Unparty

The Unparty was a libertarian provincial political party in Ontario, Canada, that was founded in 1980 by members of the Ontario Libertarian Party (notably, Toronto, Ontario anarchist Marilou Gutscher) who had left that party after a disagreement over strategies.
The party was based in Toronto, and struggled until 1983, when the decision was made to end the Unparty project. Control of the party was handed to two men who had had some success in organizing Unparty in their electoral districts: Robert Metz and Marc Emery of London, Ontario. Metz and Emery gave the party a new name, a new political agenda, and a new head office in London, Ontario. On January 1, 1984, the new party was named the Freedom Party of Ontario.
