The mainstream Canadian parties became increasingly irritated by fringe competitors and in 1993 Parliament passed a bill that proved devastating for the Rhinos. The cost of registering each candidate soared to $1,000 from $200 and a party had to field at least 50 candidates nationwide before being registered, placing the Rhinos in an impossible position.
The Rhino Party was great. I remember when the pissy politicians rammed through the new rules that essentially shut them down because that’s when my political beliefs were born.
Long live the remnants of the Rhinos, if for no other reason than to expose the stupidity of Canada’s current political parties.
