10 people from Canadian history you should know
J.J. McCullough, who describes what he makes simply as culture videos, spent ten days ago doing something close to homework: "10 people from Canadian history you should know," a look at the figures Canadians are expected to learn about in school. It has passed 136,000 views and is still the channel's busiest video, far ahead of September's Canadian politics update and his rebuttal of a Simpsons meme about middle-class life in the 1990s.
The one new upload went the other way, from history to the news. On "Lib & Learn" J.J. sat down with Emily Jashinsky, a Breaking Points host who made her name at The Federalist, to talk midterms, propaganda and more. Much of the comment section is about the moments he pushed back on her, especially when The Bulwark and Liz Cheney came up. A few viewers say they never expected to see the two of them together, and one jokes that the J.J. cinematic universe keeps expanding.
Overall it was a slower week than usual, and among the political commentators nearest his size, the channel gathered the fewest views; Heather Cox Richardson had the big week. The subscriber count sat still at 998,000, a couple of thousand short of a round million.
