Conservative house leader Candice Bergen says her party is “paying attention” but is not “overly concerned” about Bernier’s People’s Party of Canada. “Any smart political party, or smart political organization would pay attention when something like this happens. When asked directly if he had any evidence newcomers were not adopting Canadian values, Bernier said he wasn’t suggesting that was currently the case. “They don’t have a place in our party,” Bernier said, specifically referring to anti-Semites and people who want to close Canada completely to new immigrants. But Bernier doesn’t have to accomplish all of that to play spoiler for the Conservative party and his former leadership rival Scheer.
