Main Text (Interview)
Interviewer: Scott Douglas Jacobsen
Interviewee: Hon. Maxime Bernier
Section 1: Founding of the People’s Party of Canada (PPC)
Scott Douglas Jacobsen: Today, we are here with the Honorable Maxime Bernier. He is the leader of the People’s Party of Canada, founded in 2018 after resigning from the Conservative Party. Mr. Bernier holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the Université du Québec à Montréal and a law degree from the University of Ottawa. He was called to the Quebec Bar in 1990 before entering politics. Additionally, he served as Vice President of the Montreal Economic Institute in 2005, previously working for various financial and banking institutions. He has had a diverse political career, including roles as a Member of Parliament and Cabinet Minister.
We could expand on those details in the biography, but today, we are here to discuss facts, figures, and policies. To begin with, as an overview, what is the overarching vision or philosophical stance that unites all the platforms under one umbrella?
Maxime Bernier: As you mentioned, the answer to that question begins with creating the People’s Party of Canada in 2018. Our platform was based on the principles I emphasized during the Conservative Party of Canada leadership contest. The People’s Party of Canada is founded on four key principles: individual freedom, personal responsibility, fairness, and respect.
Section 2: Core Principles and Political Approach
Bernier: All our policies align with these principles. It is important to understand that we approach politics differently. This is not an empty slogan; it is our reality. We do not conduct polling or hold focus groups. Instead, we have a clear vision for Canada rooted in these principles and articulate our policies during every election. We do not shift our stance to follow trends or polling data. Our goal is to promote our ideas consistently. The more we share them, the more support we will gain. Theist media and establishment politicians have misled the Canadian public, and we aim to counter that by speaking directly to the people about facts and policies that can genuinely improve the country.
The People’s Party was established in 2018, participated in its first election in 2019, and contested its most recent election in 2021, receiving approximately 5% of the popular vote. The next general election in Canada is scheduled for 2025, likely in October.
Section 3: Importance of Vision and Consistency in Politics
Jacobsen: What is the most important aspect of your approach to politics?
Bernier: For me, the most important aspect of politics is having a vision, clearly explaining it, and communicating it to Canadians rather than trying to appease everyone daily. Many people perceive politicians as inconsistent—saying one thing today to gain approval and something entirely different tomorrow. For us, coherence, consistency, and credibility are paramount. Since founding the party in 2018, we have maintained the same principles, strengthening our credibility. People know we are serious about what we say, and time is on our side.
To illustrate, I will share an anecdote about COVID-19. When we began advocating for individual freedom and freedom of choice during the pandemic, it was initially unpopular because most Canadians had been influenced by fear and government propaganda. At the time, most of the population supported strict lockdown measures and other mandates. No one—at either the provincial or federal levels—spoke for freedom during the pandemic.
Nobody in Parliament was advocating for freedom at either the provincial or federal levels. I was the only one at the national level. Individual freedom has always been a part of our DNA as a party. Now, many people understand that the measures implemented in 2020 and 2021 were wrong. The vaccine was not as safe or effective as claimed. Everything we said—that lockdowns were not helpful and harmed students and young children—turned out to be correct. At the time, however, we were dismissed as crazy.
That’s what the People’s Party of Canada represents. I share this because I want people to know that we focus on policies and aim to grow our support. It’s a winning formula—our vote share increased from 1.6% to 5%. Perhaps at the next election, we will double that. We’ll see. It’s a long-term vision.
Section 4: Foreign Policy Stance and Non-Interventionism
Jacobsen: Regarding foreign policy, you’ve emphasized security and prosperity for Canadians, non-interventionism, and reduced involvement in international conflicts unless they directly benefit Canadian interests. Could you elaborate on those positions?
Bernier: In Canada today, that’s why we have taken a strong position against the war in Ukraine—the proxy war between the U.S. and Russia. We’ve said that Russia is not our enemy and that Putin does not aim to conquer Europe. From the beginning of the conflict, we advocated for peace and negotiations. We were the only national political party doing so. Meanwhile, both Trudeau and Poilievre pushed for more financial aid to Ukraine. Canada has already provided approximately $15 billion, and we oppose that.
I’m pleased President Trump stated during his campaign that he would ensure peace in Ukraine. This reflects our non-interventionist stance. The same principle applies to the Middle East. Canada cannot change the situation; the U.S. holds all the influence. We see no role for Canada in interfering in that region.
Our foreign policy on peace resembles Jean Chrétien’s approach during the Iraq War. He chose not to participate in that war, affirming Canada’s independence. We can maintain a friendship with the U.S. while holding a different position, just as Chrétien did.
