He gets to maintain the illusion that the PPC is a legitimate party actually running in elections, which keeps the donation cheques rolling in (as long as his supporters aren't smart enough to cue in to the fact that he's running in by-elections he knows he can never win).
From those donations he pays himself $100k a year as his "party leader" salary.
And as a fringe benefit, he gets to deny the CPC another seat and laugh at them (and Canada) while he rolls around in the cash he bilked his chump supporters out of.
This is like trying to convince scientologists that L. Ron Hubbard was a fraud and they're being taken for a ride. They're completely oblivious to the evidence all around them, and they're completely immune to reason. Indeed they react to reason and evidence with hostility and vitriol.
This.
