The Ontario Libertarian Party (OLP; French: Parti libertarien de l'Ontario) is a libertarian political party in the Canadian province of Ontario. It is one of five provincial parties in Ontario running enough candidates in 2018 to govern a majority. Founded in 1975 by Bruce Evoy, Vince Miller, and others, the party was inspired by the 1972 formation of the US Libertarian Party.[2] The party is guided by a Statement of Principles and the philosophical ideas of Austrian School of Economics.[3][4] It is influenced by authors and thinkers such as Jan Narveson and Murray Rothbard. The party's leader was Allen Small, who resigned in July 2018. Deputy Leader Rob Ferguson has taken over until the expected Convention in the Spring of 2019.


In 1980 a schism occurred in the libertarian movement in Ontario, with several members of the Libertarian Party, unhappy with its direction and democratic structure, left and formed the Objectivist-influenced Unparty.[5] In 1984, under the leadership of Marc Emery and Robert Metz, the Unparty's name changed to the Freedom Party of Ontario.[6][7]

Election results




Results of the 2014 Ontario general election showing support for Libertarian candidates by riding


In 1995, under the leadership of John Shadbolt, the party's total vote declined to 6,085 votes. Shadbolt resigned one day after the 1995 election, and was replaced by George Dance on an interim basis. Sam Apelbaum was chosen as the party's full-time leader at a convention in October 1996.[8]


Changes to the Ontario Election Act, enabling fixed election dates at four-year intervals, allowed the party to prepare well in advance for the 2007 general election. As a result, the party fielded 25 candidates and obtained a total of 9,249 votes.[9]


In the 2011 General Election, the party ran 51 candidates and won a total of 19,387 votes, 0.45% of the popular vote. This was more than double the number of candidates and votes received in the 2007 general election.[10]


The party's most successful election was in the 2014 general election, with Libertarian candidates receiving 0.81% of the vote.[11]
