The Atlantica Party (AP) is a Canadian political organization based in Nova Scotia, Canada. The Atlantica Party association was registered with the government of Nova Scotia as a political association in April 2009.
During the 2009 Nova Scotia election the party began to recruit candidates and revealed a platform. It was registered as a political party by Elections Nova Scotia on March 10, 2010.
The party was deregistered by Elections Nova Scotia at the request of party leader Jonathan Dean on June 5, 2012 after the party was suspended for failing to file its 2011 annual reports. While the deregistration request by Dean is not disputed, the circumstances regarding the suspension are.
In the 2013 provincial election, the Atlantica Party ran three candidates in the ridings of Halifax Citadel-Sable Island, Hammonds Plains-Lucasville and Dartmouth South as independents because the party was not registered.
On June 28, 2016, Elections Nova Scotia announced that the Atlantica Party had again been registered as a party.
Aspects of the Atlantica Party platform include:
Jonathan Geoffrey Dean (November 17, 2006 – present). He ran in the provincial election of 2009 in the riding of Halifax Clayton Park, placing fifth with 51 votes. In 2010, Dean ran in a byelection in the riding of Yarmouth, finishing last with 19 votes. In 2011, Dean ran in a byelection in the Cape Breton North riding, finishing last with 72 votes. In 2013, Dean ran in the Nova Scotia general election in the riding of Hammonds Plains-Lucasville, and received 104 votes.
