Bernier, a former cabinet minister known to some as Mad Max, has spoken out in criticism of Canada’s vaccination regulations at a time when COVID-19 infections continue to rise in the country. He has also advocated an end to the door and mask bans and is against the introduction of a vaccination record.

The statements of the politician come before the federal elections in Canada, which are scheduled for September 20, in which the People’s Party does not currently have a seat in the country’s parliament. Although many right-wing politicians around the world have taken a pro-crypto stance as part of their campaigns or guidelines in office, the role of Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrency does not seem to be a question of one side.

Canada often paves the way for many initiatives in the crypto space. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin is a Russian-Canadian and investment firm has successfully launched exchange-traded crypto funds while US regulators have yet to make a decision on how to proceed.
