Episode notes

Maxime Bernier is the leader of the People’s Party of Canada.

After losing an extremely close race for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada (roughly equivalent to the Republican Party in the US) by a vote of 49/51, Maxime decided that none of the existing political parties in Canada were addressing the important social and economic issues that Canada is facing.

As a result, he formed the People’s Party of Canada, grounded in the principles of freedom, responsibility, fairness and respect. Since doing so, Maxime has brought a refreshing (and critical) honesty and rational thinking to the Canadian political discourse.

Maxime is not afraid to speak the truth, despite knowing that it will garner negative reactions from many people, and that the mainstream media and his political opponents will twist his words and mischaracterize him to suit their own ends.

It is this courage to speak the truth, regardless of the cost, that interested me in Maxime and caused me to respect and admire him greatly.

After hearing him espouse the principles of sound money and a free-market approach to economics, as well as denouncing the ridiculous Keynesian, big-government approach that dominates the world today, I knew I had to speak with him.

So I reached out to his team, and was very pleased that they agreed to an interview.

We discussed politics, economics, the current corona/economic crises, and finished on a discussion about sound money and Gold vs. Bitcoin:)

As far as I can tell, Max is a great guy, and it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to speak with him.

Enjoy!
