Golden Finance reports that Pierre Poilievre, a popular candidate for Prime Minister of Canada, stated his support for cryptocurrencies and DeFi. In 2022, Poilievre invested in the Purpose Bitcoin ETF, demonstrating his commitment to digital assets, although his current holdings have not been disclosed. His campaign platform includes creating favorable regulations for crypto businesses and classifying crypto assets as commodities for tax purposes. Poilievre opposes the implementation of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and supports Bill C-400 to regulate CBDCs, while advocating for Canadians' right to use Bitcoin and other digital assets. Since 2004, Poilievre has advocated for reducing government intervention, enhancing economic independence, and promoting the vision that Canadians can escape inflation by using cryptocurrencies.
