Not even gonna lie, Final Shape, Shadow of the Erdtree, and Minecraft 1.21 all releasing in June genuinely almost prevented this video from being finished on time. Managed to pull it off somehow though

It is also now a bucket list item of mine to “re-found” the Ordre Patriotique des Goglus, except this time as an organization dedicated exclusively to bird conservation, just as God intended. Ilyk when applications open. Have a great day :)

The craziest thing about this guy is that he’s real and Paradox Interactive didn’t just make a generic “evil fascist” portrait for Canada in HOI4.

no son, we have Oswald Mosley at home:

[paprikashman]

Finally, he uploaded about the funny hoi4 facist Canadian guy

[LordMyrga]

There is some irony in the fact that his collaboration with the conservative parties and thus his contribution to Canada's exisitng political institutions was probably of more significant influence in Canada's political history than his own movement was.

[kaisat]

He is one of 2 hoi4 leaders that have 1 portrait the other is degrelle in every mod

[nono_real]

I mean.... he has a kinda Legacy

(Having a Creepy portrait in a Swedish Map game)

The Pierre Trudeau bit caught me completely by surprise. Not only because his son is probably the exact opposite of Arcand, but also because I sometimes don't realise how RECENT all of this was.

[NotMe-fl]

I was watching memes and then I get jump-scared with this

[RyanRedfox]

Can I just say that “Adrien Arcand” is such a cool name. It sounds exactly like a villains name on par with Anton Chigurgh or Hannibal Lecter.

[Cadette]

that trudeau bit really caught me off guard lmao, great vid!

[I.am.not.in.your.house.or.am.I]

“He attended church religiously”
Does one attend church secularly?

[amfnyc]

When this guy uploads, you know it’s gonna be a good day :)

[johncolitti]

…the part of Canada filled with Frenchmen?!? I think you’re thinking about your mother…

[Psychogroundparty]

As a native of michigan, this feels like learning about family drama regarding a distant uncle or cousin.

[TheSleepyBear]

Wasn't ready to learn something about Quebec from an Anglo this morning ;) Great video, cheers.

[revolverrambles]

This dude hasn’t noticed anything in his life. Ever.

[timothygarrett]

It’s amazing the type of people to come out of the woodwork, thank you for giving us some insight into a rather unique man

[hobela]

Hey man, I currently have a summer office job and I absolutely love listening to your videos when I’m working.

One of his relatives was my music teacher, Claude Arcand. Claude is a great guy, and a good music teacher, but definitely has interesting family...
