Tonight, on The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra is joined by People's Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier for a special in-depth discussion ahead of Canada's next election.

Joining from the campaign trail in Quebec, Bernier was the first federal leader to respond a request for an interview on RebelNews+.

In this feature interview, the People's Party leader addresses how many candidates the PPC will be running across the country and how the party's fundraising is going ahead of this pivotal election.

Bernier also expands on why voters should choose his party over others, particularly its biggest competitor, the Conservative Party of Canada. He criticized Pierre Poilievre of shifting the Conservatives to the left, aligning more closely with the Liberals than small-government ideals.

Another pressing issue for the PPC leader is the party's fight to appear on the federal debate stage — a problem all too familiar for regular Rebel News viewers, given our own efforts to put questions to the leaders at the debates.

Bernier lays out his plan to challenge the debate commission's rules and shares why he thinks it's crucial for the PPC to get the opportunity to deliver their message while voters are paying the most attention.

On the pipeline cancellation add:
Today, as it turns out, before watching Fridays show I posted the following on X & Facebook, with a picture of a deer saying "I do not care who you are or your title, if you want my respect you have to earn it. Feel free to us any of it:
Some XL history:
Harper in US promoting XL pipe.
His officials supported it but Obama delayed deciding.
JT elected, Obama cancels it.
Trump, elected & approves it.
Biden elected & cancels it.
Trump talks about Tariffs.
Smith goes to US, promotes AB & Canada.
Who do you respect?

The ads are good. Hard hitting but people really need to know who this man is.

A vote for the PPC doesn’t split the conservative vote since the CPC isn’t truly a conservative party. They use the name trying to hide that they’re heavy on liberalism.
Michael Kelly commented 2025-03-30 12:27:54 -0400

I think Maxime Bernier should shut down the party altogether, why do we want to even chance splitting a conservative vote right now?
Robert Pariseau commented 2025-03-29 19:44:18 -0400

As long as Bernier continues to have any involvement in the PPC, it will never get higher than an extremely distant second in any riding, any election. He needs to build his profile between elections, which is exactly what Poilievre has been doing.
Robert Pariseau commented 2025-03-29 19:42:08 -0400

Here’s an idea, you hothead: how about you quit the party altogether, go back into private retreat, and the party choose a new leader?
Shannon Brault commented 2025-03-29 14:53:56 -0400

I’m loving those ads, Ezra! Keep them spicey – I think it’s exactly what we need.
Paul McCullough commented 2025-03-29 11:39:30 -0400

The PPC are the true conservatives.
Love the ads. Keep them coming.
Cheryl Hirsche commented 2025-03-28 21:39:48 -0400

I love your campaign videos! and the Hamilton street interviews with conservatives coming out of the Rally – with the Truck nearby – was FABULOUS!
Bruce Atchison commented 2025-03-28 20:50:42 -0400

I wish I could have run for the PPC but I have no car and couldn’t drive in any case. I also believe Poilievre is pulling his punches so as not to give the insane Liberals ammunition to use against him. It’s not a good look but it’s what I suspect him of doing.
Paulette Engler commented 2025-03-28 20:21:45 -0400

I always liked Mr . Bernier, will he have people running in Waterloo, Ontario ?
