Bernier draws a crowd in Inwood
September 15, 2021
Peoples Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier made a swing through Lambton County today.
Maxime Bernier made a stop in Sarnia and another in Inwood on his way to Chatham. Upwards of 400 people greeted him outdoors at Kelly’s Sporting Goods.
Bernier has harnessed the anti-lockdown movement – often giving false information about COVID-19 and the pandemic – and his party has been rising in the polls. He told the Inwood crowd the “silent majority” is with them and the PPC would “surprise” the nation on election day.
Bernier railed against vaccination verification systems – or vaccine passports – saying they segregated the unvaccinated from the vaccinated, envoking images of the segregation Rosa Parks faced on Dec. 1, 1955 when she sat in the white section of a bus in Alabama.
Before Bernier spoke, Lambton-Kent-Middlesex candidate Kevin Mitchell told the crowd he was “within 1,000 votes” of Conservative candidate Lianne Rood. The incumbent MP won the riding with 49 per cent of the vote in 2019.
