Pierre Poilievre, known for his pro-cryptocurrency stance, has taken a significant lead in the race to become Canada's next leader. This development comes in the wake of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's resignation, which took place on January 6, prompting widespread reactions across social media.
Elon Musk even temporarily changed X's like button to commemorate Trudeau's exit. According to data from Polymarket, Poilievre stands an 88% chance of winning the leadership contest. His pro-crypto position may be appealing to younger voters and those interested in digital assets, positioning him as a strong contender in the political landscape.
