SEP 30 - FRANK GODON RESIGNED AS CANDIDATE, LUC HETU DIDN'T GET PAPERWORK IN ON TIME, THERE ARE NO LONGER ANY INDIGENOUS LIBERTARIAN CANIDIDATES.
Libertarian Party of Canada describes its mission to
reduce responsibilities and expense of government. "This, so that we may each
manage our lives to mutually fulfill our needs by the free and voluntary
exchange of our efforts and property for the value that best realizes our
happiness."
In 2011 the Libertarian party ran 23 candidates 6,017 votes
or 0.04% of the total Canadian vote. According their website (June 1, 2015) they
currently have 75 candidates, which is impressive when we still have at least
4.5 months till the scheduled October election. They may break their 1988 record
of having 88 candidates. It’s worth noting the Green Party of Canada started
with 60 candidates in 1984 winning .21% of the vote to 303 candidates and
almost 1M votes in 2008.
Of note, they have two Indigenous candidates to date. Just like any
other voter, Aboriginal people are not homogenous to one party and join and
support party’s that best reflect their values.
