I voted for Bernier's party in the 2019 election. He got 2% of the national vote and zero representatives in Parliament. This was Bernier's first election as leader of the People's Party of Canada (PPC). Whereas conservative voters are centralized within Canada's Conservative Party, left-wing voters are split between Liberal Party, NDP, and Green. Conservatives are worried that introduction of PPC will split the conservative vote and lose the advantage of having a consolidated right-wing voting bloc. However, I believe it is completely necessary as Bernier is the only right-wing populist in Canada right now. The mainstream Conservative Party bickers about financial policy while ignoring the radical socialist ideology sweeping Canada right now (Social Marxism, etc). I expect the PPC to grow over time, just as the Green Party did when they first started ~35 years ago.
