The People's Party of Canada (PPC; French: Parti Populaire du Canada) is a federal political party in Canada. The party was created by Maxime Bernier on September 14, 2018, shortly after he resigned from the Conservative Party.

The party is conservative,[8] libertarian,[5] populist,[9] classical liberal,[10] and right-wing.[11]

Bernier was the party's only Member of Parliament, having represented the riding of Beauce from 2006 to the 2019 federal election.

On March 21, 2022, Maxime Barneir announced the People's Party ending it's activity on YouTube, complaining about alleged "censorship."
