People's Party Rally: Victoria, British Columbia, June 19, 2021
Attended a People’s Party rally here in Victoria, British Columbia. The People’s Party is the creation of Maxime Bernier, a charismatic Québec politician and former Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The party’s focus has been against mass immigration (currently equal to more than 1% of population per year to a country with a far below replacement fertility rate, thus amounting to population replacement).
The warm-up speakers focused on national pride, “freedom,” evil globalists, and Canada's needlessly repressive response to Covid.
The crowd of several hundred looked like a Trump crowd and was loudly responsive to the theme of the speakers.
Will this movement ultimately amount to anything?
Not in sleepy government-town, big-university-town Victoria. But in Calgary, Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Toronto, maybe.
Still, we're probably a way away from seeing Justin, I-love-China’s-Communist-dictatorship, Trudeau impeached.
However, when the impact of Canada's 2020-2021 Federal Government Deficit of $468 billion, or $50,000 per family of four, begins to impact tax rates and food prices, the picture could change quickly.
