"I’m writing with difficult news: due to an administrative filing deadline we unfortunately missed, Elections Canada has informed us that the Libertarian Party will be deregistered effective March 31, 2026.
We now face three possible paths forward and seek your prompt input on which option to pursue.
Option 1 – Re-register the Party We have a narrow window to apply for re-registration and need 250 signatures to do so. To support this option and help save the party, you must act immediately:
- Click the link below
- Print the enclosed form
- Sign it in ink (no electronic signatures will be accepted)
- Leave the date blank. We are checking if it needs to be dated after the deregistration goes into effect.
- Return the signed form to us as quickly as possible to membership@libertarian.ca.
This form simply confirms you are a member and support our effort to regain registered status. It does not ask for money, credit card details, or sensitive personal information beyond basic contact confirmation.

Time is extremely limited—please complete and return this today.
Option 2 – Continue as an Unregistered Party The party could technically survive in an unregistered status. However, among other things, this would mean:
- We can no longer issue official tax receipts for donations
- Candidates would be unable to run under the Libertarian banner
Option 3 – Do Nothing and Let the Party Fold If we receive no support for re-registration, the party will cease to exist as a registered entity after March 31.
We urgently need to hear from you. If you want to fight to keep the party registered (Option 1), please sign and return the form right away. If you prefer Option 2 or 3, reply to this message and let us know your preference.
We truly appreciate your past support and understand this is a difficult situation. Thank you for promptly considering this important matter.
Sincerely,
Jacques Boudreau
Leader,
Libertarian Party of Canada
Libertarian Party of Canada Communications
