People’s Party leader says he’ll hit pause on immigration
Maxime Bernier and the People’s Party of Canada are launching their official campaign today, too, from Saint-Georges, Que.
Bernier has described his party — which came out in strong opposition to COVID-19 lockdowns, and has called for immigration cuts — as the populist alternative to Canada’s “globalist” major parties.
Speaking in French, Bernier said the four major pillars of the PPC’s platform will be the following: a pause on immigration; an end to “woke” policies, specifically those related to trans people and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives; boosting the economy by cutting spending; and implementing what he called “pro-Canada” policies related to national security and immigration.
“Our country is broken,” he said.
Bernier received almost five per cent of the national vote during the 2021 federal election. He’s been accused of courting far-right support, but has said that white supremacists and extremists aren’t welcome in the party.
Last week, Bernier was interviewed by InfoWars founder and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
