Anthony Barendregt (born 1961 in British Columbia) is a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He has campaigned for the Canadian House of Commons on two occasions -- once as an independent, and once for the Christian Heritage Party.
Barendregt moved to Manitoba in 1984, and obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in History and Political Science from the University of Manitoba. He now works in the construction industry, and has been a supervisor, foreman and contractor on a number of projects. He has also been involved in youth outreach programs with aboriginal children, and spent many of his past summers working with the disabled in New Westminster, British Columbia. His family owns a 40 acre (160,000 m²) hobby farm in Manitoba.
He first ran for the House of Commons in the Canadian federal election of 2000, at a time when the CHP had been officially de-registered. Campaigning as an independent, he received 178 votes in Selkirk--Interlake.
The CHP were re-established by the 2004 election, and Barendregt again ran in the Selkirk--Interlake riding. He received 353 votes, or less than 1% of the total. On one occasion in this campaign, he claimed that the CHP would not increase funding to Canadian universities because they only consider postmodern views to be relevant.
