People’s Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier concluded the New Brunswick segment of the Mad Max 2021 Election Tour on Sunday with two events in Moncton.
The Party Leader, accompanied by local PPC candidates, spoke to supporters during a rally in Moncton’s Riverfront Park.
“When tyranny becomes the law, revolution becomes our duty… We are starting a freedom and commonsense revolution”, said Bernier, adding the country will see a “huge purple wave” when Canadians head to the polls on September 20.
He continued to voice his criticism on how the Canadian Government has managed the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Do you want more and more of the same? More lockdowns? More mask mandates? And more vaccine passports?” Bernier asked a crowd of over 100 people.
In an interview after his second event in Moncton, Bernier acknowledged the notion that the PPC platform and policies can be overshadowed by the party’s opinions on the pandemic.
“It is disappointing that the media are not speaking about our platform on immigration, on pipelines, on all the other subjects,” said Bernier.
After not securing a seat in the 2019 Federal Election, the former Tory cabinet minister hopes September 20 will bring more recognition for the PPC party.
“A win is to increase our percentage of the vote and have some candidates elected. We are a new party, and I believe we can achieve that, we can be in Ottawa, and Canadians can be sure they will have a voice there,” Bernier said.
Bernier indicated in a social media post on Sunday, that although he would have liked to travel to other regions in Atlantic Canada, the “despots” that govern Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador are preventing him from visiting.
All three provinces require unvaccinated Canadians travelling from outside Atlantic Canada to self-isolate upon arrival.
He told supporters in Moncton that a trip to Nova Scotia could happen in the days leading up to the election, despite the possibility of being arrested for failing to self-isolate.
