Pierre Poilievre, the opposition leader, is leading the Canadian PM race by 24 points after Justin Trudeau announced his resignation. Known for his support of cryptocurrencies, Poilievre had previously advocated for making Canada a 'crypto capital' and used Bitcoin to make purchases such as buying shawarma in 2022. His stance includes criticism of central banking and supporting Bitcoin as an alternative in the face of rising inflation. This aligns with his criticisms of centralized financial systems and suggests a pro-crypto approach in his leadership style should he become Prime Minister.
