Maxime Bernier, the leader of the newly formed People’s Party of Canada, met with Calgarians for the first time as a federal party leader on Friday night. Many of Bernier’s supporters at Friday’s People’s Party rally, held at the Best Western hotel on Crowchild Trail, weren’t concerned about potential ties to white supremacists or other extreme groups and individuals. That’s important for us, and we don’t try to please everybody,” Bernier said in an interview days before his rally. Williams agreed that more ideological conservative voters will be drawn to Bernier’s party, leading up to the 2019 fall federal election. So it’s a liability that’s going to be an enduring challenge.” Andrew Jeffrey is a reporter/photographer for StarMetro Calgary.
