Joe Rogan won’t return to Canada until voters “get rid of” Trudeau

Joe Rogan doesn’t plan a visit to Canada anytime soon and Justin Trudeau is to blame.
The podcaster had strong words for Canada’s prime minister in a recent episode of his popular show, the Joe Rogan Experience, going as far as to say he won’t be visiting Canada until Trudeau is voted out.
Rogan was speaking to his guest, comedian Sam Morrill, about the trope of U.S. citizens who say they “will move to Canada if former U.S. President Donald Trump is re-elected,” which Rogan claimed to be the worst country of the two.
“That’s not a good place,” said Rogan. “It’s not a good place under this administration at least. They went sideways. Canada was an amazing place ten years ago. You go to Canada ten years ago, it was awesome.”
The UFC commentator cited Trudeau freezing the bank accounts of Canadians during the 2022 Freedom Convoy protest against COVID-19 mandates among the reasons for his perceived downfall of the country.
“They seized up the bank accounts of people who were protesting, the truckers,” said Rogan. “The people that were donating to the truckers, they seized their bank accounts.”
He went on to call Canada’s laws around freedom of speech “ridiculous” and that they give the government many opportunities to take punitive measures.
“Not only that but Canada has ridiculous free speech laws, they have hate speech laws. They can come down on you for a lot of things,” he added.
Morril asked Rogan where he’d previously liked to visit in Canada.
“I love Montreal, Montreal is amazing. I love Toronto. I love Vancouver. I love Canada, but I don’t go to Canada anymore.”
“You wouldn’t do a gig there?” asked Morril, referring to Rogan’s standup career.
“No, not while that guy is president, or prime minister or whatever he is, f**k you.” answered Rogan.
