Rhinoceros Party candidates, 1980 Canadian federal election

The Rhinoceros Party of Canada fielded several candidates in the 1980 federal election, none of whom were elected.

Ontario

Vicki Butterfield (Broadview—Greenwood)

Butterfield ran a low-profile campaign. The Rhinoceros Party announced that she was "following the lead of another, more prominent candidate, and is hiding from the public". [Bill Dampier, "Broadview-Greenwood: Inflation, jobs major worries for residents", "Globe and Mail", 25 January 1980, A13.] This was likely a reference to Liberal leader Pierre Trudeau. She received 196 votes (0.61%), finishing fourth against New Democratic Party incumbent Bob Rae.
