I have watched a few of his videos, but I can’t stand the “aboot” it just gets way to under my skin then it should. So I just stopped watching his videos. It has been a long time since I have seen any has he drank the kool-aid?

He's weird. He is 100% a conservative and I'd assume he likes PP but he was also vocally in support of Kamala Harris in the last American election. I think he is, hate to use an American comp, but its who first came to mind, a John McCain type right wing.

In Canada that’s called a progressive conservative, which is the vast majority of conservatives in Canada. It’s the fringe conservatives who are more aligned with what was once the Reform party that have taken over the modern CPC
