People’s Party of Canada (PPC) leader Maxime Bernier is bringing his 2022 Western Tour to Moose Jaw as part of a meet-and-greet with supporters and other like-minded voters.

Bernier will be in The Friendly City on Wednesday, Aug. 24, from 12 to 2 p.m. at the pavilion in Connor Park in Wakamow Valley. He will make prepared remarks during the event and respond to questions from those in attendance. 

It is expected that the regional and provincial co-ordinators of the PPC will also be in attendance that afternoon. 

The PPC leader’s trip to Saskatchewan is part of a larger tour of Western Canada that began on Aug. 12 in Camrose, Alta., and finishes in Lloydminster, Alta., on Aug. 25. 

Bernier’s first stop in Saskatchewan is in Pilot Butte at the town hall on Tuesday, Aug. 23, from 6 to 8 p.m. This is followed by a stop in Moose Jaw on Aug. 24 and then a meet-and-greet in Warman at the Legends Centre BKC Room from 6 to 8 p.m.

He finishes up in Saskatchewan on Thursday, Aug. 25, stopping at the Best Western Premier Hotel in Prince Albert from 12 to 2 p.m.

The People’s Party of Canada received 844,076 votes — or five per cent of the total vote share — during the 2021 federal election, placing fifth nationally or fourth if you exclude the Quebec-focused Bloc Québécois. However, it did not acquire any seats in the House of Commons.

During the 2019 federal election, the PPC received 292,661 votes and 1.6 per cent of the total share, placing it sixth nationally or fifth if the BQ is excluded. Again, it did not acquire any seats in the House of Commons. 

In the Moose Jaw-Lake Centre-Lanigan constituency in 2019, PPC candidate Chey Craik received 4,537 votes or 11.6 per cent of the popular vote, good for third place. 

During the 2019 federal election, he received 1,613 votes or 3.59 per cent of the popular vote, placing fourth overall.
