Wexit party granted eligibility for next federal election | CBC News
Voters could be allowed to cast their ballot for the western separatist Wexit Canada party in the next federal election.
Elections Canada granted eligibility
to the party Friday, which will allow Wexit to get its party name on
the ballot and issue tax receipts for political contributions.
Speaking
at a rally in Edmonton held at the Alberta legislature on Saturday,
party leader Peter Downing said the decision concluded a year-long
effort to establish a legitimate political entity.
“[The Reform Party’s] slogan was ‘The West Wants In,’” Downing said. “Our slogan is, ‘The West Wants Out.’”
