The Party for the Commonwealth of Canada was a political party which supported the ideology of the far-right U.S. politician Lyndon LaRouche.[1] The party ran candidates in the 1984, 1988 and 1993 elections.

In the 1988 election, party leader Gilles Gervais led a slate of 58 candidates campaigning against the monarchy, hemispheric free trade, dollarization of Latin American economies, and financial oligarchy.

The party never won any seats. It was also known as the Party for the Commonwealth-Republic, and as the Committee for the Republic of Canada.
