Pierre Poilievre 成为加拿大联邦选举的领跑者，获得加密货币社区的支持

继去年 12 月财政部长克里斯蒂亚·弗里兰辞职后不久，加拿大总理贾斯汀·特鲁多于 1 月 7 日辞职。

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.

加拿大总理贾斯汀·特鲁多 (Justin Trudeau) 于周六辞职，为保守党领袖皮埃尔·波利耶夫 (Pierre Poilievre) 成为定于 2020 年 10 月举行的联邦选举的领跑者铺平了道路，根据 Polymarket 赔率，他获胜的几率为 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 获得了加密货币社区的大力支持。特斯拉（纳斯达克股票代码：TSLA）首席执行官埃隆·马斯克分享了一段 Poilievre 讨论通货膨胀和政府超支的视频，并在标题中写道“完美阐述”。

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.

在视频中，波利耶夫认为通货膨胀是由政府过度支出、借贷和印钞造成的。 Coinbase（纳斯达克股票代码：COIN）首席执行官布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗（Brian Armstrong）也表达了对 Poilievre 的支持，并在视频下评论道“说得好”。

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

贝利在 X 上的一篇文章中写道。

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 一直是比特币的积极倡导者。在 2022 年的竞选活动中，他用加密货币在安大略省购买了一份鸡肉沙威玛，展示了比特币的实际用途。

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

这一举动与其他政治人物相呼应，例如唐纳德·特朗普，他在 2024 年竞选期间使用了比特币的闪电网络。

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数字货币（CBDC）的立法。他公开反对政府对金融系统的控制，并呼吁公民更自由地使用加密货币。

2022 年 4 月 1 日，Poilievre 写道：

“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.”

“印钞赤字使我们的工资直线上升。我们再次需要稳健的货币，也需要买家和卖家选择比特币和其他技术的自由。”
