Vancouver Island Party or The VanIsle Party[2] is a political party in British Columbia, Canada. The party was led by Robin Richardson, a former Progressive Conservative Member of the Parliament of Canada (1979-80) until November 2019.[3] The party was formed in June 16, 2016.[4] The party proposes that Vancouver Island secede from British Columbia and become Canada's 11th province in 2021.
2017 provincial election
The party intended to have candidates in each of the 14 ridings on Vancouver Island for the provincial election on May 9, 2017,[5] but only fielded four, all in the Greater Victoria area. None of its candidates were elected.[6]
