Gold Finance reports that Pierre Poilievre, a popular candidate for Prime Minister of Canada, has expressed support for cryptocurrencies and DeFi. Previously, 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 taxation purposes. Poilievre opposes the implementation of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and supports Bill C-400 to regulate CBDC, while advocating for Canadians' right to use Bitcoin and other digital assets. Since 2004, Poilievre has been advocating for reduced government intervention, enhanced economic independence, and a vision where Canadians can escape inflation through the use of cryptocurrencies.
