Love him or hate him, think he’s a monster or a saviour or just don’t give a damn, one thing is clear.

Maxime Bernier does not sound crazy. The People’s party leader is in Calgary and does not appear vile. If he has horns, he left them at home.

Bernier is not some guy out of nowhere.

He is an MP and former cabinet minister and came within a hair of being the Conservative leader instead of Andrew Scheer. Somebody must like him.

Is he putting into words what more than a few people are thinking?

Speaking of words, Bernier has some of them for the Conservative leader.

He thinks Scheer doesn’t know what he believes, will say what you want to hear and is ready to please anybody to be in government.

“It’s not me who is not conservative anymore. It’s Andrew Scheer who is not conservative. The Conservative Party of Canada is morally and intellectually corrupt. Now they are like the Liberals on a lot of subjects.”

Bernier sees his party as “the end of political correctness” and an uprising of those who’ve had it with the old politics.
