Canadian Politician Shared Pro-crypto Stance With Federal Election Nears

By Natalie Wu | September 19, 2021

Maxime Bernier, the founder, and leader of the People’s Party of Canada has reportedly thrown his weight behind the adoption of cryptocurrencies across the nation. 

Specifically, via a Twitter post on September 14th, Bernier reportedly regarded crypto as “another new and innovative way” to fight against the initiatives from central banks, which he believes to be ruining the “money and economy” in Canada. 

The Canadian politician reportedly expressed his criticism towards the Bank of Canada for “printing money”, as well as calling out Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for his economic policies.

The comments generated by the politician reportedly surfaced prior to a Canadian federal election, slated to commence on September 20th, with the People’s Party not having any seats in the national parliament at the moment. 

Regardless of how numerous right-leaning politicians across the globe have reportedly adopted a crypto-friendly attitude as part of their campaigns or policies upon taking office, the role of Bitcoin (BTC) and crypto is seemingly not a one-party concern. 

Canada has reportedly been at the forefront of a variety of projects across the crypto sphere. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin is Russian-Canadian, and investments entities have gone through no troubles introducing crypto exchange-traded funds, whereas the lawmakers in America are still in the discussing stage regarding the investment vehicle.

Nonetheless, a significant number of legislators, including Trudeau, have not made any remarks regarding the potential role of cryptocurrencies in the Canadian economy scene.
