Pierre Poilievre 成為加拿大聯邦選舉的領跑者，獲得加密貨幣社群的支持

繼去年 12 月財政部長克里斯蒂亞·弗里蘭辭職後不久，加拿大總理賈斯汀·特魯多於 1 月 7 日辭職。

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resigned on Saturday, paving the way for Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre to become the front-runner in the federal election scheduled for October 2020, according to Polymarket odds, which give him an 89% chance of winning.

加拿大總理賈斯汀·杜魯道(Justin Trudeau) 於週六辭職，為保守黨領袖皮埃爾·波利耶夫(Pierre Poilievre) 成為定於2020 年10 月舉行的聯邦選舉的領跑者鋪平了道路，根據Polymarket 賠率，他獲勝的幾率為89%。

Poilievre has gained strong support from the cryptocurrency community. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk shared a video of Poilievre discussing inflation and government overspending, writing “Perfectly articulated” in the caption.

Poilievre 獲得了加密貨幣社群的大力支持。特斯拉（納斯達克股票代碼：TSLA）首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克分享了一段 Poilievre 討論通貨膨脹和政府超支的視頻，並在標題中寫道“完美闡述”。

In the video, Poilievre argues that inflation is caused by too much government spending, borrowing, and printing money. Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) CEO Brian Armstrong also showed support for Poilievre, commenting “Well said” under the video.

在影片中，波利耶夫認為通貨膨脹是由政府過度支出、借貸和印鈔所造成的。 Coinbase（納斯達克股票代碼：COIN）首席執行官布萊恩·阿姆斯特朗（Brian Armstrong）也表達了對 Poilievre 的支持，並在視頻下評論道“說得好”。

BTC Inc (NYSE:BTCC) CEO David Bailey suggested that Poilievre could establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve for Canada.

貝利在 X 上的一篇文章中寫道。

Poilievre has been a vocal advocate for Bitcoin. During his 2022 campaign, he showcased the practical use of Bitcoin by purchasing a chicken shawarma in Ontario with the cryptocurrency.

Poilievre 一直是比特幣的積極倡導者。在 2022 年的競選活動中，他用加密貨幣在安大略省購買了一份雞肉沙瓦瑪，展示了比特幣的實際用途。

This move echoes other political figures, such as Donald Trump, who used Bitcoin’s Lightning Network during his 2024 campaign.

這一舉動與其他政治人物相呼應，例如唐納德·川普，他在 2024 年競選期間使用了比特幣的閃電網絡。

In April 2024, Poilievre backed legislation that aimed to prohibit the introduction of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in Canada. He has spoken out against the government’s control over financial systems and called for greater freedom for citizens to use cryptocurrencies.

2024 年 4 月，Poilievre 支持旨在禁止在加拿大引入央行數位貨幣（CBDC）的立法。他公開反對政府對金融體系的控制，並呼籲公民更自由地使用加密貨幣。

“Money-printing deficits make our wages go up in smoke. We need sound money again—and also the freedom for buyers and sellers to choose Bitcoin and other technology.”

「印鈔赤字使我們的薪資直線上升。我們再次需要穩健的貨幣，以及買家和賣家選擇比特幣和其他技術的自由。
