It seems like our leaders don't think they need to answer questions:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was the trendsetter here, making the rounds on non-political and non-Canadian podcasts over the past year ... the questions he faced were less hard-nosed than those from Parliament Hill reporters

...

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre sitting down with Jordan Peterson for a very long talk on Mr. Peterson’s [podcast] ... An interview so friendly it’s annoying to the subject is an amazing thing to pull off, but this is the moment we’re in.

...

And now this week, you have Mark Carney ... on The Daily Show. Host Jon Stewart began the interview by crediting Mr. Carney with steering Canada through the 2008 recession without lasting scars, and that was an accurate amuse-bouche for the tone of the whole thing.

The shitty part is that voters seem cool with it. We don't care that our leaders skip hard questions and go on lame podcasts. We're okay to forego fact checking and give them a pass.

It's nothing more delightful than being in a room of 20-30 two-stepping kids. I sort of forgot I taught them a while ago, but we had bananas for snack today and we finished early so I put on 'Banana' by the Aggrolites from Yo Gaba Gaba and they all busted it down two-step style. I forgot that was the song I had taught them to two-step to earlier in the school year. It was an immense delight.

Had no idea the TokTok guy is a guest of honor at the inauguration. Gross.
