Bernier is hoping to turn the roughly 22% of support his People’s Party of Canada saw during the 2021 federal election into his ticket to regaining a seat in the House of Commons
Polls have closed in four by-elections, including in a southern Manitoba riding that pits Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives against Maxime Bernier’s People’s Party of Canada.
The Conservatives hope to stamp out Bernier’s support, which spooked many of its Western MPs and other party supporters who saw their support bleed to a more right-wing party. The closest thing to a nail-biter will likely occur in Oxford, a mostly rural riding in southern Ontario that has been a Conservative stronghold for nearly 20 years.
He alleged that Poilievre and House Leader Andrew Scheer meddled in their local association by influencing the nomination process and taking away grassroots power. Poilievre himself held a rally in Winkler several weeks ago and revived anti-World Economic Forum slogans, taking aim at Bernier’s participation in that event when he was foreign affairs minister under Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper.