Section 5: Historical Perspective on Peace and Foreign Aid
Jacobsen: How do you view Canada’s history in terms of promoting peace and foreign aid?
Bernier: Historically, Canada has promoted peace, negotiations, and peacekeeping. That was the best approach then, and we should return to it. This philosophy also informs our stance on foreign aid. We want to end sending over $10 billion annually to other countries for projects like building roads in Africa or funding development banks owned by China. That is not Canada’s role.
Canada should, however, provide support during natural disasters or humanitarian crises. In those cases, we can and should step up. But our resources should primarily serve Canadians. Yes, we will be there, but not to support socialist projects promoted by the United Nations. You’ve emphasized putting Canada and our national interests first.
Section 6: Financial Policies and Reducing Government Spending
Jacobsen: Regarding financial policies, you mentioned $15 billion sent to Ukraine to support that war and $10 billion annually for foreign aid. Combining these two items represents a $25 billion expenditure in a single year. Considering Canada’s growing debt and inflation, many Canadians across the political spectrum are concerned about rising costs, taxes, and the affordability of goods and services. What are your public finance policies, particularly regarding reducing government spending and eliminating corporate welfare?
Bernier: By eliminating corporate welfare, which includes all federal subsidies to large corporations, we can save an additional $10 billion annually. This practice is fundamentally unfair. Small businesses, like mom-and-pop shops in Vancouver, cannot afford to hire lobbyists to secure subsidies in Ottawa, yet they pay taxes to fund these handouts. A better policy would be implementing a flat 10% business tax without subsidies for big corporations. This would not only save money but also create a level playing field.
Our goal is to balance the budget in the first year. Unlike Poilievre, who discusses addressing the budget without providing clear details, we are prepared to make the necessary cuts. Canada’s current deficit is approximately $60 billion, and the solution lies in creating a smaller federal government that respects provincial jurisdictions and refrains from interference.
We can cut foreign aid, eliminate subsidies to the mainstream media, and reduce unnecessary spending. For instance, the CBC receives $1.2 billion annually, while other media outlets like CTV and Radio-Canada also benefit from federal subsidies. By removing these subsidies, we could save $2 billion. Media outlets need to be truly independent and not reliant on government funding.
Balancing the budget is critical because failing to do so fuels inflation. Under Trudeau, Canada’s debt has doubled in just nine years—an amount that previously took 148 years to accumulate. While some claim that future generations will bear the burden, the reality is that we are paying for it now through the inflation tax. The Bank of Canada has been printing money out of thin air to finance this deficit, leading to inflation. When more money chases fewer goods, prices rise.
The government claims inflation is at 2%, but Canadians know it is closer to 5% or 6%. The only way to address this is by balancing the budget and setting a zero-inflation target. We are the only national political party discussing real solutions to inflation. Once we achieve a balanced budget, we can lower taxes, put more money back into Canadians’ pockets, and restore purchasing power, which is currently declining.
Our standard of living is declining. While the economy is growing due to mass immigration, the population growth appears to outpace the economic growth. The economy is growing, but with more people than economic growth can sustain, the result is that the economic “pie” grows, but individual slices become smaller. This means the GDP per capita is low. Over the past decade, we have not seen an increase in our standard of living. On the contrary, it has declined. This is one reason why Trudeau and the Liberals are unpopular today.
Even if the Liberals elect a new leader, I do not believe they can effectively address this issue. It is time for Canadians to vote for their values. If they want real change in this country, the People’s Party is the only alternative.
Section 7: Housing Affordability and Immigration
Jacobsen: According to population surveys, housing affordability is another pressing issue that concerns Canadians. Rising housing costs, whether rental or ownership through mortgages, make it challenging for newcomers and Canadians with long-standing roots to establish themselves. How does the PPC propose to address this issue, particularly regarding restrictive zoning regulations and high immigration levels?
Bernier: Our position on housing affordability differs from that of the Liberals and the Conservatives under Pierre Poilievre. Both of those parties focus on building more housing. Poilievre’s solution is to promote high-rise developments in big cities, allowing more people to live in apartments. While this may provide some relief, I do not want Canada or cities like Toronto to resemble Hong Kong.
For me, the Canadian dream involves owning a house with a nice backyard. Over the past decade, we have built an average of 250,000 houses per year, but Statistics Canada estimates that we need over 700,000 houses annually to meet the demand caused by mass immigration.
