  List of political parties in Canada - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
In contrast with the political party systems of many nations, Canadian parties at the federal level are often only loosely connected with parties at the provincial level, despite having similar names.
The below political parties are believed to possess an extant national organization of some extent and have indicated they plan to gather signatures for the purposes of registration.
From approximately 1898 to 1905, political parties were active, however, legislative government was eliminated when the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan were created out of the heavily populated area of NWT.

The party condemns whatever it perceives as anti-marriage, anti-family, and anti-Christian, and bemoans both fatherless families and the decline of strong male leadership.
The raison d'etre of this party is "to raise national conscience and inspire freedom, creativity, and development" in Greece by thwarting the influence of all foreign economies, cultures, and ideas.
This nationalistic party was originally established in 1905 by Arthur Griffith, and has several branches, the largest of which-Provisional Sinn Fein-is the only political party to be represented in the parliaments of both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

 Rhinoceros Party of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Parti Rhinocéros, commonly known as the Rhinoceros Party in English, was a registered political party in Canada from the 1960s to the 1990s.
The party, which claimed to be the spiritual descendants of Cacareco, a Brazilian rhinoceros who was elected member of São Paulo's city council in the 1950s, listed Cornelius the First, a rhinoceros from the Granby Zoo, east of Montreal, as its leader.
The party abstained from the 1993 federal election while they questioned the constitutionality of new rules that required the party to run candidates in at least 50 ridings at a cost of $1,000 per candidature.

 Salon | Dot-com party madness
A Respond.com party late last year featured performers from Cirque du Soleil, and in December, ETour flew the accordion-playing Net celeb Mahir in from Turkey to party with scantily clad Rouze.com models and San Francisco dot-commers.
Last Thursday, the busiest night of the dot-com party week, it was Napster, the maker of the controversial MP3-swapping software and defendant in several lawsuits; the week before that it was Luminant, an e-business solutions company that has 18 employees in San Francisco but entertained 800 guests.
The party at Club NV, adorned by 3-foot-tall blocks of cheese and make-your-own sundaes, was designed "to introduce Luminant to the community in a forceful way," says Guillermo Marmol, CEO of the Dallas company, but it was also a tool to woo job candidates.

 Anarchism on the revolutionary party   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The nature of the Party after 1914 (when it was broadened by many who agreed with Lenin only on the need to turn the imperialist war into a civil war) meant that these proposals came under fire from a significant minority (and in the case of the militarisation of labour possibly a majority).
Lenin saw that the organisation of the party was determined by the authoritarian society in which it existed (though he did not see that the structure of a vanguard party determined the society which it created), and tried to solve the problem by adopting democratic centralism.
It is absolutely necessary that anarchists clarify their relationship to this self-emancipation, and the debate on organisation within the libertarian movement must develop in a clear and realistic direction.

 The Struggle for a Proletarian Party
Party membership confers the fullest freedom of discussion, debate and criticism inside the ranks of the party, limited only by such decisions and provisions as are made by the party itself or by bodies to which it assigns this function.
The party requires of every member the acceptance of its discipline and the carrying on of his activity in accordance with the program of the party, with the decisions adopted by its conventions, and with the policies formulated and directed by the party leadership.
Party activity must be lifted out of dragging, daily routine and reorganised on the basis of campaigns which are realistically adjusted to the demands and direction of the workers’ movement.

 The Voyageurs: Canadian Soccer Supporters - Beer Lovers Party
Its humorous name probably helped the party win votes from a politically disenchanted populace in the 1991 parliamentary elections, in which the PPPP captured sixteen Sejm seats.
In Canada it would have to be a Centrist party (nationalist, fiscally conservative, protective of social programs) and hold their meetings in Bars.
They disbanded due to rules that stated candidates had to pay a $1,000 application fee in order to run for election, and that a party had to have at least 50 candidates (each paying $1,000) in order to them to get their party names onto ballots; otherwise they'd all be referred to merely as "independents".

 Where Have All the Rhinos Gone?
The Rhinoceros Party of Canada was founded in 1963 by separatist Dr. Jacques Ferron.
The party always claimed that the rhino was the ideal symbol for a political party, as politicians are “thick-skinned, slow-moving, dim-witted, can move fast as hell when in danger, and have large, hairy horns in the middle of their faces.”
As they were fond of saying, their party platform was two feet high and made of wood.

 Social Credit: not  Socialism, not a political party
So the point is not to create new parties, and divide the people even more, but to unite the people around common objectives, and then to put pressure on the Government to implement these objectives.
The ruling party in Alberta at the time, the United Farmers, was also open to Social Credit, but said that it could only be applied nation-wide, and not provincially.
As Douglas said, if Social Credit was absurd and worthless as an effective answer to the Great Depression of the period, the best way to have this demonstrated would have been to permit the Government of Alberta to go ahead with a Social Credit policy.

 Iowa Progress » Is Fallon Loyal To The Party?
Party loyalty (or, more notably, party disloyalty) can become a huge issue in Democratic primaries, and it can only hurt Fallon.
And there are really people who think Fallon burnt his bridges in 2000 when he went against his party in an incredibly important election.
His statement has absolutely nothing to do with running as an independent, but whether or not he would endorse another Democratic candidate.

 The Absurd Report » AMAZING DEMOCRATS By Neal Boortz
There is very little, if any, resemblance of the congressional Republicans of 2006 as compared to the Republicans who took control of the House of Representatives in 1994.Gone is the revolutionary zeal to reduce the power, influence and size of government and to return power and responsibility to the people.
That would be absolutely fine with me. They have done little to deserve the majority position they hold.
And, though the left absolutely hates to hear this, there was and is proof of Saddam’s connections to Al Qaeda and to Osama bin Laden.

The observers of "mainstream" politics are so stuck in their construct, they don't take into consideration the possibility that both major parties are intentionally stifling debate, and leading their mass support further into the corporate political morass.

What excesses the Reps are party to now can be partly attributed to early efforts to reach across the aisle, and for their efforts they got kicked right in the teeth.

 Amazon.com: Would You Rather : Over 200 Absolutely Absurd Dilemmas to Ponder: Books: David Gomberg,Justin Heimberg   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
This book honestly disappointed me. I was excited to order it, hoping that it contained a series of wacky--but thought-provoking--dilemmas that I could use at a party as a fun icebreaker (i.e., copy them onto cards and leave them lying around for people to look at).
The authors deliver on part of the promise; the dilemmas are truly absurd, combining random pop-culture references with silly concepts and situations.
The authors seem much more interested in proving how absurd they can be than in coming up with something that, although odd, illuminates basic values or personality traits.
