He has also advocated for ending lockdowns and mask mandates and against the rollout of a vaccine passport system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The politician\u2019s remarks come before a Canadian federal election scheduled for next Monday, with the People&#8217;s Party currently holding no seats in the country\u2019s parliament. Though many right-leaning politicians worldwide have\u00a0adopted pro-crypto stances\u00a0as part of their campaigns or policies once in office, the role of Bitcoin (BTC) and crypto is seemingly not a one-party issue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Canada has often paved the way for many initiatives in the crypto space. Ethereum co-founder\u00a0Vitalik Buterin is Russian-Canadian\u00a0and investments firms have been able to successfully\u00a0launch crypto exchange-traded funds\u00a0while U.S. regulators have yet to reach a decision on the investment vehicle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><em>Related:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Crypto in Canada: Where are we today, and where are we heading?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">However, many Canadian lawmakers, including Trudeau, have been largely silent on the role cryptocurrencies may play in the country\u2019s economy.
