The Independence Party (TIP), also known as the Alberta Independence Party from 2001 to 2019[1] and the Independence Party of Alberta after 2019,[2] is an Albertan provincial political party.

The party was originally dedicated to increasing the autonomy of Alberta within the Canadian confederation, partly as a response to the failure of the Canadian Alliance to gain traction outside Western Canada in the 2000 Canadian election. One of the party's first challenges was to gather enough signatures to qualify as an official party in Alberta, which it failed to do. In light of this development, its fourteen candidates were forced to stand as independents in the 2001 Alberta general election. The party had a separatist political platform in the 2019 Alberta general election.[3]

Шаблон:AnchorHistory

The AIP disbanded in 2001, re-formed in 2017 and fielded 63 candidates in the 2019 Alberta general election, winning no seats.[4] Dave Bjorkman became interim party leader from early 2018 until his resignation in July 2019.[5][6] Bjorkman opposed Alberta's Bill 24 in November 2017, citing fears that the law would encourage keeping secrets from parents and saying that he supports the LGBT+ community and parental involvement in the Alberta school system.[7] Dave Campbell was elected party leader in the spring of 2020.

In September 2022, street preacher Artur Pawlowski became the leader of the party.[8] He was removed as leader six months later and the party leadership was vacant during the 2023 election.[9][10][11]

On October 3, 2023, Katherine Kowalchuk was named the interim leader.[12] In the 2023 election, she was the best performing candidate for the party, receiving 4.71% of the vote in Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills.[13] On January 31, 2024, Kowalchuk resigned as interim leader.[14]
