Prince Edward Island Fundamental Human Rights Party
- Prince Edward Island Fundamental Human Rights Party
The Fundamental Human Rights Party was a short-lived political party in Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada. It was started by Deborah Kelly-Hawkes and Blair Ross in 2003. Kelly-Hawkes was a formerly a member of the Island New Democrats and was an unsuccessful candidate for that party in the 2000 provincial election.
She registered to run for the leadership of the federal New Democratic Party, but due to her attempts to found the FHR party, she was prohibited from running. She quit the party, and joined forces with Blair Ross. Ross is famous for staging protests outside of Province House in Charlottetown. The two had hoped to run in the 2003 provincial election, but were forced to put their plans on hold when Ross was convicted of theft.
The party promised a $21 an hour minimum wage and to reform the justice system so that "the people who live on Prince Edward Island are treated with the respect and dignity that they all deserve." They also proposed to replace the provincial prison with a "Healing Centre". All provincial judges, governors general, Members of the Legislative Assembly, government employees, police and members of the media would be required to accept treatment at the Healing Centre.
