The Freedom Party of British Columbia is a political party in British Columbia, Canada. The party is currently led by Amrit Birring, an activist who has been consistently protesting against the SOGI123 cirriculum.[2]

History[edit]

The Freedom Party was founded on January 9, 2023, by Amrit Birring and Jay Em.[3][4] Birring was the People's Party of Canada candidate for Fleetwood—Port Kells in the 2021 Canadian federal election, receiving 2.7% of the vote. In 2022, he ran for mayor of Surrey with the People's Council Surrey and got 1.9%.

The party made headlines in March 2023 for holding protests in Surrey against the SOGI (sexual orientation and gender identity) curriculum being used in schools.[5][6] In June 2023, party supporters disrupted a Surrey school board meeting.[7]

The party first contested the 2024 British Columbia general election by nominating 5 candidates in ridings in Surrey and Delta.

Platform[edit]

The party proposes:[8]

  • Freedom of choice in raising children
  • Lower taxes
  • Firearms rights
