The Ontario Provincial Confederation of Regions Party is a minor political party in Ontario, Canada, the provincial branch of the now-defunct Confederation of Regions Party of Canada. The party was founded in 1989, around the time the federal CoR was dissolved, and remains the last Confederation of Regions Party in Canada.
The CoR survives only in Ontario, though the original raison d'être of the federal CoR was to promote the rights of regions other than Ontario and Quebec.
The party campaigns on the promotion of direct democracy, protection of Canadian heritage and environmental sustainability, while opposing urban sprawl onto farmland, 'big business' and unionization. The party's proposed health care plan would "give individuals more responsibility over their own health care", however, it would not support a two tier health care system.
If elected, the party would hold a referendum on the French Language Services Act, and halt all multicultural funding.
Results of recent elections for the Legislative Assembly of Ontario:
In the 1990 election, CoR candidates in Algoma, Cochrane South, Nickel Belt, Sudbury, Sudbury East and Sault Ste. Marie placed ahead of Ontario Progressive Conservative Party candidates. The party rapidly declined in popularity, receiving less than 0.01% of the popular vote in the 1999, 2003, 2007, and 2009 elections.
