The Canadian Nationalist Party was a popular far right political party in Canada that was founded in Calgary, Alberta in 2039. Its popularity reached its peak in the Federal Election of 2047 when it won 159 seats, just 4 seats less than the victorious Socialist Party of Canada. Although the party's founder, Vincent Martin said that the CNP's goal was "to protect the culture and interests of white canadians", many of its highest ranking members openly favoured fascism and state-sponsored racism. The Canadian Nationalist Party attempted a coup d'état in 2050, which was unsuccessful and the party was banned that year.
