The Yukon Freedom Party is a territorial political party in Yukon, Canada. Its founder and leader is Joseph Zelezny who was previously the People's Party of Canada candidate for Yukon in the 2019 Canadian federal election.[2] [3]
The party formed and registered with Elections Yukon on November 15, 2021.[2] [4] In the remaining weeks of 2021, the party raised 8,149ドル.[5]
Yukon premier Sandy Silver has suggested that the party's existence has exerted considerable pressure on the Yukon Party.[6]
In 2022, Zelezny attended some convoy protests in the territory organized by a citizens group called "Yukon Freedom".[7] The party denied any connection between the party and the protest organizers, saying that Zelezny was not an organizer, and that the similarity to the party's name was coincidental.[7] [8]
