Birth Of A New Party

  The Democracy Party of Canada was created on July 1, 2004. It is a political party as defined by the Elections Act in that it is "an organization one of whose fundamental purposes is to participate in public affairs by endorsing one or more of its members as candidates and supporting their election to the Parliament of Canada."

  The objective of the Democracy Party of Canada is to register with Elections Canada and to promote, from within the current system, a system of political parties that does NOT burden the taxpayers of Canada with any of its costs. Presently, registered political parties receive money from you the taxpayers to fund their day-to-day operations. The lucrative salaries and perks are sufficient, and we don’t think that Canadian taxpayers should be forced to contribute to political parties through their votes. Shouldn’t democracy be tax-free?

  But to change these laws, our elected members have to be in Parliament so that we can bring these embarrassments to light on a daily basis in the House of Commons. It will be easy to do if we are a registered political party but, until then, we will actively endorse Independent Candidates across the country to fill this important role.

  This is because the Democracy Party promotes a form of democracy where elected MPs work for their constituents and NOT for the Party Leader. As such, the Democracy Party of Canada is a natural for Independent Candidates which by definition are not beholden to Party Leaders and rigid “top down” party policies. Independent Candidates are the only candidates who by definition work for you the voters and not for the established parties.

  As such, we encourage you to support the following endeavor: Independent Candidates.

  Whether or not the the Democracy Party of Canada is registered, we expect to endorse candidates in each of Canada’s 308 ridings. The first we are pleased to endorse are:

  To help us organize independent-thinking candidates across the country, and to help us register the Party, we invite you to join our party. There is no charge. But even if you don't join the party, we ask that you email this link to your friends and anyone else who you believe is tired of top down, autocratic, party rule.
