America Strikes Back!!!…featuring a Canadian
McInnes actually earned American citizenship within the last few years.
I remember an episode of GOML a few years back where he talked about it being official, where he talked about how he purposely kept his application process private because he worried his enemies would try to intervene.
I believe he still has brother in Canada because I recall him returning home for a bachelor party or wedding last year for the first time in a long time. I was mildly surprised he posted about it publicly and he made the trip unscathed as Trudeau was in power at the time and personally made The Proud Boys a terrorist organization by legislation not that long ago.
His parents used to live in Canada as well, but now he talks about going to visit them in Florida. Not sure if they've emigrated completely or are just snowbirds.
If you listen to McInnes for any length of time, he likes to reminisce about his days founding Vice in Montreal in the 90s, but otherwise stopped considering himself Canadian when he moved to NYC to continue with his hipster magazine.
He did go back to Canada AFAIK to work for Rebel News / Ezra Levant in between being pushed out of Vice & his own marketing agency and founding Censored.tv like Cumia and Compound.
Gavin was actually at Rebel News during Lauren Southern's time there, because she has a #MeToo allegation against her that he offered her clout to sleep with him while he was already married to his Squaw wife.
McInnes though definitely identifies more with his distant Scottish ethnicity than his much more substantive formative years in Canada. IIRC, he was born in England but immigrated to Canada almost immediately. His very Scottish father was some sort of computer guy.
