Others

The Bloc Québécois is a federal party that only runs candidates in Québec and is broadly supportive of Québec independence. The party has been led by Yves-François Blanchet since 2019 and held 33 of 338 seats before the election was called. When no party has a Parliamentary majority, the Bloc has occasionally provided support to governing parties that promise either increased support for social services or decentralization of power within Canada.

The People’s Party of Canada is a relatively new party, formed by former Conservative Maxime Bernier in 2018. (Bernier was previously a cabinet minister in Stephen Harper's Conservative government before being ejected.) The party has never won a seat in Parliament, and last election held 5% of the popular vote.

The United Party of Canada has one candidate running in the Fraser Valley. The party was formed in 2023 by Grant Abraham, who left the Conservative Party after an unsuccessful attempt to run for party leadership. The party aims to have Canada withdraw from the United Nations and World Health Organization, eliminate emissions caps, deport certain immigrants, and introduce a total abortion ban.

Other registered political parties include the Animal Protection Party of Canada, the Canadian Future Party, the Centrist Party of Canada, the Christian Heritage Party of Canada, the Communist Part of Canada, the Libertarian Party of Canada, the Marijuana Party, the Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada, and the Rhinoceros Party.

Candidates have also occasionally run as independents, although those bids are rarely successful during an election. There were four independent MPs in Parliament before the election call, three of whom were elected under the Liberal or Conservative banner before leaving the party part-way through their term.
