The other Maxime Bernier,a guy from Montreal whomSébastien Corriveau, leader of the Rhinoceros Party, said will run in Beauce, the PPC leader’s current riding just south of Quebec City.

“I think people in Beauce want a better Maxime Bernier,” Bernier 2.0 told the National Post.

Rhino-Bernier works at a merchandising company that supplies Costco, but despite his lack of political experience, both he and Corriveau have confidence his name will be on the ballot.

“There are a lot of people who tell me, ‘I want to vote for Maxime Bernier and I want to vote Rhinoceros’,” Corriveau said in French. “And well, I’m offering them an option so that they can vote Rhino and Bernier!”

Corriveau found Rhino-Bernier through Facebook, perusing through the countless other Maxime Berniers before landing on someone who agreed. “I thought it’d be great,” Bernier said, adding that he finds some of the party’s positions to be funny.
