Colby Fraser

Calvert M. "Colby" Fraser is a perennial candidate for office in the province of New Brunswick, Canada.

He has run for the Canadian House of Commons on two occasions both in the electoral district of Fundy—Royal. In 1988, he was a candidate of the Confederation of Regions Party and finished fourth with 6.1% of the vote. In 1993, running again under the COR banner, but listed as an independent as COR failed to nominate the minimum number of candidates to be recognized as a party, he finished fifth with 2.7%.

He has run for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick in every election since, at least, 1987. In the 1987 election, he was an independent and finished fourth with 4.6% of the vote in the district of Kings Centre. Following this, he was part of a group who founded the Confederation of Regions Party of New Brunswick in 1989 and in the 1991 general election was nearly elected, finishing second in Kings Centre with 30.7% of the vote. The victorious Liberal, Georgie Day, won with only 32.0%. In 1995 and 1999, he ran in the new district of Grand Bay-Westfield, both times under the CoR banner, but finished fourth with 8.8% and 4.2% of the vote respectively. Following the 1999 election, he served as leader of CoR from 1999-2002 when the party was dissolved. Fraser has since ran as an independent in Grand Bay-Westfield (and its successor district, Fundy-River Valley) in the last two provincial elections, finishing fifth in 2003 and third in 2006.

He is a strong opponent of official bilingualism.
