Conservative Canadians’ latest choice to take on the country’s liberal leader Justin Trudeau is a bitcoin-lover who plans to turn Canada into the “blockchain capital of the world.”

The 43-year-old, who’s promised to tackle the issue of rampant inflation in Canada, is historically pro-bitcoin. Back in March, the Ottawa native said that a government with him at the helm would work to “normalize cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ethereum” and to “decentralize” the economy while cutting back the influence of central bankers.

“Canada needs less financial control for politicians and bankers and more financial freedom for the people,” Poilievre söyledi CBC back in March. “That includes freedom to own and use crypto, tokens, smart contracts and decentralized finance,” (our emphasis).

Poilievre was particularly critical of Justin Trudeau’s approach to the economy during the COVID-19 pandemic, claiming that printing $400 million “out of thin air” was to blame for record levels of inflation.

He also vowed, if elected, to “keep bitcoin legal” and would resist any calls for a China-style crackdown.
