'''Frank de Jong''' (born October 16, 1955) is a Canadian politician, [[Georgism|Georgist]],<ref>{{cite web |title=Frank de Jong: Economic Rent Best Way to Finance Government |website=[[YouTube]] |date=20 June 2011 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KB6zNyOXMBg |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/KB6zNyOXMBg |archive-date=21 December 2021 |url-status=live |access-date=11 November 2025}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=de Jong |first=Frank |date=13 April 2022 |title=Henry George Economics: For a Just, Green, and Prosperous Society |url=https://canadiancor.com/frank-de-jong-henry-george-economics-for-a-just-green-and-prosperous-society-cacor-presentation-2022-04-13/ |access-date=11 November 2025 |work=Canadian Association for the Club of Rome}}</ref> and environmentalist. He joined the [[Green Party of Ontario]] in 1987 and became the party's first official leader in 1993 – a position he held until November 14, 2009, when he was succeeded by [[Mike Schreiner]]. From 2017 to 2019 he was the leader of the [[Yukon Green Party]].<ref name="WDSdj">{{cite web|url=http://www.whitehorsestar.com/News/yukon-greens-run-record-number-of-candidates|title=Yukon Greens run record number of candidates|last=Cohen|first=Sidney|date=August 31, 2016|publisher=[[Whitehorse Star|Whitehorse Daily Star]]|language=en|access-date=September 1, 2016|location=[[Whitehorse, Yukon]]}}</ref> De Jong has also campaigned for federal office as a member of the [[Green Party of Canada]].

==Education and activism==
Born into a Dutch background, De Jong earned a [[Bachelor of Arts]] degree from the [[University of Western Ontario]] in 1978, and a [[Bachelor of Education]] from [[University of Ottawa]] in 1979.  After graduating, he worked as an elementary school teacher.  He developed an interest in environmental concerns during the mid-1980s, and became involved in campaigns to save Ontario's old growth forests.  He was also involved in the anti-nuclear, renewable energy and [[pro-choice]] movements.  De Jong now resides in Huntsville, Ontario with his partner Tove Christensen.{{fact|date=November 2023}}

==Politics==
The Ontario Green Party did not originally have a formal leadership structure, and was run in a very decentralized manner (nominal leaders were sometimes chosen for elections, but they had no personal authority over party decisions). De Jong and a broad coalition of chapters agreed to a new constitution in 1993. The legwork to facilitate the change was led by Ian Whyte in Ottawa and Jim Harris in Toronto. The actual rewriting of the constitution was led by Ken Toews Policy coordinator who headed up a team to write the new constitution. The changes to the constitution were approved with an 88% majority. There is a direct line between these changes to our constitution and the eventual election of Mike Schreiner to the provincial legislature. A small number of chapters opposed this approach, and successfully campaigned for a formal leadership contest in 1993. De Jong himself entered this contest, and defeated [[James R. M. Harris|Jim Harris]], who later became leader of the Green Party of Canada.  De Jong supported Harris's leadership of the federal party until Harris stepped down in 2006, at which time de Jong supported [[David Chernushenko]]'s leadership bid. He was challenged for the leadership of the Ontario Green Party by [[Judy Greenwood-Speers]] in 2001.

Like Harris, de Jong is an [[eco-capitalist]].  He defines his political philosophy as "socially progressive, fiscally conservative, and environmentally aware".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://gpo.ca/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120208173600/http://www.gpo.ca/node/26|url-status=dead|title=Ontario Greens &#124; The Ontario you want. The leadership we need.|archive-date=February 8, 2012|website=Green Party of Ontario}}</ref>  He has long supported conservative economic policies, including a gradual shift from the taxation of incomes to the taxation of natural resources.  He has also spoken against extensive government subsidies and funding for crown corporations.

At the October 2005 [[Green Party of Ontario]] [[Annual General Meeting]], de Jong narrowly avoided a "leadership review" when 67% of voting members voted against it.  The GPO constitution requires that a leadership review be held bi-annually; If more than one-third of voting members had opted for a review, a leadership race would have been held in 2006.  At the 2007 AGM, de Jong survived the next scheduled review, this time with approximately 71% support from party members.  This followed what was considered the strongest election performance by the GPO to date.<ref>[https://www.thestar.com/article/279832 "Green leader gets 71 per cent support"]. ''Toronto Star'', November 26, 2007.</ref> Speaking at the Green Party of Ontario AGM in May 2009, de Jong announced that he would not be running for re-election as leader of the party.<ref>[https://www.thestar.com/news/ontario/article/639159 "Frank de Jong to step down as Green party leader"]. ''[[Toronto Star]]'', May 23, 2009.</ref>

In the September 14, 2006, Parkdale–High Park by-election, de Jong received 6.2 percent of the vote.  On November 7, 2006, he was nominated as the GPO candidate in the riding of [[Davenport (provincial electoral district)|Davenport]] for the [[2007 Ontario general election]].<ref>[https://archive.today/20120802015025/http://www.greenparty.on.ca/node/922%23attachments ''Davenport Green Party nominates de Jong''], Green Party of Ontario news release, November 8, 2006.</ref> In that election, de Jong captured 10.26 percent of the vote, his best showing as a member of the Green Party.

De Jong was a candidate for Ward 18 in [[2010 Toronto municipal election|Toronto's 2010 municipal election]].

As of December 2014, de Jong was living in [[Faro, Yukon]] and was the [[Green Party of Canada]] candidate in the [[Yukon (electoral district)|Yukon]] riding in the [[42nd Canadian federal election|2015 federal election]], placing a distant fourth.<ref>{{cite web|last=Reynolds |first=Christopher |url=http://whitehorsestar.com/News/local-man-pursues-ndp-nomination |title=Whitehorse Daily Star: Local man pursues NDP nomination |publisher=Whitehorsestar.com |date=December 18, 2014 |access-date=December 25, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/green-party-s-frank-de-jong-asks-yukoners-to-follow-their-green-conscience-1.3259765| title = Green Party's Frank de Jong asks Yukoners to follow their 'green conscience' {{!}} CBC News}}</ref>

==Election campaigns==

De Jong has campaigned for federal and provincial office several times. His best showing was in the [[2003 Ontario general election|provincial election of 2003]], when he ran against sitting [[Premier of Ontario|Premier]] [[Ernie Eves]] and finished third, ahead of the [[New Democratic Party of Canada|New Democratic Party]] candidate.  On all other occasions, de Jong has finished well behind candidates of the major parties.

During the 1995 provincial campaign, de Jong cycled on a "leader's tour" from [[Ottawa]] to [[Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario|Sault Ste. Marie]], [[Windsor, Ontario|Windsor]] and [[Niagara Falls, Ontario|Niagara Falls]] before returning northward to Ottawa.  Subsequently, he was involved in creating constituency contact lists throughout the province.
