Mainstream media is starting to regret ignoring the People's Party

After spending a few days on the road covering the Conservative campaign, last weekend True North's Andrew Lawton became the first and only journalist in the election so far to follow the People's Party of Canada campaign tour. Andrew followed PPC leader Maxime Bernier on a swing through Alberta, reporting on the PPC's message and events, as well as the unique coalition of supporters behind the upstart party that's been polling in the double digits – significantly above its 2019 vote share.

Next episode, we'll spotlight the western-focused Maverick Party.
