  Western Independence Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Western Independence Party (WIP) is a Canadian political party that advocates the separation from Canada of the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba as well as the Yukon and Northwest Territories to form a new country.
The WIP was formed because the group had grown dissatisfied with the direction of another western separatist party, the federal Western Canada Concept (WCC), lead by Lawyer Douglas Christie of Victoria, B.C. At the party's founding convention in October 1987 in Edmonton, Dr, Fred Marshall was elected interim leader.
Party policy was adopted at the founding convention and was expanded at a policy convention in Saskatoon in April 1988.
