Maxime Bernier announces run in federal by-election, denounces ‘sick vision’ of the ‘Woke Cult’

The People’s Party of Canada leader is running in the federal riding where former Conservative Party of Canada leader Candice Bergen was MP for years until she resigned last year.
(LifeSiteNews) — People’s Party of Canada (PPC) leader Maxime Bernier is hoping to soon become an MP again after announcing he will run in an upcoming by-election, promising to fight for traditional family values against a society “overtaken by evil,” including “transgender madness.”
“Radical cultural Marxists have seized control of our educational system, the mainstream media, and governments. They push a program of anti-life, anti-family, and anti-Canadian values. Gender ideology and the trans movement are promoting confusion and the mutilation of children,” Bernier said before a crowd of supporters in Portage la Prairie last Friday.
“The Woke Cult is demolishing the traditional pillars of our society and aims to establish a twisted and profoundly sick vision of the future. They are moving at a startling pace.”
In comments sent to LifeSiteNews, Bernier noted that he chose to run to prevent another “fake” conservative MP from Pierre Poilievre’s party from winning the riding.
“Our opponents won’t be able to use their usual lame argument that we are ‘splitting the vote’ and helping elect Trudeau here, because the result won’t make any difference on the status of parties in the House of Commons,” Bernier said.
“The choice is only between sending another fake conservative to parrot his (Poilievre) party’s line on mass immigration, the war in Ukraine, transitioning kids, abortion, and climate alarmism, or sending someone who will give a voice to Canadians who are not represented in our Parliament, will rock the boat, and force the establishment parties to debate issues they don’t want to touch. I’m looking forward to it.”
