The Freedom Party of British Columbia, also called Freedom Party of BC, is a provincial political party in British Columbia, Canada. It was founded and registered with Elections BC on Jan 09, 2023.
Here is the list of all registered political parties in the province of British Columbia from Elections BC government website: https://elections.bc.ca/docs/fin/Registered-Political-Parties-Information.pdf
The Party's founder and leader is Amrit Birring.
The Party's main activities have been to organize protests against SOGI 123 curriculum in British Columbia Public Schools..[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].
The party controversially, disallowed Gays Against Groomers to fly their flags alongside them, in their protest rallies against SOGI 123 in BC Schools[8]
Amrit Birring, leader of the party, launched a criminal case[9] against BC Education Minister Rachna Singh under section 171.1, exposing children to sexually explicit material. The case was concluded[10] by Surrey RCMP, without taking any action. They gave the reasoning that sexually explicity material does existing in BC Public School LIbraries, both in elementary and secondary schools, but it has not been show to any student.
The party is fielding candidates for the Oct 19 2024 BC Provincial Elections in Canada. Here is current list of all Elections BC approved candidates, which includes Freedom Party of BC candidates as well: https://elections.bc.ca/2024-provincial-election/candidate-list/
An article on party's candidate from Delta North depicts their platform as anti SOGI.[11]
The party website is: https://freedompartybc.ca/
Principles
[edit]The Freedom Party of British Columbia advocates for Freedom of medical choice, Freedom of choice for children's’ education free of indoctrination, Freedom of Canadian housing only for Canadians, Freedom from over taxing by government, Freedom of religious places out of government control, Freedom of media companies out of government control, Freedom of movement, Freedom from government surveillance, and Freedom of owning firearms.
The Party fielded five candidates in BC Elections[13], held on Oct 19, 2024. This makes them fourth largest party in BC in terms of fielding candidates, behind BC NDP, Conservatives BC, and BC Green. The five candidates were Amrit Birring from Surrey-Newton[14], Paramjit Rai from Surrey-Panorama[15], Kiran Hundal from Surrey North[16], Judy Meilleur from Surrey-Cloverdale[17], and Manqoosh Khan from Delta North[18]. No candidate from the party won.
Here are results[19] of Surrey ridings, where four of their five candidates fought.
Party leader claims[20] that one third of the votes of Conservative BC came because of the work of Freedom Party of BC on exposing SOGI 123 and its impact on BC School Children. Particularly, party and its associates' work was instrumental in flipping Surrey North riding in Conservative's favour even though it was a stronghold of BC NDP.
Older Freedom Party of British Columbia
[edit]The name Freedom Party of British Columbia was also used in the past by a party that existed between 2001 and 2009. It was de-registered by Elections BC in 2009.
