Parti Citron
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lemon Party of Canada (Parti Citron) is a frivolous Canadian federal political party. The party is headed by Pope Terence the First.
Their 2004 national convention churned out intelligent, family-oriented policies which were "placed in small green plastic boxes and sold to industrial pig farms in Mexico", according to a large party spokeswoman. The subsequent electoral campaign, under the theme "For a bitter Canada," attracted impressive coverage from state-run media (see CBC.ca article [1]).
The Lemon Party prides itself on its record on fiscal discipline and in pushing for economic growth. This position has been reinforced with the publication of its economic plan, authored by Montreal economist Ianik Marcil, which can be found online, at [2].
The 2006 general election was the object of a formal boycott by the Lemon Party of Canada for undisclosed reasons. Insiders point to "fear" to explain this noted absence from the federal political scene.
The Lemon Party has not been officially registered as a political party since the early 1990s, when it was registered only in Quebec.
