T Inman;
Top of the morning to you my friend, I hope you're all starting to get a bit of spring weather and you're well.
We're going to head out for morels - round 2 - in a wee bit here since the forest fires last summer were so close to us and all.
Like you've mentioned, I started listening to Jordan Peterson before he was as well known as he is today, usually listening to his psychology lectures which were put up on YouTube. As I've said too, while I don't agree with everything he says, he does make me think about what I believe and why that might be so, which I've come to believe is never a bad thing.
As far as Pierre Poilievre is concerned, he's a Calgary born fellow - was adopted by a pair of teachers who divorced when he was in his early teens. He got involved in politics pretty early and has been a standing MP for most of his working life - which isn't a plus for me truly.
That said, he has always said the right things and as far as I am aware has done the right things in public/politically - again for me and in my right of center opinion.
He was a cabinet member in the Stephen Harper government and as far as I can find and recall, did good work there.
His wife is from Venezuela originally and seems to be bright and is an entrepreneur as well as involved in politics. If they don't get along as a couple, they're really good at faking it. This made me chuckle when I saw it.

If my fellow Canadians can't see that alone as a sign T, well let's say I hope and pray they can for a change, you know?
He's not perfect for sure - well nobody is I suspect? Personally speaking, as usual I've made a couple mistakes today before the second cup of coffee is done, so I'm in the same boat for sure.
The video might not interest you much T, but for me it was informative watching a front running politician sit down one on one and take unscripted questions for an hour and a half and then articulate intelligent responses fairly free of weasel words.
All the best to you this spring.
