CanadaB次元官网网址檚 brief brush with the PeopleB次元官网网址檚 Party of Canada showed that attacking the countryB次元官网网址檚 multiculturalism wonB次元官网网址檛 score a spot in Ottawa, according to Simon Fraser University professors.
B次元官网网址淲e do hear Canadians concerned about immigration, but the way it was framed with the PPC didnB次元官网网址檛 resonate with more than a handful of Canadians across the country,B次元官网网址� said political science instructor Stewart Prest.
The PeopleB次元官网网址檚 Party was shut out of the House of Commons, with even heB次元官网网址檇 held since 2006 in Beauce, Que. His father had held the riding for more than two decades.
Bernier formed the right-leaning party in 2018, after he lost the Conservative leadership race to Andrew Scheer by only a couple percentage points.
The party espoused views that denied climate change and asked for immigration to be cut in half.
On Twitter, Bernier thanked the Canadians who voted for his group, saying the B次元官网网址渞esults were disappointingB次元官网网址� but the struggle for a better society never ends.B次元官网网址�
Thank you to the 300k Canadians who supported candidates yesterday. The results were disappointing. But the struggle for a better society never ends. And the principles and policies we proposed are more relevant than ever.

Nationally, the PeopleB次元官网网址檚 Party got just 292,703 votes, or 1.6 per cent. Albertans cast the most, at 2.2 per cent of all ballots cast, while B.C. came in at 1.7 per cent.
ThatB次元官网网址檚 a distance sixth place behind the Liberals, Conservatives, NDP, Bloc Qu茅b茅cois, and Green Party.
However, even if anti-immigration views alone canB次元官网网址檛 carry a party to Ottawa, Prest said, it doesnB次元官网网址檛 mean theyB次元官网网址檙e not there.
B次元官网网址淚t was only four years ago we had members of then-prime minister [Stephen] HarperB次元官网网址檚 government musing about a barbarian practices tip line,B次元官网网址� he noted.

Cara Camcastle, who also teaches political science at SFU, said the partyB次元官网网址檚 poor showing sets Canada apart from the U.S., especially in how it responds to immigration.
She said she believes that after this election, where a B次元官网网址渇ringeB次元官网网址� party got less than two per cent of the popular vote, proportional representation should make it back into the discussion.
B次元官网网址淭his was why the Liberals were so fearful of considering proportional representation,B次元官网网址� she said. B次元官网网址淸But] it didnB次元官网网址檛 happen.B次元官网网址�
