Bernier's positions serve as an important red flag in this election for those considering voting for Scheer, who also denies genocide occurred. On this issue and many others, the two are very much alike.

In fact, there is more in common between the PPC and CPC than just their logos and colours.

Scheer, too, shies away from talk of a climate emergency. He spent the day dedicated to the Global Climate Strike promoting his plans for wider roads and tunnel projects that would increase traffic.

Scheer has stated that bigots, extremists and racists are not welcome in his party, but he has stood by a number of candidates who have made racist and homophobic comments.
