Who is the Modern Commons Party?
A New Voice for Canadians. Grounded in Community. Driven by Common Sense.
The Modern Commons Party was founded in the heart of Ontario, in Nogojiwanong (Peterborough)—but it was inspired by conversations happening in kitchens, cafés, farms, and city parks all across Canada.
Canadians are tired of the same old political choices. Tired of the extremes. Tired of being talked at instead of listened to. That’s why we created a new kind of political movement—one that puts people before partisanship, and progress before ideology.
We are a grassroots, centrist party that believes government should be a tool for empowerment, stability, and shared prosperity. We believe that good ideas can come from anywhere, and that responsible leadership should serve the many—not just the well-connected few.
What We Offer Canadians of all Political Stripes…
What We Believe.
We are not defined by right or left—we are defined by results. Our policies reflect what Canadians value most.
🏡
Opportunity Through Responsibility
We believe in fiscal balance, smart investments, and supporting working people and families without burdening future generations.
🧱
Affordable Living and Housing Security
Everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to call home. We support solutions that increase housing supply, streamline permitting, and protect tenants and homeowners alike.
🌿
Real Action on Climate and Environment
Climate action should be practical, science-driven, and economically smart—protecting our land and water while creating jobs in sustainable industries.
🏥
Healthcare That Works
Public healthcare must be timely, accessible, and accountable. We support innovative models that maintain universal access while improving care delivery.
🧑🤝🧑
Respect for Hard Work, and a Hand Up When It’s Needed
We stand with small businesses, tradespeople, and workers—and we recognize that sometimes circumstances get in the way. Government should be there to help people get back on their feet with dignity.
🧡
Truth, Reconciliation, and Partnership
We are committed to Indigenous rights, self-determination, and full implementation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action. Decolonization means action, not just acknowledgment.
🏘️
Community-Driven Solutions
We trust local leaders and organizations to know what their communities need. Whether urban or rural, east or west, we want to empower local problem-solvers with the tools and funding to lead.
Why We Are Different
We’re not a protest party or a personality cult. We’re practical, grassroots, and Canadian to the core. We’re not trying to win the culture war—we’re trying to make life more affordable, stable, and fair.
We aren’t funded by corporate lobbies or special interests—we’re built by volunteers, neighbours, and everyday citizens who want their voices heard again.
We don’t pretend to have all the answers. But we know how to listen. And we know how to build solutions that work.
Whether you live in a small town in Saskatchewan, a neighbourhood in Halifax, the suburbs of Vancouver, or the downtown core of Winnipeg—we’re building a modern, pragmatic, inclusive alternative that’s ready to deliver results.
If you're looking for leadership that’s calm, capable, and focused on what really matters to Canadians, you’ve found your place in the Modern Commons.
Let’s build a Canada where everyone has the chance to succeed, and no one is left behind.
