Maxime Bernier Quotes

How is it possible that Ms. Galipeau know this already? I think I have the answer. Radio-Canada/CBC will produce the debates, so they’re talking to the Commission, and I presume everybody there already knows that I won’t be invited. And she spilled the beans live on TV, probably unintentionally.
Under the 2021 rules, I would automatically have been invited, because the PPC received almost 5% of the vote in the last election. But it’s obvious that the Commission changed the rules only to exclude us.

If we want conservative principles to win the battle of ideas, we have to defend them openly, with passion and conviction.

I still cannot understand how a party that is supposed to defend free markets supports a small cartel that artificially increases the price of milk, chicken and eggs for millions of Canadian consumers.

Je suis en politique pour défendre des principes. Je l'ai dit dès le début de la campagne, lorsqu'on croit au libre marché, à la liberté économique et qu'on veut défendre les consommateurs, il y a peut-être un prix à payer. Je suis prêt à le payer ce prix politique là.

The Conservative Party tries to avoid important but controversial issues of concern to Conservatives and Canadians in general. It is afraid to articulate any coherent philosophy to support its positions.

Being asked if I will run again for CPC leadership. Zero chance. The party is morally and intellectually corrupt. Scheer was a weak leader who pushed it to the centre. The next leader will do the same. I started a principled conservative alternative. I’m sticking to it.

A lesson from this great novelist: The classical liberal tradition is what made us a free, peaceful and prosperous country. We should cherish it and proudly proclaim the moral high ground when defending this tradition against those who want to impose Big Government upon us.

Racists are not welcome in this party

The level of climate hysteria keeps increasing. Some want a drastic reduction in consumption. Some call for a green fascist dictatorship. Some say we should stop having babies. Where will this madness stop?!

Our immigration policy should not aim to forcibly change the cultural character and social fabric of Canada, as radical proponents of multiculturalism want. Of course, society is transformed by immigration. But this has to be done organically and gradually.
At too high a level, immigration ceases to be a tool to economically benefit Canadians, and it turns instead into a burden. It becomes essentially a big-government policy of social engineering for ideological and electoral purposes.
The vast majority of Canadians rightly expect immigrants to learn about our history and culture, master one of our official languages, and adopt widely shared Canadian values. Instead of spending M$ on multiculturalism programs, we should focus on integration.

Doing identity politics means trying to drum up support by appealing to specific groups on the basis of their ethnicity, religion, language, sexuality or other characteristics, instead of speaking to them as Canadians interested in the wellbeing of our country as a whole.
Identity politics has become pervasive and is being practiced by all political parties trying to buy votes. Political debate has degenerated into a contest between different ways of pandering to specific groups instead of appealing to our common interests.
I have repeatedly stated that I believe identity politics is reductive, divisive and destructive of our social cohesion. I am doing THE OPPOSITE of identity politics by focusing on policy solutions that concern ALL Canadians. And I will continue to do so.

This title is unacceptably misleading, @CTVNews. I did not criticize “diversity” but rather “more diversity,” and “ever more diversity” as Trudeau is proposing with his radical multiculturalism. Canada has always been a diverse country and this is part of who we are. I love this Canada. But there is a difference between recognizing diversity and pushing for ever more of it. Something infinitely diverse has no core identity and ceases to exist.

Big business must employ Canadians 99% of the time. That's why we will drastically cut temporary foreign worker visas. The People's Party will never merge or form an alliance with the Fake Conservatives.
The CPC are only interested in power, and the Cons and the Libs are the same on the major issue of our time, which is mass immigration. A teenager was beheaded in a McDonald's in Calgary by an unhinged criminal who should have never been here.
It's a not a right-wing or left-wing thing to screen people properly so that we can be sure only the right people are coming to Canada. housing supply is not the root cause of the crisis.
The real cause is demand stemming from mass immigration, which we would end with a moratorium.
The federal government is bringing in 100,000 people a month.
Nobody can build enough houses for that level of growth.
Actually, Statistics Canada says that we must build 700,000 houses a year just to keep up with flood of demand — that's impossible.
So, "building more" is not and can never be the solution. What will take years is building more housing.
The only real immediate solution to the rent crisis is a moratorium on immigration.
The kinds of incentives you're suggesting would fall under municipal and provincial jurisdiction.
I just want all of you to remember what it was like in 2020 when immigration was paused, rents were coming down, salaries were going up, and workers were able to negotiate better perks from their employers.
Never forget what Sean Fraser did to you with the support of the Conservatives. Many fake colleges in Brampton and Surrey are connected to the Khalistani movement, and the student program has been used as a Trojan horse to bring many people from Punjab here.
Just look how many colleges are in this single plaza.
On August 31st, this plaza will be the starting point for a car parade in remembrance of a suicide bomber.
What is going on with our country, and what kind of education are people getting at these "colleges"?
Again, we don't hear anything about this from Poilievre.
Both the Liberals and Conservatives say these people are the future of the country. First, we must deport ALL illegals (criminal trespassers).
International students that overstay their visa become illegals just like that guy I spoke with in Charlottetown.
We must have a robust screening and interview process for everyone who immigrates to Canada.
Canada's male-to-female ratio has been severely negatively affected by Trudeau's mass immigration policy.
Second, yes, that's what a real, functional, and pro-Canada immigration policy looks like.
It must be to fulfill the needs of our economy first.
Provinces can also do a much better job of training apprentices rather than relying on mass immigration. They want to import ethnic voting blocs and it is evident.
They pander to a few instead of serving us all.
They want to create an indentured servitude class that serves the asset-owning class, that is permanently distracted by surface issues, while ignoring the economic and cultural war that has been declared on them.

You know, some people like to call me Mad Max like in the movie.
They may believe it’s an insult. But let me tell you something:
It’s true. I am mad!
I’m mad about government waste!
I’m mad about government borrowing money on the backs of future generations, to benefit big corporations!
I’M MAD THAT THE LIBERALS ARE RUNNING OUR COUNTRY’S FINANCES, AND OUR NATION’S FUTURE, INTO THE GROUND!
I’M MAD THAT THE LIBERAL GOVERNMENT SHRINKS OUR PAYCHECK WITH HIGHT TAXES AND TAKES AWAY OUR FREEDOM.
I’m mad about the federal government constantly meddling in provincial jurisdictions!
I’m mad at politicians who promise anything to get elected!
So yes, you can call me Mad Max.
I don’t mind!
I’m asking you to get mad like me and take your future into your hands.
