Maxime Bernier and the Debates

Nobody expects the People's Party of Canada to win a seat this election. But don't tell that to party leader Maxime Bernier, who tells us (2:45) why he's not cooperating with Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives. Max's critics (including Shannon Phillips and Ken Boessenkool right after the interview) say his party's too extreme to be taken seriously. Do you agree or disagree? PPC: https://www.peoplespartyofcanada.ca/ 27:15 | Shannon Phillips and Ken Boessenkool break down the Bernier interview and get into the key storylines of the French and English debates.
