There are over 50 ways to rig elections.

Canada has three kinds of elections:

  • National (federal) elections
    Many parties share the same name as provincial parties, but must remain separate.
  • Provincial and territory elections
    Many parties share the same name as national parties, but must remain separate.
    For example, the Green Party Of Canada must be completely independent of the Green Party Of Ontario
  • Municipal and county elections
    Candidates run independently without official political party affiliation.

Party monopolies

Canadian politics are corrupt in countless ways, and are dominated a handful of national and provincial major parties. Each party has their own rigged system and constitution that limits party members from challenging the status quo, if not willing, forcing them, to be puppets that neither represent nor serve those who elected them.[citation needed]

Hope against tyranny

Independent candidates

Independent candidates have a slim chance to break through the party monopoly, but there is a chance. If and when an independent candidate is elected they may have the ability to investigate and expose systemic corruption.[citation needed]

None Of The Above Party

None Of The Above Party, also known as NOTA, is a direct democracy party, and the Canadian None Of The Above Party has joined the Direct Democracy Party, and perhaps the Ontario NOTA Party will form and join an Ontario Direct Democracy Party. When founding the party they were not allowed to use "Direct Democracy Party" allegedly because it was confusingly too similar to the New Democratic Party.Template:Citations needed
