Patriot Party of Canada

The Patriot Party of Canada is an internet-based Canadian political party founded in 2001 by Daniel R. Perley, an advanced technology executive and consultant from Ottawa.

The website lists a 13-member party executive, which includes Ken Sweigard, leader of the Social Credit party for a time in the 1980s, and Marianne Wilkinson, a former Mayor of the City of Kanata, near Ottawa.

Following the initial posting of information on the website, there does not appear to have been any organizational activity.

Current status

The Patriot Party of Canada has had limited growth because of lack of funding. Its organizers are waiting for a majority government to be formed so that they will have a four-year period in which to put in place a national organization and field a credible number of candidates in the subsequent election.
