Consensus Ontario is a defunct political party in Ontario, Canada. The party was led by Ron Patava.[1]
Consensus Ontario was founded in 2016 as a think tank.[2][3] Its original leader, Brad Harness, was the leader of the Reform Party of Ontario and founder of the Ontario Party of Canada, two smaller populist parties in the early 2000s. In preparation for the 2018 Ontario general election, the think tank registered as an official political party with Elections Ontario and fielded ten candidates for the election. The party de-registered after the 2018 election, but re-registered on May 11, 2022.[4]
In 2024, Ron Patava took over as leader from Brad Harness.[1]
The party was deregistered by Elections Ontario in February 2025, after failing to nominate 2 candidates for the 2025 election.[1] Party leader Ron Patava was originally listed as the candidate for the party in Wellington—Halton Hills; however, after the party deregistered, he became an independent on the ballot.[5]
