People’s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier announced the appointment of four regional lieutenants representing the party in each of the four major regions of Canada: Western Canada & the Territories, Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada. .During a Friday press conference, Bernier shared the details of the regional lieutenants who will provide leadership and guidance within the party as well as handle the party’s strategy and communications in each area..“Unique regional identities that are found nowhere else in the world evolved within the Canadian context: The Western Frontiersman, the Quebecois, the Métis, the Acadian and so many more,” said Bernier..“It is all these wildly different regional identities, united through a common feeling of brotherhood and shared interests, that make Canada truly unique.”.“[…] This comes right to the root of why I am appointing these new regional lieutenants.”.Bernier followed the press conference with a tweet announcing the nominations..Kelly Lorencz, the PPC’s appointed lieutenant for Western Canada and the Territories, said the appointments will “go a long way to show that we are a committed, serious party.”.“Having a regional lieutenant also shows Max’s commitment to the West,” she said..“For far too long, parties have pandered to us when it is politically convenient, but have done absolutely nothing for us. The PPC does what’s best for all Canadians by letting the provinces govern their own affairs.”.“In the West, we know what is best for our region, and now, I’ll be able to provide a direct line right to Maxime, right from the West…”.Lorencz tweeted about his appointment and said he is “[v]ery honoured to have been named Western Lieutenant (sic)” of the PPC..Ontario Lieutenant Cole Squire said he sees the appointment as an opportunity to “better serve and advocate for Canadians” in his region..“I am thrilled to work with the great people of Ontario and bring attention to the issues that are most salient to them, such as the financial burdens being placed on our farmers, critical race theory and radical transgenderism being imposed on our children, and of course Doug Ford and the provincial government’s unconstitutional Covid mandates.”.Daniel Brisson was named the PPC’s Quebec lieutenant..“This appointment is another step towards the growth of the PPC in Quebec and a sustained presence of a party that has the true interests of Canadian citizens at heart in all provinces,” said Brisson..“Quebec has a place in a federal government, something the regionalist Bloc Québécois could never offer. Together, let us be strong, free and united citizens from coast to coast!”.The PPC’s Atlantic Canada Lieutenant is Michelle Lindsay..“As a candidate of record for the last two elections, I have seen our Nova Scotian team work with endless energy and passion, in the hopes of electing a People’s Party government that will respect our nation’s democracy, its values, constitution, its Charter—your fundamental rights and freedoms,” said Lindsay..“I will commit to spreading this message throughout our eastern coast.”.Melanie Risdon is a reporter with the Western Standard.,.mrisdon@westernstandard.news
