In the 1965 federal election, Jerry Le Bourdais, who listed his profession as "oilworker", unsuccessfully sought election in Vancouver East riding in British Columbia as a candidate of the Progressive Workers Movement. He won 275 votes, 1.3% of the popular vote.
Le Bourdais described himself as an "admirer of Chinese socialism".
