Trudeau

Trudeau going south to kiss the ring or the ass.

are my taxes paying for this bull shit?

Why do you guys like these people? They vote themselves massive pay raises every year, including a 100% single-year jump from around the year 2000, a 100% pay raise, no joke. And none of them speak out about how illogical it is to be the ones deciding how much taxpayers are paying for your "public service".

NDP is a joke and they will never get my votes

When the Federal Liberals are flirting with absolute political ruin for the next 10-15 years a la the Ontario Liberals, the last thing any voter wants to hear about is how the major ideas the potential next Liberal leader has are ESG development and wealth redistribution. It's unfathomable how tone deaf this party has become. The first thought when improving Canadian productivity shoulnd't be the increase in taxes that the government gets to take, it should be the thriving of the Canadian economy. This is the most out of touch interview I've ever listened to.

They keep defending the policies that increase taxes as "successes" and "we're here to help (by spending your hard-earned money for you and taking credit for it)."

Still defending the response to the planned global shutdown as if it was a success 😂 No one is expecting perfect foresight, but the lack of humility in hindsight is staggering. Did you see who Trump just appointed to head the NIH? Do you really think you know more than that doctor?

This is a Liberal MP's show, as he stated. It's not even neutral let alone probative. He won't appear on a "podcast" where there's any chance of him being challenged on anything. This is fake. There are no pre-approved questions and there is also an understanding that certain questions won't be asked.
