From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Western Independence Party of Saskatchewan is a provincial political party in Saskatchewan, Canada. It advocates the separation of Canada's four western provinces (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba), and the formation of a new country. It is a branch of the federal Western Independence Party. It supports politically conservative policies.
The party was formed on July 12, 2003, and nominated 17 candidates in the November 5, 2003 provincial election. These candidates won a total of 2,735 votes, or 0.64% of the provincial total.
The party's Interim Leader is Gord Elias, Party President is Neil Fenske.
The WIP of Saskatchewan has informal ties with the Separation Party of Alberta and The Western Canada Party. The WIPSK is not affiliated to the Western Canada Concept Party of British Columbia or the British Columbia-based Western Block Party and has distanced itself from Doug Christie, the controversial leader of those parties.
