The Canadians′ Choice Party (CCP) is a minor political party in Ontario, Canada. The party is led by Bahman Yazdanfar.[1]

History

The Canadians' Choice Party was founded on August 26, 2011 by Bahman Yazdanfar of Toronto.[2] Yazdanfar, who immigrated to Canada from Iran in 1986, ran a small consulting firm for businesses until 2008, when the global economic recession caused him to close.[3] After the failure of his business, Yazdanfar began a talk show on YouTube which interviewed subjects ranging from mainstream local figures to political extremists.[3]

In 2015, in response to public outcry over Your Ward News, a local newspaper delivered to households in The Beaches that was banned by Canada Post for carrying anti-Semitic and racist content, Yazdanfar supported the publication, buying advertising in it and decrying the Ontario government's laying of criminal charges against the publication's publisher and editor for hate speech.[2]

Platform

The party bills itself as a "party of independents" and offers very few barriers for entry.[4] To run as a candidate for the party, a candidate has to:

  • Show responsibility first to the riding they represent when they become MPP.
  • Show commitment to stay in the Canadians' Choice Party for the entire mandate once elected.
  • Not cross the floor.[5]

On its website, the party supports four priorities:[5]

  • Fiscal responsibility and respect for taxpayers,
  • Individual freedom and the right to free speech,
  • Sovereignty and protection of common-law rights,
  • Transparency and accountability in government.

It also calls for the ability to recall elected officials and calls for more referenda.[5]

Controversy and associations with Neo-Nazism

The party's position on unfettered free speech has caused controversy in the 2018 provincial election when several of its candidates were found to be associated with the neo-Nazi movement in Canada. James Sears, who ran in the riding of Ottawa Centre, is the editor of the far-right newspaper, Your Ward News, and claims to be an adherent of Nazism.[6][7] Another of the party's notable candidates is Paul Fromm, a prominent Canadian white supremacist, who ran in Etobicoke Centre.
