Wikipedia:WikiProject Political parties and politicians in Canada/list of parties

This page is a list of all the parties that have been coded into {{Canadian party colour}}, and their colour decided by consensus, to be used on Canadian political articles. See the documentation there for explanation and examples of the usage and functions. If you would like a party added, or a colour changed, please use the talk page.

Multi-jurisdiction values

If there are no jurisdiction-specific articles for a party, these outputs will be used. The "XX" can be substituted for anything, unless there is a jurisdiction-specific value for that name.

Special entries

Independents and coalitions

Independent candidates can be simply labeled as Independent, which links to Independent politician#Canada or Non-partisan, which links to Non-partisan democracy. In some cases, however, it is preferable to enter a custom designation. The "XX" in the input text can be substituted for any jurisdiction.
