PPC leader Maxime Bernier, hot on the heels of a successful leadership review, hopes Albertans will vote in favour of independence — not to break up Canada, but so that serious concessions will be made by Ottawa.
Bernier won the leadership review with 79.1% of the vote, a drop in approval since his 2021 review, where he garnered a staggering 95.6% approval rate. Notably, voter turnout was significantly lower this time — 32.7% compared to a 57% voter participation rate four years ago.
People’s Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier is facing a leadership review following a poor performance in the 2025 federal election.
The PPC garnered less than 1 percent of the national vote with just 141,212 ballots cast. The Conservatives achieved victory in Bernier’s Quebec constituency of Beauce, where the PPC leader secured fourth place with 3,626 votes, representing 5.8 percent of the total support.
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.
It’s hard to overstate how dystopian and threatening Canada has become. An update from longtime Canadian government official Maxime Bernier.

Canada’s Leaders’ Debates Commission has introduced new criteria for participation in the upcoming federal election debates, a move that may exclude Maxime Bernier, leader of the People’s Party of Canada (PPC).
In the last election, parties needed to meet just one of three criteria to qualify for debates — having at least one MP, achieving 4% of the national vote in the prior election, or showing 4% support in polls at the campaign’s onset. The PPC, despite scoring 4.9% on election day, was sidelined based on polls that allegedly underrepresented their support.
Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives want to ‘destroy’ this rival — and what else you need to know about Monday’s federal byelections
OTTAWA—At the tail-end of a combative parliamentary session comes four chances to gauge the mood of the Canadian electorate: on Monday, voters in a quartet of federal ridings will cast ballots in byelections to fill vacant seats in the House of Commons.
What might the results tell us, after months in which concerns about Chinese government meddling and increasing costs dominated the political debate before the House is set to rise this month? Each riding has its own dynamic at play, from a battle with the far-right in the Conservative heartland to questions about Liberal enthusiasms in previously rock-solid red regions.
I wish Bernier well.
A vote for Maxime Bernier is a vote for Justin Trudeau, says Canada’s Conservative Party leader.
Speaking to the media in Winnipeg on Friday, Pierre Poilievre weighed in on two federal byelections set to take place in the province later this month — taking aim at People’s Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier, one of five candidates vying to win a recently vacated seat in the south Manitoba riding of Portage-Lisgar.

OTTAWA – Pierre Poilievre is off to Manitoba to rally Conservative supporters ahead of a byelection that Maxime Bernier is hoping will send him back to Parliament.
The far-right People’s Party of Canada leader lost his Quebec seat in the 2019 federal vote and lost again in the 2021 election.
“Far Right” “Social Conservative” Scared!
Just days after announcing he would run for a federal seat in a rural Manitoba riding, Maxime Bernier said one of the first things he will do if elected to Parliament is “reopen the debate” on abortion laws in Canada to ban abortions for pregnancies beyond 24 weeks.
OTTAWA – Maxime Bernier says he’s ready to “fight” to become the first member of Parliament for the People’s Party of Canada, and has already thrown some punches by accusing the Conservative Party led by Pierre Poilievre of steering “to the left” to please voters.
Leader of the People’s Party of Canada Maxime Bernier said the Conservative Party of Canada is “infiltrated” by the “woke far left,” after blasting the party’s President for using so-called “trans-inclusive” pronouns in his Twitter bio.
“This woke guy with pronouns in his bio is the president of the Conservative Party of Canada. Still wondering why I left this morally and intellectually corrupt party?,” tweeted Bernier yesterday.
The president of the CPC Rob Batherson’s Twitter bio reads, “Business person, community volunteer, husband, father, son (he/him).”
Well that’s settles it not voting the CPC next election.
People’s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier says his party is unafraid to bring the abortion debate front and centre in Canadian politics.
In an email to supporters, Bernier points out that Canada has no legal restriction on abortion and said members of parliament shouldn’t shy away from addressing this.
Maxime Bernier believes Tamara Lich is a “political prisoner,” and that the Liberal regime is treating her like a dissident in an authoritarian state. Bernier states that he will “continue to support this courageous woman.”
Nanos Research numbers show a continuing rise in support for the People’s Party of Canada — a trend that began in the summer before the 2021 federal election.
On the latest episode of Trend Line, Nanos Research’s Nik Nanos said that the percentage of Canadians polled who would consider voting for the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) usually sits at around 10 per cent. But as of Feb. 16, that number has gone up to 16 per cent, which Nanos calls a “material increase.”
The PPC is a better bet than the atrophied mainstream parties.
A press conference was held at the Marriott Hotel not only by Maxime Bernier, but also by scientists, doctors, truckers, and others who joined to shed light on the current situation.
I had time to ask Maxime Bernier a few questions. It was nice to see that not only the mainstream media were present, but also independent journalists, which created a certain debate in the place.
