Nationalist Party of Canada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nationalist Party of Canada is a white supremacist Canadian political party that was founded in 1977 in Toronto by Don Andrews (born Vilim Zlomislic), who continues as leader of the party. The purported goals of the party are "the promotion and maintenance of European Heritage and Culture in Canada."
The party should not be confused with the National Party of Canada, a now-defunct centre-left party led by Mel Hurtig which opposed economic integration with the United States of America.
The Nationalist Party evolved from the another white supremacist organization, the Western Guard, and was briefly known as the National Citizens Alliance, which is not be confused with the National Citizens Coalition.
From 1977 to 1985, the party published the "Nationalist Report", which ceased publication when Don Andrews and Party Secretary Robert Smith were charged and convicted under the Criminal Code of Canada for promoting hatred.
Still based in Toronto, the NPC continues to further its goals through supporting such projects as European Heritage Week and a shortwave radio program.
Don Andrews has run for Mayor of Toronto several times, including in 2003 when he won 0.17% of the vote. In that year, two other party members ran unsuccessfully for Toronto city council.
