Claim: Wexit Canada was founded on 10 January 2020 by Peter Downing in the aftermath of the 2019 Canadian federal election, which returned Justin Trudeau as prime minister; the party advocated for either constitutional changes benefiting Western Canada or the creation of an independent Western Canadian nation, defined as encompassing British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, distinct from any single-province independence movement such as Alberta-specific organisations.
