When he was first elected, as a Liberal in 1949 federal election in the riding of Davenport, he was the youngest person ever elected to the Canadian House of Commons. He served a brief stint as Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Defence, and made a good impression. He was then named Associate Minister of National Defence in the cabinet of Prime Minister Louis Saint-Laurent.

Hellyer sat as an independent for several years. After Hellyer failed in an attempt to form his own political party, the Action Canada party, in 1971, Progressive Conservative leader Robert Stanfield invited him to join the PC caucus. He returned to prominence as an opposition critic and was re-elected in the 1972 election as a Progressive Conservative. He lost his seat, however, in the 1974 election.

Despite this loss, Hellyer contested the PC leadership convention of 1976. His views were too right wing for most delegates, and alienated many Tories with a speech attacking Red Tories as not being "true conservatives". This was surprising, given that Hellyer had spent most of his political career as a Liberal. He finished a distant sixth of eight contestants on the second ballot. The 1976 leadership convention of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada was held in Ottawa on February 22, 1976, to elect a leader to replace Robert Stanfield, who had resigned after losing the 1968, 1972, and 1974 elections. ... 1976 is a leap year starting on Thursday (link will take you to calendar). ...

Hellyer rejoined the Liberal Party in 1982, but remained mostly silent in politics. In 1988, he contested the Liberal nomination in the Toronto riding of St. Paul's, losing to former Liberal cabinet minister and his successor in the adjacent riding of Trinity, Aideen Nicholson.

He formed the Canadian Action Party (CAP) in 1995 to provide voters a nationalist option, following the collapse of the National Party of Canada. Hellyer was concerned that both the Progressive Conservative and Liberal parties were embracing globalization, and that the New Democratic Party (NDP) was no longer able to provide a credible alternative. CAP also embraced Hellyer's proposals for monetary reform: that the government should stimulate the economy by significantly increasing the supply of money in the economy, and prevent inflation by imposing wages and price controls.

Following the 2000 election, and the resurgence of the NDP, Hellyer approached the NDP leadership to discuss the possibility of merging the two parties into 'One Big Party'. This process was furthered by the passage of a unanimous motion at the CAP's convention in 2003. 2003 is a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

In early 2004, after several extensions of the merger deadline, the NDP rejected Hellyer's merger proposal which would have required the NDP to change its name. Hellyer resigned as CAP leader, but remains a member of the party. The rumours that he might run for the NDP in the 2004 election proved to be unfounded. 2004 is a leap year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ... A Canadian federal election (more formally, the 38th general election) was held on June 28, 2004 to elect members of the Canadian House of Commons. ...

Hellyer has written several books on Canada and globalization, as well as One Big Party: To Keep Canada Independent, in which he promoted the merger of the CAP, NDP and various left-wing activists to save Canada from annexation by the United States and globalization.
