Maxime Bernier, a former cabinet Minister and leader of the People’s Party of Canada(PPC), supports bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. He said that he hates how central banks destroy our economy and money. Cryptos are an innovative and new way to combat this.

Max’s Support for Bitcoin and Crypto Maxime Bernier, founder and leader of the People’s Party of Canada has publicly supported cryptocurrency and bitcoin. He is a former Canadian foreign minister whose supporters have nicknamed “Mad Max.”

According to an EKOS poll, the PPC has 9% support nationally, which is higher than the Green Party but well below Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party and Erin O’Toole’s Conservative Party, each with around 30%.

Bernier tweeted Tuesday:

Many people are asking if I support bitcoin and cryptos. Yes, I do.

He continued: “I hate how central bankers are destroying our economy and money.”

He continued: “I’m more of an old-fashioned gold & silver fan, but cryptos are another new and innovative way to counter this that should be encouraged.”

Bernier has long been vocal in criticizing how his government’s policies hurt the economy and the people. On June 9, he commented on the Bank of Canada holding the current level of the policy rate, tweeting: “Yes, continue to print money, debase the dollar, force all prices higher, impoverish the poorest, fund Trudeau’s gigantic deficit, distort the economy, fuel the housing bubble, and artificially boost the stock market, you moronic Keynesian bureaucrats.”

In August last year, he tweeted in response to the news of the U.S. Federal Reserve making a major commitment to ramping up inflation. He wrote:

These crazy Keynesian bureaucrats will do everything to dilute the purchasing power of your dollars and make you poorer.

He noted at the time that “The Bank of Canada studied the same policy some years ago and may implement it too.”
