Maverick Party
The Maverick Party, formerly known as Wexit Canada, is a Canadian federal political party. It advocates for constitutional change that will benefit the West, or the independence of Western Canada, which includes British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the three territories. The former name was a play on Brexit, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. The party has its roots in Alberta separatism.

The party plans to run candidates across the four provinces and three territories in the upcoming 44th Canadian federal election. The Maverick Party will not run candidates in ridings where there is a strong possibility of electing a Liberal or New Democratic Party candidate. Jay Hill noted that vote splitting will not be a significant issue since most elections are won before Western votes are counted.

The party is led by former Conservative Party of Canada House leader Jay Hill following the resignation of former leader Peter Downing. Hill came out of retirement to act as interim leader of the Maverick Party until a new leader can be established. Hill has said he wants the party to serve a purpose in the West similar to what the Bloc Québécois has done for Quebec.
