As someone who voted PPC, I am hoping Lewis wins, with Sloan as a 2nd choice (he has no shot at winning). Why the hatred towards PPC voters? I'll be voting CPC in a snap election because PPC has basically collapsed as a party, Max revealing he took a salary is also shameful.
Jagmeet Singh took no salary, and the NDP actually have seats. Now obviously if PPC had seats in parliament then a salary would be fine. But Bernier started a party and gave himself a salary, even if he is just 'out of touch' and not corrupt, it's a bad move perception wise.
Just to add on I think you have a good point but I’d like to throw in that it’s even more corrupt that Singhy boy is receiving huge dollars through gifts and other means. He’s clearly receiving money through other methods so by Bernier doing what he did by taking a salary at least he’s honest about it and no jumping through these retarded loop holes
