Conservative leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre has been running on a pledge to give more freedoms back to Canadians – a message similar to what the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) and Maxime Bernier have been pushing since the pandemic began.
Should Poilievre become the Conservative’s next leader, will he pose a threat to the PPC?
Bernier doesn’t think so. In an interview with True North’s Elie Cantin-Nantel, Bernier says the prospect of a Conservative Party led by Poilievre does not put the fate of the PPC at risk.
“Pierre Poilievre is a career politician, he was elected for the first time at 24 years-old, he never had a real boss. And also, he’s an opportunist politician,” Bernier said.
