People's Party of Canada voters bring a 'big question mark' to the GTA's tightest races
CBC
Toronto's Elie Shermer isn't sure if he's going to vote this year.
He's only voted once before, years ago, and can't remember who he supported.
But this year, he knows who he'll check off if he does end up at his polling place on Monday: the People's Party of Canada.
"If I do, I'm thinking PPC," he told CBC Toronto. "They seem to align with how I feel the world is."
That "if" represents a key unknown in the Greater Toronto Area's election results on Monday.
The PPC, led by former Conservative cabinet minister Maxime Bernier, has become a haven for many who oppose COVID-19 vaccine mandates and passports, and who espouse other right-wing positions. They might have been part of the Conservative base in previous elections, but many now think Erin O'Toole's party is too moderate for them.
But while riding-by-riding polling data indicates some support for the People's Party in the GTA — will it materialize at the ballot box?
