Election law loophole?

The party was formed as a result of laws restricting political advocacy by "third parties" (i.e., organizations that are not registered by Elections Canada as political parties) during election campaigns. It intends to use its status as a political party to circumvent that restriction by running a sole candidate thus allowing it to promote its views during election periods.[1] Though the party is nominally running a single candidate in order to entitle it to political party status, its role in most ridings is to endorse a major party candidate which it sees as promoting the organization's views. Elections Canada is the non-partisan agency of the Government of Canada responsible for the conduct of federal elections and referendums. ...


Canadian electoral laws hinder abuse of this loophole by setting campaign spending limits for parties that are proportional to the number of voters in the elctoral districts where the a party is running candidates. Because the Animal Alliance Environment Voters Party of Canada is only running one candidate, it will only be permitted to spend $66,715.37 compared to the $18,225,260.74 limits granted to the major national parties. [2]


AAC and EV have in the past campaigned to elect candidates and parties with positions favourable to animal rights and the environment, respectively, and to oppose those with unfavourable positions. Since 1999, the groups claim to have participated in over 50 campaigns.
