Joseph Thauberger

Joseph Thauberger (26 August 1909, Bessarabia, Russian Empire-21 April 1998, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada) was a Canadian farmer and politician. He emigrated to Canada from Russia with his parents, Andreas Thauberger and Maria Eva née Bähr, in 1911.

In the 1972 federal election, Thauberger ran for the Social Credit Party of Canada in the riding of Qu’Appelle, Saskatchewan. Thauberger placed last in a field of four candidates, with 839 votes (3.1% of the total).

Thauberger helped establish the Canada Party in the early 1990s to promote a policy of nationalism and monetary reform. He became the first leader of that party.

In the 1993 election, Thauberger ran for the Canada Party in the riding of Regina—Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan. Thauberger placed last in a field of six candidates, with 178 votes (0.55% of the total).

Thauberger stepped down from the party leadership in 1994, and was replaced by Claire Foss. The party merged into the Canadian Action Party in 1997.

Joseph Thauberger's son, Dr. Patrick Thauberger, disappeared in Regina, Saskatchewan, in 1997 while travelling from Winnipeg to Edmonton. He has yet to be found. [http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/1628dmsk.html]
