In 2018, Maxime Bernier left the Conservative Party to start the People’s Party of Canada (PPC). The party took on that which almost none other would: the Covid lockdowns and mandates, gender identity ideology, climate change hysteria, DEI, authoritarian hate speech laws, and more. The PPC more closely resembles the populist, freedom-oriented option many Canadians are desperate for, in a sea of parties that often feel barely different from one another. Challenging the woke agenda, as well as mass immigration , has predictably led the party to be smeared as “racist” and “far right.” The party has even taken on the sacred cow that is the Canadian health care system , suggesting in its platform that Canada adopt a “mixed private-public” system to deal with the untenable wait times that have become the norm. In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Bernier about about the tariff war, climate change alarmism, what it means to “stand with Ukraine,” why Poilievre appears be leaning into Liberal Light, what the Liberal Party is up to, and more.
