No. It's not. The electoral system isn't the same as in the States. Allow me to put it in American-style terms:
Canadians aren't allowed to vote for a President. They vote for their Congressman, and the Congressmen install the President. So in each district, it only matters who won. 5% of the votes do not mean 5% of the congressmen. It's not uncommon for a party that got 40% of the votes to get 60% of the congressmen, and a party that got 10% of the votes to get zero congressmen.
What the PPC are hoping for this election is to become a PRESENCE. (Meaning, to get sufficient votes for the media to stop ignoring them, to get into debates, etc.)
It's picking up votes for anyone who has some libertarian beliefs (no vaccine passport, no Bill C-10 or C-36). This includes some minorities that don't have a good history with forced injections or authoritarian governments.

That's exactly what the esteemed mod of Omega Canada says.
