TheCanadian Action Party (CAP;French:Parti action canadienne,PAC) was a Canadianfederalpolitical party founded in 1997 and deregistered on 31 March 2017.[1]

The party stood forCanadian nationalism,[2]monetary andelectoral reform,[3] and opposedliberal globalization andfree trade agreements that had been signed by the Canadian government.

History

[edit]

The Canadian Action Party (CAP) was founded byPaul Hellyer,[4] a formerLiberalminister of national defence[5] in thecabinet ofLester B. Pearson. Hellyer ran unsuccessfully for theleadership of the Liberal Party in 1968, and for the leadership of theProgressive Conservative Party in1976.

CAP nominated candidates for the first time in the1997 federal election.

After the 1997 election, it absorbed theCanada Party, another minor party concerned about monetary reform which had been formed by former members of theSocial Credit Party of Canada. Former Canada Party leader Claire Foss served as vice president of CAP until November 2003.

Hellyer resigned as CAP leader in 2003 after theNew Democratic Party (NDP) never agreed to a merger proposal, under which the NDP would change its name. In 2004, Connie Fogal, an activist lawyer, was acclaimed party leader afterDavid Orchard failed to respond to an invitation to take over the leadership. Fogal stepped down in 2008; she was succeeded by Andrew J. Moulden following the2008 federal election.

The actingchief electoral officer of Canada advised the party leader that the party would be deregistered effective Friday, March 31, 2017, for not having at least 250 members who are eligible voters.[6]

Positions

[edit]

Monetary reform movement

[edit]

Monetary reform was a key policy issue for CAP, to ensure the sovereignty of the country's money supply.[7] CAP sought fundamental reform of the banking system.[8] CAP advocated for borrowing from the Bank of Canada to finance infrastructure.[9]

A number of CAP members also belonged to theCommittee on Monetary and Economic Reform and had been influential in developing CAP's monetary policy, particularly its position that theBank of Canada, rather than chartered banks, should provide loans to the government, if required, to fund public spending. Hellyer advocated for the Bank of Canada to more extensively create money and finance public debt.[10] CAP proposed increasing the ratio of new money created by the government to 50%.[11]

CAP also argued for the abrogation of theNorth American Free Trade Agreement, and opposed current government trade initiatives and any legislation leading to theFree Trade Area of the Americas,Trans-Pacific Partnership and what it saw as integration with theUnited States andMexico into aNorth American Union.[12][verification needed]
