The New Brunswick FreeProvince Project (NBFP; French: Projet FreeProvince du Nouveau-Brunswick, PFNB) is a political migration movement centered around the province of New Brunswick and modeled off of the New Hampshire based Free State Project.
As of March 2021, the number of participants of the NBFP who have signed a statement of intent declaring that they either intended to move to New Brunswick or as local participants is over 600.[1]
Intent
The NBFP as an organization does not endorse legislation or candidates for office. It does, however, pursue the goals of recruiting liberty-oriented Canadians to make the move, providing moving coordination, spreading the message of individual liberty, and facilitating meet-ups with like-minded individuals in the province.
History
The FreeProvince Project was started in June of 2021 by Mark Vandermaas, an accomplished peacekeeper in the Canadian Army, Israeli Land Rights advocate [2] and civil rights activist in the Grand River land dispute. [3] The province was chosen for its small population of around 800,000 as well as being the most lightly taxed and fiscally conservative province in Atlantic Canada. At the time, Vandermaas highlighted the failure of the People's Party of Canada (the only federal party to oppose the COVID lockdowns and vaccine mandates) to gain federal representation in the House of Commons due to a combination of the inherently collectivist nature of federal Canadian politics and PPC votes being too spread out to achieve real change. Thus suggesting that, though the 840,000 PPC voters who participated in the 2021 election would have little influence on Canada as a whole, a fraction would be more than enough to tilt a small province in the direction of liberty.[4] The start of the movement was also in response to the Blaine Higgs administration's attempts to restrict food to unvaccinated citizens [5]. As of now, the NBFP is aiming to become a not-for-profit organization. They have also contacted the Free Cities Foundation and convinced them to add NB to their list of liberty-focused intentional communities.[1]
