David Orchard (born June 28, 1950, in Borden, Saskatchewan) is a Canadian political figure, member of the Liberal Party of Canada, and nominated Liberal Party candidate for the Saskatchewan riding of Desnethé—Missinippi—Churchill River in the 40th Canadian federal election. Previously, Orchard was a member of the now defunct Progressive Conservative Party of Canada (PC Party), and opposed the party's merger with the Canadian Alliance to form the Conservative Party of Canada. Orchard's political views would generally be regarded as left of centre or even far left within the contemporary Canadian political context, but Orchard himself identifies himself as being primarily nationalist in outlook. Orchard has never held political office in Canada, but has been involved in leadership conventions and other political areas. He is perhaps best known for his campaign to oppose the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement, and has since become a prominent activist against free trade of all sorts, campaigning against the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas and the World Trade Organization. Orchard is a fourth-generation organic grain farmer, and also the author of the book The Fight for Canada: Four Centuries of Resistance to American Expansionism. He was also a co-founder of CCAFT (Citizens Concerned About Free Trade) in 1985.
