Max Bernier's People's Party of Canada (PPC) is here to stay, so reports Jeff Besos's, Washington Post.
The PPC was created by Bernier, so WaPo sourly reports, in an act of spite after his failure to win the leadership of the Conservative Party, a claim as daft as saying that Winston Churchill, before becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain, took against Hitler in an act of spite against Conservative Party leader Stanley Baldwin who refused him a place in cabinet.
In fact, Bernier created the People's Party because he could.
The Conservative Party of Canada is not a conservative party but a bullshit, seize-the-middle-ground, alternative to the tax and spend liberals. Thus the Conservative Party of Canada is wide open to replacement--as was the Progressive Conservative Party it replaced--by a real conservative party.
Bernier has seized that opportunity to present a real conservative alternative to the collection of Tax-and-spend-while-we-forcibly-jab-you Liberals, Liberal-look-alike Conservatives, the Government Employees Union New Democratic Party, and the jet-setting-to yet-another-climate-warming-conference Greens for the abolition of Alberta.
Thus Bernier has achieved standing by providing the only political mechanism that Canadians have to resist the slide to Chinese-Communist-style round the clock surveillance and control by means of vaccine passport being delivered now by the Justin I've-never-seen-a-dictatorship-I-didn't-love Trudeau with the full support not only of the NDP, but the foolish O'Toole-led Conservative Party.
Now the question of interest concerning the PPC is not whether they are here to stay but whether they boost their 1.6% share of the vote at the last election by a factor of four or five—as the polls currently suggest, or make a last minute surge into double digits. For conservatives that means a vote for the Conservative Party is a wasted vote.

This was my first post on Gab, for any Gab user who might want to pass it on.
