Canada害羞草研究所檚 brief brush with the People害羞草研究所檚 Party of Canada showed that attacking the country害羞草研究所檚 multiculturalism won害羞草研究所檛 score a spot in Ottawa, according to Simon Fraser University professors.
害羞草研究所淲e do hear Canadians concerned about immigration, but the way it was framed with the PPC didn害羞草研究所檛 resonate with more than a handful of Canadians across the country,害羞草研究所� said political science instructor Stewart Prest.
The People害羞草研究所檚 Party was shut out of the House of Commons, with even he害羞草研究所檇 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 害羞草研究所渞esults were disappointing害羞草研究所� but the struggle for a better society never ends.害羞草研究所�

Nationally, the People害羞草研究所檚 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.

Cara Camcastle, who also teaches political science at SFU, said the party害羞草研究所檚 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 害羞草研究所渇ringe害羞草研究所� party got less than two per cent of the popular vote, proportional representation should make it back into the discussion.
