Note to editors: There will be one hell of a mountain to climb if this article will ever see the light of Wikipedia mainspace - see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/J.J. McCullough (3rd nomination) for criticism over article recreation. This individual is also alleged to have created his own autobiography at one stage and has taken it upon himself to criticise Wikipedia in his latest video (see here for more information on that front), which will likely draw more attention to this article from editors wishing to push an agenda one way or another. —QueenofBithynia (talk) 21:32, 22 September 2022 (UTC)Blocked sock.

John James "J.J." McCullough (born July 17, 1984) is a Canadian YouTuber, conservative columnist and writer for The Washington Post.[1][2] Described as an, "unclassifiable journalist,"[3] he is best known for his political and social commentary videos.[4][5][6]
Early life[edit]
McCullough grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia. He is openly gay, and frequently identifies as a middle-class conservative.[7] McCullough graduated from Simon Fraser University where he had been staff cartoonist at The Other Press, a college student newspaper.[8] After finishing school, he was editorial cartoonist for the Western Standard and the Tri-City News.
Career[edit]
McCullough began commentating professionally at Sun News Network, until its abrupt closure in 2015.[4] He also provided on-air political commentary for CTV. After Sun News closed, McCullough purchased a camcorder from Best Buy and began recording videos in his home.
McCullough has over 926,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel, producing videos on a range of subjects, including both Canadian and global politics, as well as history and culture.[9] During a visit to UBC, McCullough asked commentator Ben Shapiro about Native American reservations.[10]
In January 2023, McCullough was criticized as a "bootlicker" for his interview with Conservative party leader Pierre Poilievre.[11]
Views[edit]
McCullough has long been an advocate for the abolition of Canada's constitutional monarchy, and was formerly a spokesperson for Citizens for a Canadian Republic.[12] He is an advocate for the annexation of Canada to the United States.[citation needed] McCullough is also a critic of official bilingualism, and as well as of the Canadian political system.[13][14]
In February 2017, the Quebec Legislature voted to condemn an opinion piece written by McCullough in The Washington Post, which they say insulted the province.[15] McCullough later described the motion as, "preposterous and absurd".[16]
In June 2022, McCullough testified before Canada's Heritage Committee in opposition of Bill C-11.[17] After the bill was enacted, McCullough criticised the decision as, "authoritarian-minded government seeking greater control over independent media for purely ideological purposes".[18]