The only viable solution at the federal level is to stop mass immigration. This is fundamentally a question of supply and demand. We cannot solve this issue on the supply side because building 700,000 houses per year is not feasible. Moreover, zoning decisions in large cities fall under provincial and municipal jurisdiction.
Poilievre has suggested overriding local decision-making, forcing cities to build more high-rises. This approach disrespects the choices of taxpayers and local governments, such as those in Toronto who elected their mayor. The PPC, however, respects provincial and municipal jurisdictions and does not support federal interference in zoning policies.
The real solution is to address the demand side by implementing a moratorium on immigration. Reducing the number of people entering the country can alleviate the housing crisis and make homeownership more attainable for Canadians.
Mass immigration impacts more than just housing. It affects our standard of living, our society’s cultural character, and our country’s social fabric. For example, last year alone, 1.2 million people immigrated to Canada—a significant number for a country of 40 million. Immigration accounted for 100% of our population growth last year. This increase didn’t come from Canadians having more children but from immigration.
We need to address this issue directly. With mass immigration, we are essentially telling newcomers they are welcome to maintain their culture, and the federal government even subsidizes cultural celebrations. For example, if someone from China wants to celebrate the Chinese New Year, the federal government provides subsidies. I have nothing against the Chinese New Year, but if people want to celebrate it, they should fund it themselves. Taxpayer money should not be used for this. Instead, the federal government should promote Canadian culture, history, and heritage.
By promoting multiculturalism, we’ve created ghettos in our country where people don’t learn English or French and struggle to integrate into society. This segregation leads to a lack of cohesion. The economic impact is also significant. Mass immigration places strain on healthcare services. Many newcomers require healthcare, yet our system is inefficient, with long waiting lists for surgeries. Adding more people to the system without increasing capacity is a recipe for disaster.
The solution is clear: we need a moratorium on immigration. This approach addresses not only the housing crisis but also the healthcare crisis and societal challenges. Our position is to prioritize Canadians and their prosperity rather than focusing on foreigners.
Section 8: Immigration vs. Carbon Tax in Upcoming Elections
Jacobsen: Immigration will likely be a major topic in the next election. How do you see it playing out compared to other issues, like the carbon tax?
Bernier: Immigration will be a significant issue in the next election. Poilievre, for example, wants the election to focus on the carbon tax, but that doesn’t address the most pressing issues. The house is on fire, and he’s talking about a tax. We need real solutions, and immigration is central to that.
Polls show that over 60% of Canadians support ending mass immigration, but Poilievre won’t discuss it. He panders to ethnic communities, trying to gain their support for more seats in Parliament. Every weekend, he puts on a new costume and panders to another group. I don’t do that. I work for Canadians first. My goal is for our people to prosper and for immigration to serve the national interest.
Immigration must be a critical topic in the next election. It affects housing, healthcare, and the overall well-being of Canadians. We need an election focused on real solutions, and I believe this will resonate with most Canadians who want to end mass immigration.
Mass immigration is under federal control, and we have the power to address it. If we look at other Western countries like the UK, France, and Germany, mass immigration has a destructive impact on their societies. Some areas have “no-go zones” where it’s unsafe. We must act now to prevent Canada from going down the same path.
We started this discussion on mass immigration six years ago, in 2019. We advocated for fewer immigrants at that time, and now the negative impacts are undeniable. Our position remains firm: we need a moratorium on immigration. That is our strong and clear position.
Section 9: Addressing Other Contentious Issues: Gender and Climate Change
Jacobsen: Immigration is one of several contentious issues. Other hot-button topics include gender and climate change policies. Given our limited time, can you summarize your positions in these areas?
Bernier: Absolutely. On gender, our position is straightforward: there are only two sexes. A child is never born in the wrong body. Policies promoting gender transitioning, especially for children, must end. A boy cannot become a girl, and a girl cannot become a boy. The establishment parties—including Poilievre’s Conservatives—voted for Bill C-4, which facilitates what we see as the mutilation of children. Our stance aligns with Donald Trump’s in the United States: gender ideology is damaging our society and families. We must promote parental rights and end the funding of “woke” ideas by the federal government. We are also clear that men should not compete in women’s sports or be housed in women’s jails. Common sense must prevail.
Our approach to climate change is equally clear. We will withdraw from the Paris Accord, as Trump did during his presidency. There is no climate emergency. Both Trudeau and Poilievre are committed to the Paris Accord, and while Poilievre opposes the carbon tax, he will likely impose additional regulations or taxes to meet the Accord’s targets. This is unnecessary spending on a non-emergency.
For us, climate has always changed and will continue to do so. CO₂ is not a pollutant—it’s a gas essential for life and food for plants. The hysteria around climate change is unwarranted, and we refuse to waste taxpayer money on it.
