Pierre Poilievre, the leader of the Canadian Conservative Party, has criticized the Bank of Canada's proposal to develop a central bank digital currency (CBDC). This statement was made in a video released on Sunday, where the 46-year-old politician engaged with constituents in a relaxed, personal environment.
During the video, a local farmer voiced concerns regarding the potential impact of the CBDC on everyday Canadians, highlighting the importance of discussing the implications of such financial innovations.
