People’s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier plans to run in an upcoming byelection for a federal seat in Portage-Lisgar, Manitoba, the same riding as former interim Conservative leader Candice Bergen.
Martin Masse, a spokesperson for the PPC, told The Epoch Times on May 11 that there is “a strong possibility” that Bernier will run in the Portage-Lisgar byelection and that the party will make an official announcement tomorrow. Masse noted the riding is where the PPC received its best score in the 2021 election at 22 percent of the vote, and is also where the largest rally of the campaign was held.
