Four years ago, the People’s Party of Canada was poised to be a thorn in the Conservative Party’s side.
Riding the momentum of its anti-vaccine, anti-lockdown, anti-immigration agenda during the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic, the young party won five per cent of the national vote.
It peeled supporters away from other parties — in particular, a more moderate Conservative Party led by Erin O’Toole — and found new ones who felt disenfranchised by the country’s traditional political system.
It will if the CPC decides fratricide is the way forward.
