“Over the last year, support for the PPC has skyrocketed,” Bernier said. “We received almost 1 million votes across the country in the last election, but this is only the beginning. Now we need to convert these voters into volunteers and donors to continue to grow the party, and I’m here to do just that.”
Bernier also addressed COVID-19 health restrictions as well as other policies from the federal Liberal party.
While the People’s Party of Canada did not win any seats in the Sept. 20, 2021 federal election, the party received the support of 4.94 per cent of those who voted.
The next federal election is scheduled to be held on or before Oct. 20, 2025.
