History

The PPP is a relatively new party, as it was officially registered in 2006.  It was started by leader Roger Poisson and a small group of women and First Nations peoples to advocate respect for women and aboriginal rights.  It is a populist and socially conservative party.  They ran 2 candidates in the 2008 election and earned 0.36% of the votes in the ridings they contested.

Political Alignment Policy Priorities
Restore value of women by banning pornography, immoral dress, and prostitution; Close businesses on Sunday (bring back family day); Restore the dignity of First Nations, working with the churches.

Major Players of Today

Roger Poisson is a founder and the leader of the party.  He considers himself to be the “father of Canada,” or at least potentially, as he believes that the nation must be run like a family.
