Douglas (Doug) Christie is a Canadian lawyer and political activist based in Victoria , British Columbia . He is best known for defending individuals accused of Nazi War Crime s or Racist , Anti-Semitic or Neo-Nazi activity. He is also the founder and leader of the Western Canada Concept , a separatist party of British Columbia and The Western Block Party, a right-wing political party advocating the separation of British Columbia, Alberta , Saskatchewan and Manitoba from Canadian Confederation . Christie's more notable clients have included:
Christie was the founding leader of the national Western Canada Concept, but was removed from the leadership in 1981 . He was subsequently denied membership in the party's Alberta branch. He later became leader of British Columbia's Provincial WCC , and led it through provincial elections in that province through the 1980 s and 1990 s. Christie never won a Seat at the provincial or federal level, nor did the BC WCC ever win any seats in the provincial elections it contested. Christie continues to run an organization with the "Western Canada Concept" name, but it is no longer a registered political party except at the provincial level in British Columbia, which has relatively lax party registration laws. In 2005 , Christie announced his intention to form a new federal political party to be called the Western Block Party which would be a Western Canadian version of the '' Bloc Québécois '' in that its role in the Canadian House Of Commons would be to act as a regional separatist party. The WCC and WBP are not affiliated with the Separation Party Of Alberta or the Western Independence Party Of Saskatchewan . Officials in these parties have distanced themselves from Christie - for example, they do not include links to the WCC or WBP on their websites even though the SPA and WIPS do link to one another. The WBP was officially registered with Elections Canada prior to the 2006 Federal Election . Christie is ran in the Riding of Esquimalt—Juan De Fuca in British Columbia , finishing fifth in a field of six. EXTERNAL LINKS
