Animal Alliance Environment Voters Party of Canada : ウィキペディア英語版 | Animal Alliance Environment Voters Party of Canada
The Animal Alliance Environment Voters Party of Canada (AAEV) is a small registered political party in Canada that focuses on animal rights and environmentalism. It was formed by two organizations, the Animal Alliance of Canada and Environment Voters. Both parent organizations have been vocal in opposition to the seal hunt in Newfoundland and Labrador, fur farming, trapping, and bear hunting. The party is led by Liz White, a Toronto-based animal rights advocate. ==Influence of electoral law== Federal laws restricting political advocacy by “third parties” (i.e., organizations not registered by Elections Canada as political parties) during election campaigns led to the formation of this party. Following a Supreme Court of Canada ruling that allowed political parties to be registered by only running a single candidate, animal rights activists formed the party. The AAEV party provides its members and candidates the opportunity to promote its views during election periods.〔(AAEV: About Us )〕 The party's role in most ridings is to endorse a major-party candidate who promotes positions favourable to its own. In the 2006 general election, AAEV's free-time political ads endorsed the New Democratic Party, counterbalanced by the statement that voters could also vote for AAEV party leader Liz White in Toronto Centre.〔(Political announcement (Windows Media Video) )〕 Canadian electoral laws hinder misuse of this loophole by setting campaign spending limits for parties, proportional to the number of voters in the electoral districts where the party is running candidates. Because the AAEV was running only one candidate, it was permitted to spend $66,715.37, compared to the $18,225,260.74 limits granted to the major national parties.〔(Chief Electoral Officer of Canada Announces Election Expenses Limits for Registered Political Parties )〕 In 2008, the party ran four candidates. In 2011, it ran 7 candidates with one candidate in the Western Arctic riding. In 2015, the party ran 8 candidates, with one in Victoria, British Columbia.
