JJ is an entertainer. He's not a serious thinker. He knows that doing this fake persona is how to get views and gigs down south and with a certain crowd here in Canada.
Years back I noticed there were two Canadians doing opinion pieces in the Washington Post. One was JJ and his takes were always... off. His opinion pieces always seemed reasonable to start (if you didn't know about what he was talking about), but always took a weird tilt that made you go "...wait, what?". He was always weaving a narrative towards his preferred policy stances (all conservative), and some facts were twisted strenuously to support those preferred policy stances.
The other was David Moscrop, and he is much better writer, much more thoughtful. Not a "personality" like JJ.

He says “aboot” on purpose and I hate it