We need to stop all these crazy policies on climate change. More and more people realize that the narrative attributing all climate change to human activities oversimplifies a complex issue. Climate change is not an emergency. Unlike establishment politicians, we will withdraw from the Paris Accord.
Section 10: Clarifying the Concept of Gender
Jacobsen: A common question people raise in this context concerns gender. Given your stance on the existence of only two sexes, how do you address the concept of gender?
Bernier: They use the term “gender” to avoid saying “sex,” but for me, it’s clear: there are only two sexes, and there are only two genders. Gender is not determined by personality or what someone thinks they are. This ideology has infiltrated every level of society, from government to private corporations. I encountered this when I testified in court in Manitoba, and the judge asked me for my gender. My response was straightforward: “Can you not see that I’m a male?” This woke ideology has even reached corporations, but we’re starting to see pushback—companies like Disney and Bud Light are learning that “go woke, go broke” is real.
Section 11: Policies on Green Technology and Resource Development
Jacobsen: How do these positions extend into your policies on green technology, subsidies, and resource development?
Bernier: Our position is clear: we will not provide subsidies to the green industry or promote it in any way. We will repeal Trudeau’s restrictive legislation for the oil and gas industry to ensure Canada can fully utilize its natural resources. Unlike the Liberals and Conservatives, we oppose using taxpayer money to fund corporate ventures. For example, the federal government gave over $10 billion to a single company to build batteries in Ontario, and Poilievre said nothing. This is unacceptable. No subsidies for the green industry—that’s our stance.
Section 12: Self-Defence and Criminal Code Amendments
Jacobsen: Before we wrap up, I have one more topic: self-defence. Do you support amendments allowing Canadians to possess and carry items like pepper spray for self-defence? How do you see this empowering individual?
Bernier: I believe allowing women to carry pepper spray, as they can in other countries, would provide an additional layer of protection. It’s not the ultimate solution to violent crime but can help. To truly address violent crime, we need to reinstate mandatory minimum sentences for serious offences like murder. When I was a Conservative, the Harper government passed legislation to toughen penalties, but the Supreme Court deemed it unconstitutional. The way forward is to reintroduce similar legislation in Parliament and make it resilient to judicial challenges.
That’s the solution. We must be tough on crime. We also propose changes to the Criminal Code regarding self-defence. Currently, in Canada, there are cases where someone defending themselves or their property with a firearm has been charged under the Criminal Code. These individuals were using firearms to protect themselves and their property.
We propose amending the Criminal Code to protect the right to self-defence. This would ensure that individuals acting in self-defence are not penalized.
Section 13: Interactions with Other Politicians
Jacobsen: One last question. You’ve mentioned Poilievre and Trudeau several times in this interview. On a more personal note, given that you all must do interviews, campaigns, and public events, do you interact with each other at these events? Do you generally get along on a personal level despite vigorous disagreements on policies?
Bernier: I know Pierre Poilievre. As you mentioned earlier, we both served in the Harper government. He’s a good guy and a very effective communicator. He relies heavily on anti-establishment slogans, which resonate because people are so fed up with the Liberals. It’s an effective strategy for him to position himself as the next prime minister.
Trudeau, on the other hand, is a different story. For him, it’s all about himself. I don’t have any contact with Trudeau or Poilievre at the moment. However, I expect to meet them during the national debates on TV, where I will participate alongside Poilievre and the new leader of the Liberal Party of Canada.
Before these debates, all the politicians gather in a green room for about half an hour. Generally, everyone is polite and civil, but our battles are about ideas. That’s why I’m in politics—to fight for ideas. I believe my vision for this country is the best. Others, like Trudeau and Poilievre, likely believe the same about their visions. Let’s have a debate and let Canadians decide after a meaningful discussion.
However, I do hope the next debates will be more productive. National debates can often be disappointing. We’ll have a strong moderator, and debates will help Canadians make informed decisions before choosing their next prime minister.
Section 14: Closing Remarks
Jacobsen: Excellent. Mr. Bernier, thank you very much for your time today. I appreciate it.
Bernier: Thank you for giving me this opportunity. If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to contact me or my team. It’s been a pleasure to join you today. Thank you for the invitation.
Jacobsen: Take care. Nice to meet you.
Bernier: Bye-bye.
Jacobsen: Bye-bye.
