Canada91裸聊视频檚 brief brush with the People91裸聊视频檚 Party of Canada showed that attacking the country91裸聊视频檚 multiculturalism won91裸聊视频檛 score a spot in Ottawa, according to Simon Fraser University professors.

91裸聊视频淲e do hear Canadians concerned about immigration, but the way it was framed with the PPC didn91裸聊视频檛 resonate with more than a handful of Canadians across the country,91裸聊视频 said political science instructor Stewart Prest.

The People91裸聊视频檚 Party was shut out of the House of Commons, with even he91裸聊视频檇 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 91裸聊视频渞esults were disappointing91裸聊视频 but the struggle for a better society never ends.91裸聊视频

Nationally, the People91裸聊视频檚 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.

That91裸聊视频檚 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 can91裸聊视频檛 carry a party to Ottawa, Prest said, it doesn91裸聊视频檛 mean they91裸聊视频檙e not there.

Cara Camcastle, who also teaches political science at SFU, said the party91裸聊视频檚 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 91裸聊视频渇ringe91裸聊视频 party got less than two per cent of the popular vote, proportional representation should make it back into the discussion.

91裸聊视频淭his was why the Liberals were so fearful of considering proportional representation,91裸聊视频 she said. 91裸聊视频淸But] it didn91裸聊视频檛 happen.91裸聊视频
