Joe Rogan and Pierre Poilievre interview

What you just saw was PP unfiltered through the CBC and other Canadian news outlets. He was always there, but filtered. The "narrative" will appear to not continue on this side of the border when that CBC filter is once again applied.

I don't disagree with you. But PP also seemed to make it a policy to talk to no one during the campaign.

By doing this he let the opposition (the media) dictate the tempo or narrative.
 
If you really think it's only the "CBC filter" that's in place re: how people perceive him (in spite of huge poll leads over PMJT right up until PMJT GTFO'ed), why did he appear with Archetypical CBC'ist Peter Mansbridge on his podcast? I await PP's appearance on a show like this ...
... where even though the host is a former Team Red operative, he would deal with PP both firmly AND with respect. Here's the interview the host did in the fall with PP's current campaign manager before he became campaign manager to give you a taste of how he deals with guests.
A tiny bit of interesting telegraphing by Outhouse in this interview, too, about how he might do things differently a fair bit before he got the job being the campaign XO.

My mistake: The Curse is the panel show, while “Herle Burly” is the one-on-one. Thanks!
 
I felt he did a great job representing himself and Canada. His comment: "I won't criticize the Prime Minister on foreign soil" and how he describes his role as the leader of the Loyal Opposition speaks well of the Canadian system. I am sure that quite few Americans are confused about a system with some decorum still remaining. I think a big point of this interview is to reach the US public and help push Canada's case in regards to tariffs and other political issues.

Comparatively, we have the other side.
Start at 7.3 minutes in.

As expected, it was an excellent podcast.

Same Pierre as last year, message is pretty much the same, but change the format and presentation, and suddenly many here are ok with Pierre.

What I see is some here could not sort through the noise and hear the signal last year. And I would also certainly pin some of this on Jenni Byrne. She was not the right campaign manager for battling the unknown PM MC. Her strategy was effective against PM JT but not Uncle Mark.

Again, very little has changed in his direction and policy proposals, it was just the wrapping and presentation.

He did well, as he did with Mansbridge, sounding more approachable.

I can’t remember tooooo many quotes on any podcasts before Outhouse took over as campaign manager where he said he’d work with government, or that it’s not his job to criticize government outside the country. Or saying out loud that POTUS47’s annexation/51st state talk wasn’t helpful. During the campaign, attack dog is fair ball but this is a new tone & track from his post-election/pre-leadership review look/feel.

Agree no shortage of noise, but we’ll have to agree to disagree that more than just a bit of the signal has changed.

Credit where due, JB was as fierce a political fighter (maybe even more so, given her face wasn’t as public) as her boss, and I suspect a big reason for the change in PP’s “how it’s delivered” is because of the new campaign manager. All that said, though, like following advice from the new guy is to his credit, gotta ding him for letting JB get sometimes a bit too cheap-shot-ish.

That I’m good with, but many people still do judge a book by its cover, for better or worse (even when polls had PP way ahead of JT, the same groups of people said they weren’t happy with PP), so it appears PP is working on a different presentation style. I’m interested to see how it goes versus whatever happens with PMMC at the helm.
