A new voice for Canadians who believe in balance, responsibility, and opportunity.

The Modern Commons Party is a growing national movement, founded by everyday Canadians who are ready to move past division and get back to what matters—building a strong, secure, and fair future for all.

We believe in fiscal responsibility and pragmatic government, while also recognizing that some Canadians need a hand up, not a handout, to thrive. We’re committed to policies that support working families, local businesses, and the long-term health of our communities and environment.

At a time when politics feels more polarized than ever, Modern Commons stands for common-sense solutions—not ideology. We respect hard work, value personal responsibility while supporting those that need an extra hand and believe in using evidence and compassion to shape policy.

Unlike the major parties, we aren’t driven by insiders or partisan games. We’re powered by grassroots supporters from coast to coast—Canadians who want to bring balance back to Parliament and build a country that works for everyone.

Whether you live in a big city, a small town, or anywhere in between, if you’re looking for a party that puts people before politics, you belong in the Modern Commons.

Meet our Leader

Jack Henry is a small business owner, community advocate, and proud Canadian who believes politics should be about service, not spectacle. As founder of the Modern Commons, he’s leading a movement for thoughtful, steady, and inclusive leadership.

Become a Candidate

The Modern Commons Party of Canada is seeking community-minded individuals to stand as candidates in the next federal election.

We're looking for people who believe in fairness, practical solutions, and putting constituents first — not party politics. No political experience is needed; we welcome diverse voices from all walks of life who want to build a more affordable, sustainable, and united Canada. If you're ready to bring integrity and real change to Ottawa, we invite you to apply.

Housing Can’t Come at the Cost of Nature: Modern Commons on Ontario’s Bill 23

The Modern Commons Party of Canada respects that housing is a provincial responsibility—but federal leaders must not remain silent when development comes at the cost of Canada’s natural heritage. Ontario’s Bill 23, the “More Homes Built Faster Act,” aims to address the urgent housing crisis. That goal is important, and it’s one we share. Every Canadian deserves access to affordable, safe housing. But the tools we use to get there matter—and Bill 23 raises red flags.

National Accessibility Week: It’s Time to Build a Canada Without Barriers

As National Accessibility Week 2025 unfolds (May 25–31), the Modern Commons Party reaffirms its unwavering belief: accessibility is a right, not a request. Millions of Canadians—over 1 in 5—live with visible and invisible disabilities. Despite decades of progress, too many still face systemic exclusion in employment, public services, housing, healthcare, and even democracy itself.

Why Canada Needs a Strong Centre — and Why Modern Commons Is the Party to Lead It

In a time of increasing political polarization, a growing number of Canadians are finding themselves politically homeless. According to a 2024 Abacus Data poll, over 41% of Canadians say they don’t feel represented by any of the major political parties. Many are tired of ideological extremes and yearn for a party rooted in evidence, pragmatism, and a deep respect for both individual rights and collective responsibility. That’s why we’re building the Modern Commons Party—to represent the real centre of Canadian life.