Discussion
This interview with the Honorable Maxime Bernier, leader of the People’s Party of Canada (PPC), offers a detailed exploration of his foundational principles and policy priorities. Established in 2018 following Mr. Bernier’s departure from the Conservative Party of Canada, the PPC anchors its platform in four key principles: individual freedom, personal responsibility, fairness, and respect. Throughout the conversation, Mr. Bernier emphasizes the importance of consistency and coherence in political life—defining a clear vision, maintaining it over time, and communicating it directly to Canadians.
He outlines the PPC’s stance on several domestic and foreign policy issues. Domestically, Mr. Bernier advocates for significant reductions in government spending—eliminating corporate welfare, media subsidies, and foreign aid expenditures—to balance the budget and combat inflation. He challenges the rising cost of housing by calling for a “moratorium” on what he terms “mass immigration,” linking immigration levels directly to housing affordability. He further addresses government overreach in areas such as climate change policies and gender ideology, maintaining that Canada should withdraw from international climate agreements, repeal Bill C-4 related to gender transitioning for minors, and bolster self-defence rights within the Criminal Code.
In terms of foreign policy, Mr. Bernier supports a non-interventionist approach, drawing parallels to Jean Chrétien’s decision not to join the Iraq War. He criticizes Canada’s financial support for Ukraine and emphasizes that Canada should only intervene abroad under narrowly defined circumstances that serve national interests. Moreover, he proposes scaling back foreign aid in favor of focusing on natural disaster relief and other pressing humanitarian emergencies.
Finally, Mr. Bernier contrasts his positions with those of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre. He expresses personal respect for Mr. Poilievre as a capable communicator but contends that neither Mr. Trudeau nor Mr. Poilievre offers substantive solutions to issues like rising inflation, mass immigration, and erosion of personal freedoms. Mr. Bernier views the next federal election—tentatively scheduled for 2025—as an opportunity for Canadians to debate and decide on the policies that best serve the country’s future.

Today is the greatest achievement in my life!
My first day of paid work in 12 years, 8 months, and 7 days. It's taken 9 years of hard work to get to this point, and to be honest, I don't think a lot of people believed in what I was doing until I started studying in 2022. I was screwed and going nowhere in 2015, I had 9 specialist doctors at that point. I was constantly thinking up ways of how to get out of that situation, and the only idea I could think of was to work on my fitness.
Now, I'm here in my very own office on my first day as the Health & Wellness Officer for McHarry's Buslines in Geelong.
Thank you so much to the people who did support me getting here. I couldn't have done it without your help. And thank you to the people who messaged me encouragement along the way. I'm so grateful.

This might look like just a piece of paper with instructions written by a GP to most. But for me, this was the written instruction for the very first action that turned my life around. From late 2014, when this was written, I've gone from fat, sick, & nearly dead to being on the verge of something very big.
It takes many actions to turn your life around, and learning a lot of new habits. It's not just exercise that got me to this point, but also eating, daily planning, and preparation. If you need help turning your life around & building habits, feel free to DM or email me at office@fitnesssavant.com.au

These #Freedom-loving advocates of #personalResponsibility show their true colors when asked to exist in public with people who make the #personalChoice to wear a mask when in crowded environments. They're liars who don't actually care about living according to the principles they advocate on social media. They're #fascists, and they want to dictate exactly how everyone else must live.

Last time I wrote, “God Almighty, please don’t give us the leader Nigerians rightfully deserve .…
The question we must answer is, “Do Nigerians deserve the Peter Obis and the Baba Ahmed Dattis of this dispensation?”
Aren’t we more than deserving of the heisters who are perpetually grasshopering our famished land?
Am I a brutal idiot, a tribal warlord, or a citizen dedicated to nation-building?
The answers we get, from you and me, will determine how long Nigeria keeps skirting the precipice.
The fortunes and the future (or no future) of Nigeria depend on the cumulative answers Nigerians give to that question.
Sooner than later, the future arrives with all the choices we are making or refusing to make now.

Last minute change of plans for today. Not at Premier Speedway, Warrnambool for the 360 Sprintcars. Getting things ready to take the van to Warrnambool tomorrow as per our original plans. I've been suffering serious fatigue issues since I had covid last year on top of Fibromyalgia, ADHD, ASD, & and breathing issues with my nose, which I'm having surgery on in the near future.. Going to the gym on a lot of days or travelling to the Speedway is the only thing I can mentally do for that day as I'm so mentally fatigued. I live off of ADHD meds and Musashi Energy drink in recent times. I have a positive outlook on things, and I'm confident that my gym program is gradually pulling me out of this situation. My body feels quite good... anyway, I'm just nicking to the bottle recycling place to get some extra holiday money. Let's go!
